Flavorpill Critics Pick
by Derek Buckner
Derek Buckner at George Billis Gallery- NY
May 3rd, 2010 - May 22nd, 2010
Posted
5/3/10
If this exhibition was your first introduction to Derek Buckner's paintings, you'd be forgiven for branding him a classicist, even a (gasp) academic. He has a penchant for working on series in which a single main subject is explored in variations on a theme; in this case, it's white linen, a classical choice to be sure. But last time, it was marshmallows, and the time before that, UFOs. He does not abandon realism altogether, but rather uses diverse images as excuses for rendering his e... [more]

To make a great exhibit you don't need much.. 3 white walls and some astonishing paintings will do..
Walking into CCCP gallery I found the finest art hanging on the walls,Booth's paintings can project you straight to another reality where colors an and shapes magically become alive,you can look at a painting for an hour and the next time you'll look again you'll find out something new that you haven't noticed yet, embedded into luxurious colors dream like images you can find the meaning o...

The Presence of Time Within "In the Footsteps of the Starry Messenger"
by Odetta Dangerfield
Meridith McNeal at Figureworks
January 8th, 2010 - February 21st, 2010
Posted
1/19/10
In the Footsteps of the Starry Messenger, now on view at Figureworks Gallery in Brooklyn, is a show of works about time, but not necessarily time as we know it, manifested as the undeniable force which makes the second hand continually tick for all eternity. Time, in Meridith McNeal’s work, speaks of the timeliness that underlies all things human; the human spirit and its course. The works within In the Footsteps of the Starry Messenger were inspired by the artist’s residence at the America... [more]

Excerpts from the Robert Gaudreau Art Review by Ed McCormack, Managing Editor of Gallery and Studio Magazine. Nov-Dec 2009 - Jan 2010 issue, Titled:“Robert Gaudreau Celebrates the Dreams, Nightmares, and Vanity of Homely Humanity”What seems to set the figurative painter Robert Gaudreau apart from a lot of other artists today is that he is not going through all sorts of clever conceptual or stylish contortions to overcome what one critic recently had the audacity to refer to as “the fallen s...

THE L MAGAZINE, October 30, 2009Antony Crossfield: Foreign Body
"The fused, melted and hybrid bodies in Crossfield's uneasy photo-manipulations are very literally joined at the hips (or elsewhere), yet appear eerily isolated and lonely in their dilapidated and tragic surroundings." [more]

NEW YORK MAGAZINE, October 26, 2009
Profile — Opening Soon
“Warped and oily and way-too-appealing photographs, considering the sadistic things that appear to be happening to this British artist's models. Most are playing naked Twister—not the fun version—while one little girl is literally stretching beyond her limits. Guillermo del Toro should visit this show."
KLOMPCHING NOTE: A 'little girl' does not appear in the artist's artwork. [more]

Mermaid Reconsidered
by Jesse Hensel
Wei Dong at Nicholas Robinson Gallery
February 26th, 2009 - April 11th, 2009
Posted
3/27/09
Wei Dong’s exquisite crosshatch technique is reminiscent of Cézanne and my grandmother’s wallpaper. Muted soft tones, caressable female flesh blending into decaying fish bodies. My first thought was that this might me an attempt at subverting the male gaze, but the gender of the painter casts this in doubt. Are the paintings simply twisted ruminations on “the scent of a woman”? Is the, not so subtle, statement that women either porcelain or meat? Is the subject matter merely a springboard to... [more]

Surface Stitches
by Jesse Hensel
Michael Raedecker at Andrea Rosen Gallery
March 14th, 2009 - April 18th, 2009
Posted
3/27/09
Simple large washed canvasses with embroidery stitched through the surface. Throughout there is a feeling of fog, air so heavy it can be stitched through. “Superficial” is a detail of a dining room table. The knife and fork fall through the foreground and the subtle chromatic details of the tablecloth keep it lively. “Hang” is by far my favorite, wispy windblown and forlorn. Bittersweet fluttering clothes hang loose from the drying lines and drift in the thick stormy air. Some of th... [more]

(photo)Realist Painting
by Jesse Hensel
David Kassan at Gallery Henoch
March 12th, 2009 - April 4th, 2009
Posted
3/27/09
The problem with photorealist paintings is that they are entierly dependent on their source material. “Call Box”, “Peeling Paint and Through” succeed because the photographs have confusing content. In these works Kassan plays with the photorealist illusion by painting quasi-two dimensional spaces. These works focus on details in worn wheat pasted plywood (the source material has probably come from one of the city’s construction sites). The compositions are overly centrist, but here th...

Welcome back for another installment of my Spring 2009 Art Fair review!

I only saw one San Francisco gallery,Ratio 3, which was showing several artists, including Ruth Laskey (below):

After the Armory Show (and some much needed sustenance) we headed down to Pier 40 for Pulse New York. In terms of tracking down San Francisco galleries participating in the shows in New York, I hit the jackpot.
Baer Ridgeway Exhibitions was showing several local Bay Area artists, including Brion Nuda Rosch (above) and Clare Rojas (below):
Work by Chris Duncan (below) was also on display:
My personal heritage obliged me to stop at the Lena & Roselli Gallerybooth, apparently the only Hungarian gallery at New Yorks contemporary art fairs:

"How Sweet It Is" by Gerard Haggerty
by Sybil Gibson
Margaret Morrison at WOODWARD GALLERY
March 7th, 2009 - May 9th, 2009
Posted
2/28/09
Like high fructose versions of Proust’s madeleines, Margaret Morrison’s sweet treats send our mind skipping back in time – specifically, back to childhood. When we were small, the kind of sugary goodies she paints loomed large, were prized and frequently forbidden; for after all, the injunction to “eat your vegetables,” did not include candy corn, except of course on that one anarchic day each year when children rule: Halloween. More often than not, Morrison’s imagery doesn’t evoke... [more]

From Above

Merrill Steiger at Allen Projects
January 7th, 2009 - February 7th, 2009
Posted
1/26/09
"From Above"- a solo exhibition showcasing the work of Merrill Steiger at Allen Gallery in Chelsea, comes highly recommended. Anyone mildly interested in Aerials, vibrant colors or abstract forms would be enamored by Steiger's vast, sprawling canvasses, which are intricate and bursting with a wide spectrum of color. These abstract renderings depict overhead, bird's eye perspectives of several different subjects: from verdant marshes to water parks, from oil refineries to vast lakes. The painti... [more]
