David Charles and Gustavo Lacerda have an ongoing project exploring a very simple concept that appeals, well, to everyone: sex. David visualizes an idea and Lacerda has the perfect photographic style to bring them to life. They start working on the photo way before it’s taken. From set design to art direction they work together […]

Elegant contours of a lady’s face surrounded by vibrant petals spawned an upbeat atmosphere that encircled Broadway Gallery in New York City in April. Such was the work of Italian artist Stefania Carrozzini. The bold colors in Carrozzini’s collage piece created a strong contrast with the rest of the works presented in The Places of […]

During my daily walk down Bleeker Street, heading towards 7th Avenue, I deliberated bypassing my favorite patisserie in favor of the hip Mud coffee truck positioned just across West 4th in Sheridan Square. My inner “cool barometer” lobbied for this new, convenient, efficient, and chic-as-Apple alternative. Coffee on wheels has taken on a fresh new […]

These paintings are part of a series I began in late 2002 through early 2003, a year after my mother’s death. For the previous 25 years, I had worked entirely in welded steel, as a self-taught sculptor of animals and imaginary creatures. My formal education was in science (Biology and Pre-med), and the animal sculptures […]

In my mind I extract these moments, focusing on them as finished works instead of simply a part that is lost in the whole of the story.  In many ways my projects––in video, […]

Using cultural clichés as a catalyst, this exhibition focuses on the labels that have given cultural meaning to the specificities of a given region. Finland does not belong to the Arctic in any literal geographic sense, but the Finns—as well as the French and the English—are believed to have specific national characteristics, due to their […]

They are pictures by someone softening things for us, filing the burrs of reality off so that we can touch things again without thick gloves. In her work, there is the compassion of someone welcoming […]

Recently, Carla Klein took her show on the road, which is to say that a number of the paintings she has produced in the last months are based on snapshots made while driving (or, alternatively, while being driven, as the case usually seems to be) across the United States. These source photographs, as they may […]
