Aakash Nihalani Builds in 2-D
Bedford Avenue in Williamsburgand elsewhere
While summer-strolling along Williamsburg’s famed Bedford Avenue next weekend, stop at Penny Licks for a vegan (or otherwise) nibble—and as you leave, keep your eyes peeled. Opening trompe l’oeil windows onto our gum-smudged and familiar streets, artist Aakash Nihalani aims to “highlight the unexpected contours and geometry of the city itself”—and if you stop and look long enough, it does.

Remarkable Maturation of A Former Collective Member

It's true in music, theatre groups, and it's also true in fine art. The newly independent artist struggles to find her or his own voice, while the remaining members of a group can't help but feel left behind, even if they achieve their own success regardless, especially when the former partner walks alright on her or his own feet.

(photo)Realist Painting

David Kassan at Gallery Henoch
March 12th - April 4th

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...

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):

My personal heritage obliged me to stop at the Lena & Roselli Gallerybooth, apparently the only Hungarian gallery at New Yorks contemporary art fairs:
