20110317122552-sophia_dixon_dillo_fl4_7 Contemporary light artist shows installation in Steamboat  
by
Sophia Dixon Dillo at Vertical Arts Gallery March 17th, 2011 - March 17th, 2011
Posted 3/17/11

Steamboat Springs — Without light, the color red wouldn’t be red. Blue wouldn’t be blue, and white wouldn’t be white. As Colorado artist Sophia Dixon Dillo studied painting at Colorado State University, she was captured by the perception of art through the reflection, refractions and absorptions of light, and it led her to abandon the paintbrush and try to capture the light as a medium of its own. “Light is ungraspable,” Dillo said. “You don’t see it if you’re not looking for...

Posted 2/14/11

I am throughly satisfied to announce that this representation of New and Original Images by Mr. Taylor shows exactly that there exists talent Undiscovered, and Beauty in simplicity and harmonic color application. The Ignorance on The Planet with Humanities Focus on War, and Misery is non-existant in this Gallery's approach toward Sanity. Feel The Love, and Comfort brought on by the application of pigment unto canvas in a symbolic representation of using Images To Form Communication That Stimulates Th... [more]

The Virtues of Working around the 'Limitations' of a Small Studio  
by
BARBARA GRAD at Kemper at the Crossroads February 4th, 2011 - May 28th, 2011
Posted 2/11/11

Abstract landscapes imbued with the presence of video gaming and cartography is seen throughout new and recent paintings from Barbara Grad. The layers and clues found in these works have a kinetic energy that strongly invokes a line from the “The Have Nots” by the great American punk band X: “This is the game that moves as you play.” One example of this well-conceived idea is prominently found in Erosion (2008, oil on canvas). Mostly blue in color, a small shock of bright pink as... [more]

A Paean to Family History and a Serious Exercise in Ancestor Worship

Misha Kligman at Kansas City Artists Coalition December 10th, 2010 - January 15th, 2011
Posted 12/23/10

Originally published in Art Tattler (www.arttattler.com) By Blair Schulman New work by Misha Kligman at Kansas City Artists Coalition shows us the weariness of a world where the past is always following you. Paintings and drawings of muted or obscured figures take us into a negative space allowing viewers to avoid confrontation with the subject matter. It seems easier to absorb Kligman’s take on displacement and genocide when you cannot meet the terror in their eyes. His use of exhausting co... [more]

by
Emily Humphries at artegiro gallery October 8th, 2010 - November 7th, 2010
Posted 11/1/10

There is a playfully sensual quality to Emily Humphries’ work from her time in Montifiascone. Much of the work has the sparseness of fading frescoes where some images appear to have been drawn away into the surface leaving behind a mere trace of detail or a lone splash of colour. At times the work flickers in and out of abstraction, such as in the lyrical beauty of Floating Blossoms.  Present too within   the richness of her iconography, we find arches and columns abstracted from this cloistered vi...

Budapest, Beata Szechy exhibition at Jokai Club, Budapest December 12th, 2009 - January 13th, 2010
Posted 1/12/10

Conflict and harmonyBeata Szechy exhibition opening at Jokai ClubDecember 12, 2009Since I knew that I was going to give the opening speech for Beata Szechy's exhibition, I wrestled with two things. First: a scientific, objective, art historian’s argument for the presentation. Second: a more personal tone that indicates the long-time relationship between "speaker" and "artist.” So in the end: my speech will be a mixture of both. I start with the fact that she isn't Beata to me, she is Bea. S... [more]
