Surface Stitches

Michael Raedecker at Andrea Rosen Gallery

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]

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:

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]

This show was far too brief and though curated by chance it is filled with a wide variety of hot art - all ready and waiting for museum recognition. Three of the outstanding artists are pictured here.
Vernita Nemec AKA N’Cognita's cast paper installation of collaged assemblages and 3-D paperworks made of junkmail security envelopes translates places amd moments into a visual autobiography reflecting our 21st century lives by transforming materials that would otherwise enter landfills.

Each visual artist in the surreal show at Ico Art & Music Gallery curated by gallery director, Skylor Brummans brings to mind the diverse flavors of a scrumptious scoop of spumone ice cream.

The scope of artistic expression covers both the tangible and intangible universe. As a diverse collection of works which belong to the school of surrealism, the artists prompt th... [more]

Lisa M. Robinson's photography collection "Snowbound," currently on
exhibit at the Klompching Gallery in Dumbo, might sound like an
unwelcome concept in the middle of winter, but in a way, that is one of
the points of her work: drawing attention to the uneasy relationship

The Architect's Newspaper - John P. Gendall
Baby It's Cold Inside (excerpt)
"While the work is most definitively wintry, Robinson manages to generate a sense of paradox by leaving traces of other seasons in some of the frames. Snow stills summer's trampoline and basketball hop and park bench. Frozen garden plants or the ropes of a golf course seem caught in a silent death. Blades of fresh, green grass emerge from under the blanket of an early snowfall, creating a tension between seasons coming... [more]
