<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">My first big solo exhibition titled "Not Fade Away" at Buffalo Arts Studio is closing November 9th. The center piece of this show is the interactive paper mache sculpture I created of the Buffalo Central Terminal. This blog focuses on it's construction.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">The exhibition as a whole took me three weeks to set up. The first week I was focused on printing my linoleum blocks of Buffalo Architecture. The next two weeks I built the Buffalo Central Terminal sculpture. The last two days I created the illustration on the wall and hung the artwork.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br style="background-color: white;" /><span style="background-color: white;">Regarding the sculpture I knew I was going to make one of the BCT for a couple months prior to the show. I had made a couple models and created around 150 sketches. It wasn't until three weeks before the exhibit that I had the idea to have people walk through the sculpture. The interior was fascinating to me because there were so many possibilities for what to put inside. In the end I decided to go minimal thereby creating an anti-climactic effect. The unexpected is important in art, and to make the interior of a monumental sculpture quiet, contemplative, and intimate I thought would create enough of a variance to shake up the audience. To further contrast the exterior with the interior the video that I chose to display increased the vulnerability and sentimental aspect of the piece. Anyone can interpret the work of art themselves, the way that I see it is that the video of the young boys from the 1950's playing with their trains represent a kind of inner child of the terminal and/or a loss of innocence... Of a terminal once glorious but now having been used and abused by weather and human hands. Amid the distorted exterior and raw skeletal interior you have at it's core the terminal's vivid imagination and child-like wonder that gave it creation in the first place... In other words deep within the shell of the building exists a soft innocent core that has survived decades of abuse.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">I've been waiting to write this blog for some time. I heard of Banksy several years ago from a friend. Like most people I was pretty freaking amazed by the images I saw of his work online. A couple years ago I watched "Exit Through </span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The Gift Shop"... a kind of documentary, most likely a fake one. And every so often I look up Banksy videos on You Tube to see what he's been up to, especially with his "fine art" exhibitions in gallery spaces and museums.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br style="background-color: white;" /><span style="background-color: white;">As probably many of you know Banksy has been in NYC for the month of October of this year. While visiting New York to straighten out some things with the city I tried to see a few Banksy's before they're all tagged over, washed off, or boarded up. His stay in NYC has been an unwelcoming one... pride and jealousy have overcame local street artists and they haven't spared anytime to piggyback on all the attention he's getting by tagging up their names in attempt to gain some recognition. Oddly, while I was taking some pics of the dog and hydrant stencil (above photo) an older guy came along and started taking cell phone pics... but not because of the Banksy, because of "RD" who tagged the Banksy hydrant. According to this guy "RD" is a legend and has a rep for hitting up hydrants in the city. At first I thought it was a joke, but this older fellow was so genuinely thrilled to see "RD"'s tag that it put a smile on my face as I thought: "this guy's for real yo!".</span><br style="background-color: white;" /><br style="background-color: white;" /><span style="background-color: white;">Here are some thoughts...</span><br style="background-color: white;" /><br style="background-color: white;" /><span style="background-color: white;">1. How the hell has no one taken a photo of Banksy or not come out with his true identity! That's amazing that he's pulled that off! Ok, maybe that pic in Jamaica of a dude cleaning off his stencils is Banksy but its not proven. Check it out </span></span><a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-1034538/Graffiti-artist-Banksy-unmasked---public-schoolboy-middle-class-suburbia.html">http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-1034538/Graffiti-artist-Banksy-unmasked---public-schoolboy-middle-class-suburbia.html</a><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br style="background-color: white;" /><br style="background-color: white;" /><span style="background-color: white;">2. "Banksy" has to be a team of people... In order to not get caught he needs look out guys and also help with some of his stencil work, which can be very complex at times.</span><br style="background-color: white;" /><br style="background-color: white;" /><span style="background-color: white;">3. No doubt Bansky's "fine art" is reminiscent of Warhol and can be linked with "Bad Art" artists like Jeff Koons, The Chapman Brothers, and Paul McCarthy. His gallery work I've never seen in person but I don't like it... Especially his mechanical sculptures...It's manufactured art... Art that he has other people make. What's so attractive about his street art is that it's made by hand yet has mechanical precision... That's why people are awed by it. His "fine art" has no awe and just makes him look wealthy enough to make work expertly fabricated. Check it out </span></span><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XL5Ou5WcGeE">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPxn5-ADFm8</a><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br style="background-color: white;" /><br style="background-color: white;" /><span style="background-color: white;">4. Similarly, Bansky is a conceptual artist. He's a clever chap! Which is why his street art is so effective... He really utilizes the inherent characteristics of his surroundings and transforms them into biting political commentary. He's like an designer, illustrator, or political cartoonist... but again, when he ventures to sculptures and gallery shows his work looses that connection to his immediate surroundings and the audience is left without that transformative experience of space.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">5. Banksy's "fine art" is very funny... that humor is what gives it some interest... at least he doesn't take himself seriously!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">6. Banksy's New York work, coming to a closure this week, is pretty amateurish... at least his stenciling. Those lucky enough to see his Ronald McDonald sculpture and truck "installations" as they drove around the city might have had more of an effect on his audience... but I didn't see any of those pieces. The works that I did see, which I've posted on this blog, I wouldn't have cared about or taken photos of if I didn't know they were Banksys. They were not like the ones I've seen online and I wonder if photographs of his pieces are more interesting than the works themselves... in part because they crop the rest of the busy city context out of the frame. Maybe its just New York, but his pieces had no presence to them... they were swallowed up with all the other </span>graffiti, rubbish, and urban decay that surrounded them.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">7. This is a great link that maps Banksy's artwork across the city: </span><a href="http://www.villagevoice.com/microsites/banksy-nyc/">http://www.villagevoice.com/microsites/banksy-nyc/</a><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Good luck Banksy! I hope to see your work again sometime.</span></div>

<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">How could I resist going to the unveiling of unique art project in Buffalo, NY Friday night. The Burchfield Penny Art Center at SUNY Buffalo State turned on "the world's first permanent, environmentally-responsive, 24/7/365, outdoor new media gallery" forever. The three projection towers are the real attraction... the audio and video are icing on the cup cake.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">According to Art Voice...</span><br />
<div style="line-height: 19px; text-align: justify;">
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The Burchfield Penney is billing the Front Yard as “the world’s first permanent, environmentally-responsive, 24/7/365, outdoor new media gallery,” and indeed it is unique: In addition to the fact that it will permanently transform the long, gray wall of the center facing Elmwood into a projection surface, sensors on a weather tower will read environmental conditions—temperature, humidity, wind speed and direction, precipitation—and summon corresponding images and sounds. This sensitivity to weather is an homage to Charles Burchfield, the center’s namesake, whose work dealt extensively with changes in seasons and climate.</span></blockquote>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 19px; text-align: justify;">
<blockquote>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">But what makes this installation even more unusual in art world is that it is both an art project itself and a permanent, changeable tool with which other artists can work.</span></blockquote>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 19px; text-align: justify;">
<blockquote>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">“The openhandedness of what Brian and Brad have done, the generosity of it, is unique,” says Anthony Bannon, the Burchfield Penney’s executive director, in describing the project, which is a collaboration between architect Brad Wales and his Small Built Projects class at the University at Buffalo and video artist Brian Milbrand, who is technical director for Buffalo State College’s Communications Department. “Their art is to create the means for others to make art.</span></blockquote>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 19px; text-align: justify;">
<blockquote>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">“Essentially what we’ve done is to build a system for the algorithm that becomes an artist’s pallette.”</span></blockquote>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">According to the Buffalo News...</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222; line-height: 22px;"></span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">And after the sky turns dark enough, an ever-evolving series of videos will flicker across the building, inevitably prompting drivers to slow to a crawl along the busy avenue and scratch their heads over some snippet of beauty or visual noise they would never otherwise have seen.</span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The videos thrown up on the center’s wall will range, as they did on the installation’s opening night, from the pioneering work of Buffalo’s much-ballyhooed media art movement of the 1970s to new video and sound works from local contemporary artists.</span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">As the sun rises each morning, the Burchfield’s facade will return to normal, but a powerful 6.1-channel surround sound system will run all day, every day, featuring a rotating series of work by sound artists that will also respond to environmental changes.</span></blockquote>

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Born in Buffalo, New York, LeRoi C. Johnson was raised a catholic in an eastside project in Buffalo, New York and later became a prominent Buffalo attorney. He is a Canisius College graduate, attended the University at Buffalo School of Architecture and Design and is a graduate of Georgetown University Law Center.</span></blockquote>
<blockquote>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">LeRoi is a remarkable painter. He is almost completely self-taught. His early bright colorful work is implicitly autobiographical in theme. Among his influences are his training in commercial art and his sophisticated African Art Collection of thirty years. He successfully fuses geometric abstraction with both his personal experiences and African themes. Lately his style has altered; it has become less geometric and more representational of his human experience, especially as an African American. He is now less personal and more antidotal.</span></blockquote>
<div class="yiv7891124397MsoNormal" id="yui_3_13_0_rc_1_1_1381587281144_2228" style="line-height: 24px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Here are some thoughts...</span></div>

<ul>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">His work seems to fit into three categories… personal, decorative, and commercial. I favor his personal works.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The pieces that are most successful are those that keep to a traditional kind of format... his cubist and surreal paintings seem less authentic and lacking in substance... in other words, the simpler the painting the better, ie. the basketball players, the naked African woman supposedly leaving her husband and home, and the man at the train station</span></li>

I visited this new park off of route 5 going south the other day. I was really impressed. I didn't think I write a blog about this patch of grass and sand before I got there... but I think it deserves some recognition. <br />
<br />
Some thoughts...<br />
<br />
The kinetic wind sculptures are so beautiful and mesmerizing. I don't know if this is standard for wind sculptures but I've been to many parks and never seen any quite like this<br />
<br />

If you know who made these let me know please<br />
<br />
The design of these wonderful and imaginative structures is minimal... nothing fancy about them... they just move in interesting ways and their simplicity of construction and design is so elegant that those qualities alone are enough to attract and excite the viewer/park-goer<br />
<br />
Of course I couldn't help myself taking a few pictures of those cool looking trash cans and slides. The view of the city from that location is interesting too... the grain elevators and skyway are front and center and the City Hall appears peaking over a few smaller buildings giving it an odd skinny kind of look<br />

We both have our studios at Buffalo Arts Studio in the TriMain Center. A few reasons why I like Bill so much... he's got a killer hat, he loves Jazz, and he's learning to play the Blues (I guess he reminds me of myself a bit). I checked out his solo show of paintings at Niagara County Community College. <br />
<br />
Here are some thoughts...<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>In my opinion his most exciting work blurs representation with abstraction in a rhythmic explosion of organic shapes and psychedelic weaving</li>
<li>I prefer his "all over" compositions to ones with a clearly defined figure and ground composition</li>
<li>His work is an interesting pairing of a cartoon/flatness quality and afro-centric influence</li>
</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here is Bill's bio from www.buffaloartsstudio.org/WilliamYCooper.html...</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I apologize for not having wrote a blog in a month. I've been working tirelessly on my solo show that opened this past Saturday. Now that I have some time I'm going to be catching up and writing about some shows that I've seen in the past few weeks. Anyway, on Saturday September 7th I visited the Echo Art Fair in downtown Buffalo, NY at the Central Library. Here are some thoughts...<br /></span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #262626; line-height: 25px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><ul>
<li>This was the best art fair I've been to because the art was was not crafty or pretentious, nor was it too out of date or too pushing the boundaries... it was diverse and of high quality... Boom. Also, the fair was busy but not over crowded, in a great space, and I thought there was an excellent mix of galleries and individual artists represented.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Artists work that caught my attention were: Joe Bochynski, Rich Tomasello, Catherine Koenig, Gigi Gatewood, Jan Nagle, Heidi Leverty, Julian Montague, Peter Stephens, and Katherine Sehr</li>
</ul>

</tbody></table>
<ul>
<li>Pieces that were especially unique were the veteran Buffalo artist Charles Clough's 100 person painting, Shasti O'Leary Soudant's light installation, and Liz Rywelsk exciting and original performance piece in which you walk into a sort of "store" or seller booth and are approached by people dressed in white asking what you want... I told them I want "Carman" and they wrote me up a receipt for her... a neat idea as a way to get a free "work of art" during a visit</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Can't wait to have my shot at being in the fair next year.</li>

CITY of NIGHT is an annual, multi-disciplinary event, this year held on August 17th. Key themes include art, history, culture and sustainability. The "Silo City" complex of grain elevators plays host on the Buffalo River, which sets the historical tone and informs the art installations, musical performances, fine art fair, and site tours. City of Night represents Buffalo's incredibly diverse cultural scene with a wide variety of music, dance, sound installation, fashion, and a community art project for all to engage in. We strive to become an ever more eco-conscious event, with local environmental non-profits represented, we encourage recycling and composting, and solar-powered energy! Food truck delights, beverages and CITY of NIGHT-themed merchandise will be available for purchase. The event is free to attend and open to people of all ages and backgrounds. Proceeds benefit the coordinating organization, the Emerging Leaders in the Arts Buffalo (ELAB), a chapter of Americans for the Arts</div>

Here are some thoughts...</div>

<li>How in the world did the organizers, Dana Saylor (events-coordinator), Marcus L. Wise (president of ELAB), Marissa Lehner (coordinator of site-specific installations), Tara Sasiadek (vice-president of ELAB), Leslie Fineberg, John Furman, and other members of the Emerging Leaders in the Arts in Buffalo (<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Enriqueta, serif; line-height: 18px;"><a dataquery="#Linkq5l" href="http://www.ELABuffalo.com/" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; cursor: pointer; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;">www.ELABuffalo.com</span></a></span>), cut through all the red tape and turn this industrial site into a massive art and music party? The fact that this event even took place was a huge success.</li>
<li>There was a great variety of art, from stark minimalism to blacklight velvet paintings. Somehow the three hundred foot high, million tons of concrete, held it all together.</li>
<li>For the size of the event and all its component parts (art performances, installations, craft booths, music stage, beer/wine tents, food trucks, merchandise tables, porta-potties, parking, bike racks, garbage, recycling) the event was smooth riding and coordinated.</li>
<li>Not all the art was mind-blowing work but I don't think that wasn't the point... the event showcased a range of artists from the community, high-brow and low-brow without discrimination.</li>
<li>Observation: for a city composed 40% of African American and 10% Latino, those groups were largely absent from the event. One of the questions for next year should be how to attract this other half of the city. I know the organizers worked hard to provide transportation not to mention that the event was free admission too... maybe a wider array of music might help... the inclusion of hip-hop artists for instance might attract a different scene?</li>
<li>Perhaps it was just me, but I had a hard time finding out what artists did what. Maybe a detailed flyer (separate from the map of the event) indicating each room/section of the interiors and labeling the title of work and artist would suffice... it could even include info about the art and artist as a kind of brochure.</li>
<li>You could've gone just for the music, food, and beer and had an amazing time... but without a doubt the star of the show was the Marine A installations. In a sense the artists that exhibited or performed in these spaces didn't have to do much to create an awe-inspiring experience because standing inside the 300 foot or so silos was an experience in itself. Kisha Patterson-Tanski and Ron Shaw's balloon installation was my pick for the show... who would've thought that throwing lit up balloons propelled by industrial fans to the top of the silo would be so exciting and mind blowing (see video below)! Daniel Seiders' massive lit up gears suspended from the ceiling of another silo created not only a thematically appropriate subject matter but also created an amazing visual effect. And Steve Baczkowski's unconventional solo sax playing in yet another silo was all that was needed to transport your imagination to somewhere far far away (see video below).</li>

I am very happy to announce that from September 14th - November 9th at Buffalo Arts Studio (<a href="http://buffaloartsstudio.org/">http://buffaloartsstudio.org/</a>) I am having my first gallery solo show. But it gets better... I'm having it adjacent to the solo show of my new favorite artist: Leif Low-Beer. I will be exhibiting an assortment of oil paintings, acrylic paintings, and mixed media drawings along side my Buffalo architecture prints and monumental Central Terminal sculpture made of wood and cardboard (yet to be created). During the exhibition's opening I've invited Marilyn Rodgers of the Central Terminal Restoration Corporation and Jason Wilson of Preservation Buffalo Niagara to speak about the importance to preserving the terminal and Trico (a building currently in danger of being demolished). I will be also be speaking about my paintings, drawings, prints, and sculpture during the opening following Leif's talk which begins at 7:30pm. And to top it all off my band The Fusioneers (at least Kengo [sax] and myself [guitar]) will be performing from around 8:30pm to 10pm. Lastly, beginning in October in conjunction with BAS I will be offering a 4 day workshop where I will bring students to the Central Terminal to draw and paint it's interior... I hope you'll join us!</div>

Below is information on the show and artists, as well as images of my new Buffalo architecture prints and some of Low-Beer's work from his website <a href="http://leiflow-beer.com/">http://leiflow-beer.com</a>. Also, I have updated my website with the prints <a href="http://www.danielgalas.com/">www.danielgalas.com</a> and they are available for purchase at <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/BuffaloPrints">www.etsy.com/shop/BuffaloPrints</a>. Lastly, I should mention that last week I moved back to Buffalo, NY and as consequence will primarily be blogging about galleries, museums, art fairs... etc. in the Western New York area and Toronto. Adios Hudson River Valley and New York City!</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">When I first experienced a James Turrell exhibition in Chelsea in 2004 it captured my imagination immediately. I'd never experienced anything like it, so when I heard of his show at the Guggenheim I hit it up. If you are a New Yorker you have no excuse, you must go and see this for yourself even if you know nothing about contemporary art. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />

His terrific blend of aesthetic and science creates art that is similar to the beauty and power of the natural world. Just like Andrew Goldsworthy, James Turrell has an incredible talent for making art that is selfless and profound, simple and awesome.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The main attraction of this exhibition is his Aten Reign. It's a surreal experience especially if you're familiar with the interior of the Guggenheim. At once he both desecrates the architecture and honors it. This tunnel of light completely alters the interior yet adroitly reflects it's unique form... It's kind of like he destroyed the space in a kind of sacrifice only to re-create it in a purer form of its original self. As a side note, while gazing upward at the changing light I couldn't help but to think of Georgia O'Keeffe's abstract flower paintings...</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The other works that James Turrell is showing at the Guggenheim are very special. His drawings possess an inner glow that I've never seen before, his projected rectangles of light are striking in their simplicity and the illusion of space they manifest, and in darkness the rectangular cutout in the wall of the upper gallery recalls to mind the starkness and ascetic space of the The Rothko Chapel. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">His work at the Guggenheim is sublime, conceptual, challenging, and diverse. Go experience it!</span><br />

I went for a visit to Wave Hill on one of their "Summer Wednesdays" in order to cool down from the intense heat of the city. There, I visited "Bronx Calling: The Second AIM Biennial" at their terrific Glyndor Gallery. One artist caught my attention above the rest... Andrea Wolf. She had four pieces being shown there... each one slightly different from the next. They all were small scale and composed of video projection onto flat rectangular surfaces. The videos from each were "unextraordinary" as if random uninteresting snippets were selected from your parents Super 8 footage of a trip they took 40 years earlier. But there was an undeniable charm to these four pieces. They were nostalgic, curious, and entertaining. Not to mention that each was created with great care and craftsmanship... especially the tiny video projectors that jutted out from the wall which oddly added to the interest of the work as if they were intended to be sculptural components.</div>

I found Andrea Wolf's website and thought that I might share the link with all of you <a href="http://memoryframes.org/andreawolf/">http://memoryframes.org/andreawolf/</a>. Take your time exploring her wide range of work. The first three images below were taken at Wave Hill, while the rest of the images were selected off of her website.</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Well, I just had to do it. I've known about Paul McCarthy's work for some time but never made it to any of this shows. I pretty much hatted his work before I stepped into </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Hauser</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> and </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Wirth</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">, and I still more or less hate it after I've seen his nasty art in person. But as always when you experience something first hand you take away with you more than if you just read about it in a magazine or saw a clip of it on-line. I have to admit that McCarthy has won my respect as an artist even though this exhibition made me want to puke. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">In a nutshell his show will leave you with a taste in your mouth probably not dissimilar to anal discharge. If you want to spend your afternoon feeling as if you just licked a McDonald's toilet bowl in Tijuana after two gay men rammed each other up the ass then you'll love Paul and Damon McCarthy's "Rebel Dabble Babble" at Hauser and Wirth. It's a multimedia spectacle of incest... Complete with brother/sister blowjobs, intercourse, bitch slapping, incessant cursing, old man asshole, husband/daughter humping, and repulsive gooey yellow fluids. For how completely disgusting this show is, dare i say it is done with artistry and thoughtfulness. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">According to the Hauser and Wirth website...</span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
‘Rebel Dabble Babble’ is a large and complex installation and video projection work originally inspired by both Nicholas Ray’s 1955 classic Hollywood film ‘Rebel Without a Cause’ and the furious rumors that swirled around the off-set relationships between its director and his stars James Dean, Natalie Wood, and Sal Mineo. This densely layered opus confronts definitions of power and role-playing, and expands far beyond the ’50s movie and related legends. Ultimately, ‘Rebel Dabble Babble’ is a meditation upon the archetypes and Oedipal tensions that define family dynamics as they have been played out in private homes, in the evolution of art history, and in the role of the entertainment industry in shaping our expectations and self-images. </blockquote>

And that's precisely why his work is so controversial and powerful... because Mr. McCarthy is one hell of a creepy guy, so much so that to even go to one of his exhibitions you feel as though you're participating in an act of abomination. </span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #454545; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">So much art exhibited in galleries and museums across the globe asserts the individual and the power of the ego. I think this is a good thing considering that our everyday lives in society cannot always accommodate the individual's eccentric and sacred self expression. But in the art world where the status quo is exactly that, it is rare to find art that transcends the individual consciousness and touches upon something greater... more graceful and meditative than the self. Andy Goldsworthy is one such artist of this type among others like James Turrell, who is now showing at the Guggenheim.<br /><br />Andy Goldsworthy's "Storm King Wall" and "Five Men, Seventeen Days, Fifteen Boulders, One Wall" at Storm King is a masterpiece. Being outside viewing art seems so natural... and when you're out there in the midst of it all it feels like the obvious context for experiencing it... I think it's interesting we've become so accustomed to looking at art in white walled cubes that outdoors seems like a treat. He has two wall pieces there that were constructed 10 years apart from one another. I'm not sure if they connect, but the both of them together dodge trees, boulders, go up and down hills, into bodies of water, across flat ground, and end at a highway. I fell in love with this simple and yet very complex take of his on the traditional stone walls that you find up and down the Hudson River Valley region. It's interesting that for every natural feature it dodges or crosses or scales it gives life and recognition to those features that you might otherwise be only slightly aware of. If you're in NYC take a trip up river and experience this fabulous park and work of art.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">To commemorate the beginning of the summer season I put together an edited list containing art venues within driving distance or a train ride from New York City along the Hudson River. Most of these are my personal favorites, although only one I have not yet made it too (HVCCA). <b>The list is in order from closest to Manhattan to Beacon, NY</b>. Here is a link to a google map I made showing these locations... </span>http://goo.gl/maps/ucwpy<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">. </span><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">If you had to choose only a couple of places to visit, go and experience Dia:Beacon and the town of Beacon (easily accessible by Metro-North) and Storm King Sculpture Park (expect to be there all day). </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #454545; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1372005450_0">I had to catch a glimpse of Jeff Koons' "N</span>ew P<span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1372005450_1">aintings</span> and Sculpture" at Gagosian Gallery in New York before it closes July 3rd. The first thought that came into my head being at this exhibition standing in front of Koons' paintings was: what am I doing here? What would my old painting professor from <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1372005450_2">SUNY Fredonia</span> think if a student created these paintings? The student would surely have had to have a damn good explanation at the very least. Only an artist like Jeff Koons, whose work is highly sought after and sells for millions, could create work like this and show it at the most famous gallery in the world. So whats the deal? Am I missing something about this series of "Antiquity" paintings? Or is this just another example of the power of suggestion and the backwardness of the art world.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #454545; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #454545; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">I am reminded of art critics Jerry Saltz and Roberta Smith who choose to collect affordable artwork from flea markets and garage sales instead of paying thousands for art exhibited in galleries. I also think of children's artwork... wonderful drawings and paintings from six and seven-year-olds that I would love to be the proud owner of. There is something interesting…Koons' "Antiquity" paintings would not gain even a fraction of a fraction of a percent of the attention they are currently gaining if they were made by a student or emerging artist. In other words, if Michelangelo's David was created by a student at SUNY Fredonia the work of art would be celebrated equally as much as it has been coming from the hands of Michelangelo himself. On the other hand if the antiquity paintings were found in a students studio at SUNY Fredonia it would gain no recognition whatsoever. What does all of this tell us? The artist's name is a brand and art is no longer solely valued according to technical skill or sublimity.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #454545; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><br />I now understand that the reason why I came to see this exhibition was to question art. Is this the true function behind Jeff Koons' work... To force us to question our conception of what is and is not fine art? It would be easy to either hail him or detest him. His work is to be reacted to... thought about, talked about, argued about. After all isn't that the artists job in contemporary society? </span></div>

His bronze hulk, granite gorilla, and stainless steel ballon sculptures are mesmerizing because of their optical illusion, size, and quirky pop culture imagery.</span></span></div>

I had just finished checking out the exhibition titled "The First 15" and was exiting the museum when i suddenly caught a glimpse of Corita's art beaming from a high ceiling gallery. "Someday Is Now: The Art of Corita Kent" is on view till July 28, 2013. If you're in the area go and see it.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #454545; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #454545; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #454545; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Her art looks like it's been made in single spontaneous moment by a flash of inspired creativity, or by consequence of experimentation. The process reminds me of Basquiat's, Joe Bradley's, or Matisse's... a process that reinforces the idea of the artist as a vessel. Her work is so lively, consistent yet varied, and prolific that this exhibition really highlights the spirit behind her art... in other words, the focus is more on her, the artistic force, than any pieces individually. And that is expressive of how the show is presented... clusters of prints hung salon style up and down the high gallery walls instead of being spaced out one at a time parallel to the floor.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #454545; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #454545; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #454545; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Corita's choice of printmaking has an aesthetic appeal and social purpose. She hits both dead on. The flat brightly colored shapes and graphic text that make up her jazzy compositions is a style in such harmony with the medium that its indistinguishable which came first... the visual style necessitated the medium or the medium necessitated the visual style. Socially, she preferred art that people could afford and experience in places outside of the gallery. According to the Tang museum... "For Corita, printmaking was a populist medium to communicate with the world around her, and her designs were widely disseminated through billboards, book jackets, illustrations, posters, gift cards, and T-shirts."</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #454545; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #454545; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #454545; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">So who was Corita? According to the Tang Museum website...</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #454545; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><br /></span><br />

A teacher at Immaculate Heart College in Los Angeles and a civil rights, feminist, and anti-war activist, Corita, as she is commonly referred to, was one of the most popular American graphic artists of the 1960s and ’70s. Throughout her rich and varied career, she made thousands of posters, murals, and signature serigraphs that combine her passions for faith and politics. Reflecting larger questions and concerns of the 1960s, her images remain iconic symbols of that turbulent time. Corita’s earnest, collaborative approach to art-making—combining faith, politics, and teaching with messages of acceptance and hope—continues to be a potent influence for many artists working today.<br /><br />[...] she developed her hallmark mixture of bold, bright imagery and provocative texts that she extracted from a range of cultural sources, including: advertising slogans; street and grocery store signage; poetry; scripture; newspapers and magazines; philosophy; theological criticism; and song lyrics.

The last image I have here is of her last series. According to a description on the gallery wall at the exhibition... "Corita's move to Boston led to a distinct change in the style of her work. Suddenly living on her own, without constant interaction with sisters and students, she shifted away from an art of direct social engagement, toward quieter, more introspective statements. Although still politically engaged, her art grew more contemplative, and personal. [...] In the early 1980's she began to paint watercolors outdoors throughout New England. Corita relished the immediacy of watercolor in contrast with the complex processes of printmaking. Her last major series, the watercolors represent the final solitary phase of her lifelong engagement with the world."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
What a fascinating shift from the colorful, lively, and bold graphics of her prints to these subdued and simple watercolors. There is some wonderful kind of Truth in these modest, curious, and completely unselfconscious pieces. To me, this series is like discovering a recording of Jimi Hendrix playing the blues on an acoustic guitar... there is something so personal and revealing about art like this that it almost seems to carry more emotional weight than the experimental eye catching works we normally associate with Corita.</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #454545; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">The other day I visited Gavin Brown's enterprise to see Joe Bradley's exhibition titled Lotus Beaters. Upon walking in the entrance to the gallery four beautiful large abstract paintings welcome the viewer. These four are the best works in the show... and they are terrific! His work obviously references abstract expressionism, but his way of handling paint, blocky compositions, and use of large swaths of negative space make him stand apart. According to Frieze Art Fair, "he makes paintings resembling human figures from assembled canvases which reference Color Field painting and Minimalism. A</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #454545; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">nother thought that had occurred to me while in the presence of these richly textured and layered works Is that they have a look to them as if Basquiat had painted abstractions. These four especially possess the same energy, intensity, carelessness, and non-attachment as Basquiat's paintings do, minus the stream of conscious visual rap of words and images. </span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #454545; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I also think Joe Bradley's paintings look like large drawings, although they have no similarities to his actual drawings, which I am not interested in. In every painting he intentionally leaves the unprimed canvas showing through, untouched by painterly brush strokes but often full of accidental but welcome drips and foot prints. To me the naked canvas reminds me of blank white paper and the drips remind me of pencil or charcoal smudges. </div>

Apparently in the ceramics community she is known for her experimentations with salt glazing and carbonized clay. But what I love about her sculpture aside from technique is the stripped down simple forms that do not <i>represent </i>nature but have a feeling of <i>being</i> nature. The Executive Director at Old Church, Maria Danziger, describes her work as, "although very traditional in execution and technique, Zakin's work is radical in its scope and breadth. Many of the works are so complete in their formal and conceptual qualities they seem to have been created effortlessly. [...] Her work brings forth the prehistoric, the modern, and future times to come, sometimes all in one sculpture." She goes on to say that her works are "bold and fully articulate, yet tempered with subtlety and nuance."</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">What I like about Mikhail's ceramics that they aren't trying to impress the viewer or awe the audience... there is a lack of self-consciousness. These sculptures are what they are and you can tell that she was fully engaged in the process of creating them, and loved every minute of it. I don't know much about the history of ceramics but they seem to belong not to the Modern nor Prehistoric eras... they instead seem to come from a time and place that has always existed and will continue to always exist. I remember reading about Henry Moore one time and thought it was interesting how the author described his work as not really belonging to any particular group of artists or trend... he was kind of on his own, doing what he does... that was that. I feel the same way about Mikhail's work.</span></div>

On Mother's Day I took my wife and two sons to the Union Church of Pocantico Hills in Westchester. Matisse's supposed last work is in this modest church: a stained glass window above the chancel commissioned by the Rockefeller Family. The Matisse "Rose Window" was created in memory of Abby Aldrich and dedicated to her on Mother's Day in 1956, two years after a maquette was found in Matisse's studio at the time of his death... he had finished the piece just two days prior to dying.</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
But this isn't the only stained glass window in the church that was created by a modern master... Marc Chagall in 1964 created a large window inspired by the parable of the Good Samaritan in the rear of the church and two years later finished another eight side windows depicting prophets.</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
While Matisse's "Rose Window" reflects the paper cut-outs he had worked on during the last phase of his career and was replicated in stained glass by a master craftsman, Marc Chagall's windows have the touch of the artist's hand. According to the Union Church brochure...</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Like Matisse, Chagall uses colored glass, but it is glass which has been etched with acid to create gradations of color within each piece. Once the pieces are assembled, Chagall paints on it as if pinging on a canvas. Using a black glass paint called grisaille, he creates the details in the figures and mitigates the light. Chagall adjusts and manipulates the grisaille with brushes, brush handles, metal instruments, and even his fingers. Lastly, he brushes on a yellow silver stain to give the windows their final sparks of color.</blockquote>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #454545; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">Before her show at Gavin Brown closed I decided to check it out. Her work has always been somewhat of a mystery to me. I never understood why her paintings are so sought-after in the art world... she paints photographs of celebrities... so what!<br /><br />Until this show I have only seen her works in person once or twice and I have never seen more than two at a time. Viewing her paintings and drawings at Gavin Brown, I have a slightly better understanding of why her work gains so much attention. For one thing, her art is authentic… there is nothing gimmicky about it, and to me, authenticity is certainly what matters most in the evaluation or assessment of art. Her fresh, light, delicate brushwork of translucent strokes, and pastel colors makes her work unique and charming. Those qualities alone make her exhibitions worth going to. But does that explain why she is one of the most successful painters working today? But then again I think it is rare in the art world for artists to gain recognition based solely on their art.<br /><br />Getting slightly off topic, let me use this opportunity to explain my criticism of artwork on this blog; I've been a bit more harsh on Elizabeth Peyton than I normally am regarding the art I post and if any of you are wondering why I'll explain. Generally I assess artwork according to three types of artists: the outsider artist, the emerging artist, and the established/blue chip artist.<br /><br />Outsider artists are tricky to critique because of this one essential question: Is the naïve/primitive style deliberate or because of lack of technical skill? In other words, do they know what they are doing, or are they just doing what they do? A follow up question to that would be: does it matter if their style of art is deliberate or not?<br /><br />I tend to critique the work of emerging artists with a smile, encouragement, and a feeling of camaraderie. These are the types of people that I feature most on this blog, and they are the ones that I'm most likely to become friends with and read my posts.<br /><br />On the other hand, when I review the art of established artist I can't help but to do so with an extra critical eye. I suppose I react this way because they are an easy target being at the top of their profession and because there is a grain of jealousy on my part; What makes their art so special that they are able to gain recognition and I'm still working multiple jobs with my art in piles in my garage? I know that that perspective is immature and negative, but I think a lot of artists feel like that sometimes. Anyway, I try to keep it all in perspective... after all, if an artist is making work with the expectation of gaining recognition and achieving monetary success they are in the wrong line of work.<br /><br />Lastly, this is a good description of Elizabeth Peyton's art that I found on Wikipedia...</span></span></span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">"Her paintings are characterized by elongated, slender figures with androgynous features. Sexually ambiguous, feminine qualities are regularly emphasised. Her work at times resembles fashion illustration. [...] </span> </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">In her paintings, Peyton hardly ever depicts these often young artists and musicians standing, and she never visually associates them with an activity like making art or music; instead, they are portrayed sleeping, reclining, or sitting."</span></blockquote>

I went with a group of students from the school I teach at. His workspace is situated directly across the street from his house along a winding hilly road. The exterior of his studio is covered with rusty old objects like gears, tools, and wheels. Part of his studio was open to the elements and only had a roof overhead shielding his collection of stuff. There he had shelves and shelves of random small objects, large heavy objects, works in progress, and some large machinery. The inside of his studio, where he does most of his work, had a similar look of "controlled chaos" (a trait common to most artist's studios).</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #454545; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #454545; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #454545; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #454545; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Eric showed my students and I finished works of his that ranged from his days as a student to pieces that he had only recently completed. There were other pieces that he shared with us that he was in the process of repairing or completing for other people, and commissioned projects. All in all, there was artwork and tools in every nook and cranny of his workspace.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #454545; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #454545; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #454545; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Not every sculpture of his that I had seen resonated with me, but there were several that I loved. One quality that makes Eric such a unique artist is that he makes both refined, polished, planned pieces, and crude, scrap metal pieces that are spontaneously created. I preferred the crude to the polished. I enjoyed his little rusty wall pieces, that looked like sculptural collages. I found of interest his freestanding works that combined steel with rock and wood. I was inspired by his works that reflected forms from nature. And I loved his three tortured and timeworn looking figurative sculptures. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #454545; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #454545; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #454545; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #454545; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Eric also spoke to my students about art and how it relates to life. He had only wisdom to offer them. What follows is what he said put into my own words...</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #454545; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #454545; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><br /></span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #454545; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Trying to be original is of no use because everything has already been done. However, when you accept yourself and create art authentically without desire to please others, your work naturally becomes original and something in it becomes new.</span> </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #454545; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">When you are creating art do not focus on the end result because then you will only enjoy 10% of the process. You have to find a way to enjoy every step of the way, even when that encompasses the sweeping of your studio floor and the cleaning of your work table. Be present in every moment and then you will live a happy life.</span> </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #454545; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Don't allow a work of art that you are creating become precious to you. When that happens you are less likely to take risks, and risk-taking is what art is all about.</span></blockquote>

It's remarkable. I had always been familiar with Claes Oldenburg's monumental sculpture of every day objects, but I knew nothing of his folky, smaller and more intimate early work. I was struck at how primitive his "The Street" series of cardboard sculptures were in comparison to his machine made mega-works. He was obviously influenced by the raw expression of outsider art and Jean Dubuffet. But the sculptures of his that really turned me on were his plaster soaked muslin over wire pieces from his "The Store" series. I fell in love with his "Men's Jacket with Suit and Tie", "Green Lady Shoes", "U.S.A. Flag", "Blue Pants Over Chair", and "White Gym Shoes". They're modest objects made into semi-abstract, chunky, durable, forms. Furthermore, these particular works aren't too silly, like his sundae or hamburger sculptures are... I find those works to be more on the Pop Art spectrum (which I am not naturally drawn to) than the Folk Art spectrum.</span></span><br />

This exhibition examines the beginnings of Oldenburg’s extraordinary career with an in-depth look at his first two major bodies of work: The Street (1960) and The Store (1961–64). During this intensely productive period Oldenburg redefined the relationship between painting and sculpture and between subject and form. The Street comprises objects made from cardboard, burlap, and newspaper that together create an immersive panorama of a gritty and bustling city. The Store features brightly painted sculptures and sculptural reliefs shaped to evoke commercial products and comestibles. In The Store, cigarettes, lingerie, and hamburgers all become viable subjects for art."</span></blockquote>

I visited Philly for the first time a few weeks ago. I really love the city... it seems like the perfect place for an artist to call home. It's inexpensive, full of young people, good public transportation, and the city center is intimate like a European city with old narrow brick streets. <br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirPiGCb4351piyTEVle7X4fYGq-dEKImV569YQIRaaszSX3wv8ieAHu05vWVpDEzbQZGu2nh_yi4bdwoWRWskEiRbonFfi0dYZyD8Htge9kFUq4d5bGhtVPkVQ9JeJ-f63vKWF8WESFoAc/s1600/IMG_3109.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirPiGCb4351piyTEVle7X4fYGq-dEKImV569YQIRaaszSX3wv8ieAHu05vWVpDEzbQZGu2nh_yi4bdwoWRWskEiRbonFfi0dYZyD8Htge9kFUq4d5bGhtVPkVQ9JeJ-f63vKWF8WESFoAc/s320/IMG_3109.JPG" width="320" /></a>While I was in town I decided to meet up with my newest artist friend Aubrey Levinthal. I stopped by her studio and was introduced to her friend whom Aubrey is planning a two person painting exhibition with: Lauren Garvey. The three of us drank coffee and reminisced about art school and all it's lousy jargon. The both of them attended Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia for their MFA's and graduated a few years ago. According to them, it's a small school with a supportive faculty and a range of student work from representational to conceptual.<br />
<br />
Now to Aubrey's work. The descriptive words that come to mind immediately are soft, atmospheric, and flattened form; I think her work is an excellent example of painting that toes the line between two dimensionality and three dimensionality. She varies brushwork, prefers pastel colors, and is not afraid to boldly interpret in subject. Aubrey primarily works from life but doesn't hesitate to alter the composition in any imaginative manner she finds fit. Still life is her subject of choice... mainly cups, tabletops, and food. I love her compositions, the confident loose brushwork, her focus on soft light and atmosphere, the melting of representation into abstraction, and her hints of naive/primitive articulation of form.<br />
<br />
According to Aubrey herself...<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
On my favorite days, reality mixes freely with a little whimsy; patterns separate themselves from their fabric homes and no one questions the flowers when they levitate off the dinner table. Most times though, when I stay with those thoughts, it becomes unnerving. Things begin to change shape and anxiety pushes reverie to the periphery. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Painting scenes from my life and memory, I slowly uncover forms, shadows and relationships not initially remembered. The unsettling air in the paint begins to contradict the nameable world of flowers, bowls and coffee cups. The paintings’ apparent delight quietly unravels into colored aberration, illusions into brushed marks.</blockquote>
<br />
Aubrey also operates a blog. Her "Sunday Pick" always features terrific painters that resonate with her interest in still life, composition, color, and abstraction. Visit her website at www.aubreylevinthal.com and check it out.<br />
