20130330205904-_mg_2559 Jacob Williams: Nightmare of the Haunted Buddha  
by
Jacob Williams at Diesel Denim Gallery February 4th, 2006 - April 2nd, 2006
Posted 3/31/13

by Ami Kealoha in Culture on 23 February 2006 Brooklyn-based artist Jacob Williams' day-glo psychedelia already looks like a trip through a Disneyland ride on drugs, which makes Tim Regan's recent video piece (created to announce the opening reception for Williams' solo installation "Nightmare of the Haunted Buddha") a natural fit. Set to a dramatic Psycho-esque soundtrack, the animation sets Williams' mountains, wild-haired women, and panthers in motion, which nicely establishes... [more]

by
Krzysztof Wodiczko at Galerie Lelong November 8th, 2012 - November 8th, 2012
Posted 11/20/12

Krzysztof Wodiczko's Abraham Lincoln: War Veteran Projection is the best public space installation in 2012, this is a must see! You can get a few minutes of a quick documentation at https://vimeo.com/53446621 but I suggest viewing the installation live. Like all of Wodiczko's work, this installation is politically charged, moving and mesmerizing. The brilliance is behind the images of 14 war veternas from Vietnam, Afganistan and Iraq, projected  onto the cold bronze statue of Abraham Lincoln. As... [more]

20110411085720-rozenman_alexandra An essay about Rozenmna's work by Joseph Mendelsohn  
by
Alexandra Rozenman at Contemporary Art Network May 3rd, 2011 - May 27th, 2011
Posted 4/14/11

In an interview, Alexandra Rozenman spoke of, “[t]he longing for a common, known space” as a key to her imagery. She goes on to say that she wants the viewer to enter her painting like an actor whose identity is subsumed by a role. In AFLOAT, Rozenman’s recent series of paintings, the shared theatrical space is an aqueous atmosphere that resembles a pond or flooded earth. It is a precinct of dreams somewhere between liquid memory and the solid remnants of reality at the water’s edge. Th... [more]

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]

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...

Four colorful landscapes by Indian painter URMIL JAIN  form a part of the onging  'MAZE OF MILIEU'  exhibition at Agora Gallery. Notable amongst her works is the painting "Woman with Matka",  a moodful village scene depicting a mystical confluence of the elements of nature with a wonderful backdrop of the moonlit sky.  Whether real or surreal, the deep grays, blues and greens and many Indian red tones in her paintings will strike the romantic cord inside the viewer. Be it the  "Environment" or... [more]
