For many years my challenge was to break through my classical training in order to become accepted in the world of contemporary art, but now in my more mature years I have come to realize that all I know and what I have learnt is part of what I am as an artist. I enjoy […]

It’s not every evening that you get to celebrate the opening of an artist’s work like Davor Vukovic was fortunate enough to enjoy at Broadway Gallery last night. His impressive seascape-inspired abstractions span almost ten feet in any given direction and are full of vibrant colors. An expert in juggling hues, the artist has composed […]

I entitled all the works that have shoes as their subject the Steps of a woman. They are born from thinking of all those steps that a woman makes to carry out her tasks, to realize her dreams. I work on this theme every now and then, painting in small groups, always different even in size, […]

Klaus Enrique is a New York based photographer whose work echoes that of Giuseppe Arcimboldo, with some surprising twists. For one, the subjects of his portraits—made from fruits, vegetables, and yes, even raw chicken—are captured in real time, in the glorious moments before they inevitably began to decay. The photographs are stunning commentaries on the […]

Showcasing four artists who hail from four different countries; Belgium, The Netherlands, The United States, and France, Backslash Gallery has put together a cohesive show of artists working in similar veins but from different parts of the globe. These artists use codes and forms centring on the theme of construction and deconstruction. Populating the gallery […]

The consideration of producing multiples, and the processes investigated in doing so, make Fluctuations both an exercise in coproduction and experimentation. With the help of our guest jurors Kyle Simon and Jon Irving, Fluctuations was curated to give […]

Parody and irony entertainingly put what is narrated at a distance. Which of these two rhetorical devices does Judith Hopf employ, when she places a flock of eight sheep appearing to gaze at the entering visitors in the main gallery space? All of these sheep, whose caricature-like faces are hand-drawn, seem to have been made […]

Imagine this show as candy for the eye and, for those who quiver at the sight of the surrealist distortion of bodies, queasiness in the stomach. Hiroshima-born Akikazu Iwamoto, now forty, fills his compact solo show at Stux Gallery with wildly imaginative, candy-colored paintings and drawings that involve amusing and sometimes frightening bodily transformations. The […]

Everybody’s favorite thriving scene of new culture at the fringes of the city now has its own exciting film festival to match. The Bushwick Film Festival is a celebration of the work of independent filmmakers and artists, giving them the opportunity to present their work to a diverse and excitable audience. The festival works to […]

Eric Baudart’s new exhibition More at Galerie Valentin is his fourth at the space and presents a comprehensive view of the artist’s ability to skillfully move between materials and forms with calculated whimsy and aplomb. Each work offers another glimpse into his very personal world, where readymades confront photographic images, where each of the artist’s […]
