  • Scope Miami Beach 2014

    Scope Miami Beach 2014

    Every year around the beginning of December, social media and blogs light up with previews of art that will be on exhibition at either Art Basel, or at the Scope Art Show in Miami, Florida. Along with the images of art, there are always a few articles here and there about why the art world is loathsome and even why this is the worst time to be an artist ever. While these articles touch on a few ideas that I do agree with, I still think great art is being made and even shown at these festivals. Street art is one good example; take a look at Streeartnews.net for some of the best murals created during the event.

  • Huff and Puff…

    Huff and Puff…

    Huff and puff as much as you want, but New York Galleries are made of brick, fuck you very much Sandy.

    If you don’t already know, Hurricane Sandy has severely hurt the New York art scene. Gotham has never experienced this kind of thing before (we’ve been flooded, but not to this degree). Everyone living here was taken by surprise when the Lower East Side and Chelsea gallery districts both got badly flooded. Artist studios in Gowanus and Greenpoint areas of Brooklyn were not only flooded, but the waters that filled their buildings are known for being severely polluted. What objects survived have to be handled carefully with gloved hands, and likely discarded as unusable. Sandy didn’t really throw a lot of rain at us, but the surge that came in from the ocean filled up gallery basements and went up as high as 5 feet in ground floor spaces.

    Here are some links showing images of the damage wreaked by the storm:

  • The Art Amry Royalty x Mike Leavitt @ Jonathan Levine Gallery

    Over the weekend the Jonathan Levine Gallery opened two solo shows, the one that really caught my attention was the new “Art Army Royalty” by Mike Leavitt. Each one of these figures is based on a member of the art world that could easily be considered royalty, even though I gnash my teeth when thinking of a few of these artists placed in the same perch as the others. Each figure is made with polymer clay and is sat upon a custom made display that also has a metal name tag. I love how each artist is designed in a way that brings their own art into the presentation; this is most prominent with Ai WeiWei, Barbara Kruger, Gerhard Richter, Jeff Koons, Takashi Murakami, and Damien Hirst. Head on over and took a look at the entire show, each one of these figures is outstanding.

  • Van Arno – “The Minstrel Cycle” @ Jonathan Levine Gallery

    On April 16th, the Jonathan Levine Gallery opened a new solo show from Los Angeles artist Van Arno. This is the artist’s first solo show at the gallery, and features some of his biggest paintings yet. The exhibition is entitled “The Minstrel Cycle” and the show title “references minstrelsy, a controversial form of entertainment from the 1800s, in which performers in blackface lampooned African-American culture through comic-musical variety acts loaded with racial stereotypes.” There are seven paintings in this show, and continue Van Arno’s always exciting, dynamically posed mythical and historical figurative paintings. In the artist’s words: “I attempt to paint the archetypical moment of clarity and passion. Imagery must be made exciting and alive. Rules of lighting, anatomy, gravity and physics must be bent or broken to make the picture LOUD. That is the ultimate goal of my work.” Van Arno’s paintings are consistently filled with some of the most intense colors, layouts, and contorted and stylized figures around. Along with images of the paintings, the gallery also has some shots that show the paintings hung, giving online viewers an idea of scale.
