Ryan Fenchel THE ADEPT WEPT Review, NewCity

 

“His use of vessels as his longtime subject, for example, easily lends itself to symbolic readings but also serves as a simple starting point for experimentation with shape, color and texture.” -Kelly Reaves (NewCity)

Diana Guerrero-Maciá: Slow Blossoming reviewed in Art LTD

“The social issues of Guerrero-Maciá’s works are not so much gleaned from the signs and symbols of her artworks as they are felt through the overall environment she has created in the gallery. This exhibition is intended as a contemporary take on the notion of the salon—a haven of aesthetics, dialogue and camaraderie. In ‘SLOW BLOSSOMING,’ Guerrero-Maciá diverts some emphasis from her own messages within her pieces, shifting the focus to the important social activity we are a part of within the space and amongst the art.” – Robin Dluzen

Shannon Finley featured on the Creators Project

Some great insight from the Creators Project on Shannon Finley’s creative process and what goes in to making these amazing paintings.

The future of art will live in the spaces between analog and digital, static and dynamic, and information and memory. Berlin-based artist Shannon Finley’s large paintings, titled Interference, at Carrie Secrist Gallery in Chicago, highlight both the tensions and exciting possibilities that exist within his widening expanses.

Whitney Bedford review: NewCity

 

Great interview with Whitney Bedford on the occasion of her exhibition EAST OF EDEN in NewCity.

“Exploring the emotional potential of the landscape, Bedford’s work is about balancing extremes and celebrating contradictions. When asked which part is stronger, she witfully replies: ‘Aren’t they the same thing?’”
