My Art is in constant motion. It is a motion. My creativity floats and expresses energy and movement. My painting is like a mirror of my Soul. The inspirations come and go, my spirit dances with colors. Where do these images come from? I have no answer. It comes from within, but before the painting comes out of me I feel like a channel. I […]
Sun Up / Sun Down: Judith Hopf at the Deborah Schamoni Gallery
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 […]
David Renggli’s Scaramouche at Kunst Halle Sankt Gallen
The first thing that strikes you upon entering this multi-faceted show by David Renggli (b. 1974 in Zurich) at Kunst Halle Sankt Gallen is one of Renggli’s signature reverse glass paintings in black and white titled I Love You (b/w), 2013. Contrary to the usual colorfulness of the abstract color strokes, the hues in this […]
Eric Baudart at Galerie Valentin
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 […]
Post Mortem Document: Sara MacKillop’s Ex Library Book
Sara MacKillop’s Ex Library Book tells the story of a place of words without using many. Published with Pork Salad Press, this work seems at first to be a random photo collection of stamps and insignificant slips found in any public library book, building up a detailed picture of the public library by showcasing every element […]
David Michael Bowers
Most people create a mask of respectability that other members of society see. These masks might fool the outside viewers and may even fool the individuals who create them. If you rip off the masks, the primal passions that control humans emerge from the deep recesses of our psyche… My paintings reflect my observations of […]

2013 has been the year of the bicycle in New York City, with the city rolling out the country’s largest bike share program and more than 50 miles of new bike lanes. With cycling on the rise in the city, ARTCRANK rolls into town primed to top a 2012 NYC debut that saw a crowd […]
Michael Brown: Schematics and Silhouettes at Mike Weiss Gallery
Artist Michael Brown presents a discourse about the machine, history, and nostalgia in his first solo exhibition at Mike Weiss Gallery. Employing both sculpture and drawing, Schematics and Silhouettes reexamines the relationship between the infinite and the self-contained, with a clear rhetoric pulled from America’s westward expansion, our industrial past, and the conceptual work of […]
Bjorn Copeland at Jack Hanley Gallery
Combing the commercial landscape for product detritus and two-dimensional media, Copeland guts and recombines found materials into psychotropic Pop assemblages. His material gestures range from slight and clever manipulations of image or lettering to jarring repetition of pattern and hyper-saturated color. Leaving the skeletal remains of the commodity form, Copeland reclaims the “potential” of the […]
Rita Koch and Rolf Hunkeler
SüdRose, the South Rose Window of the Cathedral of Chartes (France) was the inspiration for this art work. Limestone from the Swabian Alb was used in combination with colored gemstones. Gemstone ART uses gemstones and minerals to create UNIQUE pieces of art, each incredible and EXCLUSIVE. We incorporate the brilliance, radiance and energy of stones […]
