In the process of their creation, my paintings do not have any declared beginning. The canvases are often covered with traces of the studio even before the final format or subject matter has been determined. Often, the finished pieces are bipartite and consist of separate works that have been combined right in the middle of […]

In the belief that my own words would be just marginal notes upon the truth within the canvas, I decided to approach the composition of a text about my personal relationship to my work in a way similar to the process of creating a painting. Surrounded by invented or found text fragments, I reorder and […]

Viewed from a distance, Kim Keever’s large photographs are of moody, damp environments—mist hovers over boggy ground, tropical plants crowd the embankment, streams snake across the dirt—and everything is oppressed by an uncommonly active sky with thick clouds that stretch for miles and then close off the view. Yet there is something disquietingly artificial about […]

It was in Buenos Aires one year ago that I had a surprise encounter with Vito Campanella’s work at the MALBA Museum. Although surrealist art is in my bailiwick, I was glimpsing for the first time the work of a major artist—an entirely imaginary and fantastic world of creation crafted over more than half a […]

January is figure month at the Walter Wickiser Gallery. In one group show, Milton Avery’s daughter, March Avery, and grandson, Sean Cavanaugh, grace the walls with curious appropriations and realistic apparitions. In another nearby room hang the story tale narratives of Korean artist Deulnai Kim, which show a great mastery of aquatint etching. In the […]

In her second solo show, “Vice Versa,” Sofi Zezmer entices the viewer into her futuristic universe, magnified under a powerful microscope. The 18 objects in her exhibition are constructed from jazzy, color-saturated plastic, meticulously assembled, fitted with clamps and bits, and pieces culled from medical suppliers and toy factories. They vary in size from 12 […]

If you want to view a resurrection, then Columbus, Ohio is your city. Here, the long extinct Dodo bird can be seen gracing the walls of the Columbus Museum of Art thanks to the images in the exhibit “Dodo & Mauritius Island, Imaginary Encounters” by Finnish sculptor and photographer Harri Kallio. If one didn’t know […]

On the coldest night of the year, a large, convivial crowd turned out for Brian Degraw’s New York debut at James Fuentes Gallery’s inaugural.  A veritable youth quake—jostled cheek to jowl—squeezed together into the small, Chinatown storefront. A call to arms for youth to man the barricades, or at least so the press release pronounced […]

Steven Psyllos: Please describe the process of your art-making. Do you have a certain image in mind or is the process more organic? Kai Lintumaa: My process varies a lot, there are times when I know exactly what I am trying to create, be it a composite or a single shot, while at other times […]
