An Opening to remember...


Welcoming shot from Richard Cutshall's opening
at the Firehouse Gallery in Grants Pass, OR this past  May


There's something about Richard Cutshall's work that makes viewers want to dig deeper.  His Excavation Show was aptly named, his work seems to unearth something from another time... ...another place. At times drawing people in and at other times visitors seemed to be pushed back by the guttural power of his pieces.


All in all, it was a wonderful opening night.  It was evident that viewers got much more than anticipated when they entered the space; the impact of the work showed on their faces.    While some sat quietly gazing, others clamored to have a chance to ask Richard about his inspiration.
Everyone seemed equally awestruck!








We wish you could have been there to share this incredible event with us…
it was truly a lovely show.

A Sizzling Spectacle


Detail of
Irfan Önürmen 

Panic, 2009 
Newspaper 
Dimensions vary
C24 Gallery, Chelsea


A recent visit to NY proved to be steamy, pungent, and ripe with art...
As a native New Yorker I know that summertime in NY has its' challenges.  The temperatures, moreover the humidity marinates everything (including the garbage) into a sweltering stew... melding things together, but like anything great, there's always a price...
 and the heat and the olfactory assault seems a mere morsel (to pay) for the bounty of high art that fills every nook and cranny.  The artists we saw used materials in such a grounding way; creating  the permanency and timelessness that calls to the soul...

Newspaper

C24 Gallery, Chelsea
The use of newspaper in the above work seems to bring it back home (to the source)...the figure stands like a tree looking back at the work created from its' very being.


Evocative art  abounded in Chelsea galleries...

One of our favorite stops on our trek around Chelsea was at Leo Koenig Inc. where we saw the raw work of Nicole Eisenman and Christopher Astley.  The charming and helpful staff was an added bonus.

Bagliore
by Hector Leonardi
now at Dillon Gallery in Chelsea
Dillon gallery was a breath of fresh air, literally.  They commission a scent artist for every show and Hector Leonardi's show was not only a stunning visual feast, but...
breathtaking, too...a refreshing relief from the heat...like a spa visit (our senses were satiated).

@ the Cheim & Reid Gallery in Chelsea
Cheim and Reid had haunting exhibits that capped off our day.

We visited well over 20 galleries in Chelsea and we still have over 200 to go in Chelsea alone!  It's hard to imagine anything better than art in NY...no matter the time of year...
...it is as good as it gets...
