Since modern physics and cosmology give answers to todays philosophical questions, they simultaneously pose new ones. I think that these sciences should be spread more into fine arts, and I do this by painting. My work consists of different concepts. Over the years, did I work exclusively of acrylic on canvas in order to concentrate on […]
Sinikka Elfving
I call myself an artist for humanity. I paint about life, and the human being in the center of it as a part of the creation. The colors and themes in my works tell a story in such a way as we color our lives with different paint and make different choices. I want to […]
Jus Juchtmans at Margaret Thatcher Projects
Upon first glance, “Color Virus,” the third solo exhibition of Belgian artist Jus Juchtmans currently up at Margaret Thatcher Projects, seems to speak to or qualify itself within the monochrome painting movement. Each of Juchtmans’ pieces is a kind of meditation on a color: one blue, another red, another yellow, another white. As such, the […]

Best March Art Fair of 2014: The Independent
Seemingly everyone’s favorite art fair, at least according to the artists I talk to each year, The Independent has put on another strong showing in 2014. Set in the old Dia Chelsea space as usual, the more open, airy floor plan makes for easy digestion of the largely varied media of work on display. Galleries […]
Notes From ARCO Madrid
ARCO, the strange annual mirage of the Madrid artworld, is over. I watched it like anyone else, from the outside, as a spectator among thousands. That usually works. I don’t need to schmooze. Besides, like Frank always says, “What you see is what you get.” But this time I have to say ARCO 2014 was […]
Shoulda Coulda Gone to Volta
Many art fairs do their best to put in a classy air. In my opinion, this should also involve making the viewing experience as direct and digestible as possible. Volta is the only fair that attempts to do this in limiting the number of artists each gallery is expected to hang in their given booth. […]
