Opening tonight, October 20th, at the Joshua Liner Gallery in New York is a duo show from two outstanding artists: Chloe Earley with Feathers and Wax and Ryan McLennan with his show Abominations. In Chloe Earley’s show she is focused on the idea of flight, with the figures in the work caught in a state of suspension, they are not falling or rising. I like the idea that while the figures are suspended in motion, the brush-work and energetic splashes of color that mark Chloe’s style give a sense of movement to the paintings. Each piece is dripping with color, well balanced, and gives your eye the impression that any moment the painting will start moving and break the tension. In McLennan’s show the works will deal with “universal questions, such as speculating on the existence of God and what it means to be moral.” The shows run until November 19th, so if you can’t make the reception you have some time.
Ian Francis “Fireland” @ Joshua Liner Gallery
Coming this Thursday, March 3rd, to the Joshua Liner Gallery comes the debut solo exhibition of Ian Francis. Entitled “Fireland”, this show also marks the first solo show for the artist in New York. Ian has created an amazing batch of new work, his mixed media paintings which us a variety of oils, acrylics, ink, pen, charcoal, and graphite will also be on view with some works on paper that are monochromatic but no less dynamic than the paintings.
