Zoi Gaitanidou’s Risk Aversion at Scaramouche
Zoi Gaitanidou’s work is a complex mixture of painting and embroidery. Originally trained as a painter, Gaitanidou creates her works on both a microscopic and macroscopic level constantly zooming in to sew each detail and stepping away to view the entire composition. She uses color as a tool in her recurring alternation between abstraction and […]

Ben Pritchard on James Cullinane: Into a Place Beyond
It is always a joy to see an exhibition that immediately establishes a specific intention. It is even more enjoyable when the artist goes about exploring and developing this intention and pushes a way of working into a place beyond an initial thematic logic, into something or somewhere else. James Cullinane’s show Limbus at Robert […]
Sculptural Kudzu: Randy Wray as Interviewed by Kris Scheifele
Kris Scheifele: To call you a multimedia artist is an understatement. Online photos don’t do justice to how intentionally dense your work is, not only in the breadth and depth of your materials and techniques, but also in the way your practice is a kind of cannibalized familial gene pool. For instance, your paintings have […]
Paul Black talks Voyeurism and Mortality with Justin Mortimer
Justin Mortimer’s paintings reverberate with a fore-knowledge of Baconian flesh and torpor, and that quintessential Freudian cogency and mass that forever changed the idealistic template of the figure in painting into an expression of a post-God mortality. For both twentieth century artists, a delicious glut of adjectives are to be found, as there are when […]

My art is relational. I have always been fascinated by creation myths and I perceive the universe as having evolved from one catastrophic event. From one point, everything emerges, with the best scenarios trying to rush to completion. I’m drawn to experimenting with combinations of elements, sometimes alluding to air, earth, fire, and water. I […]

My abstract works arise powerful and expressive in thoughtless painting. The perspective of my mosaic-type arrangement of shapes imparts depth to the paintings and draws the eye to the very center of the picture. These windows seem to keep gloomy secrets. kunstmalerei-schulz.de
Daniel Subkoff at James Fuentes
With raw materials such as canvas, smoke, and tarnished metal, Subkoff alludes to developments as disparate as Cave Painting and Arte Povera while embedding it in a more contemporary dialectic. Daniel Subkoff August 1 – September 8, 2013 James Fuentes Gallery 55 Delancey Street jamesfuentes.com

For more than 25 years, my life has been filled with graffiti and street-art, which should brighten up the public areas and beautify grey walls. To follow my passion, I need some spray-cans and a piece of wall or canvas. My work connects figurative characters with detailed graphic elements in the background. The longer you look at one […]
