Artists represented include William Anastasi, Ross Bleckner, Dana Frankfort, Al...   [more]

BravinLee programs is very pleased to present a new work on paper by Guy Richards Smit. Mr. Smit mines his brooding absurdism as a performance artist, front man, artist and filmmaker. In his many guises, Mr. Smit is a provocateur with the heart of Jean Seberg and the soul of Pat Cooper. Over a decade ago, merely playing one of his Grossmalerman videos had the effect of ending a dinner party at John...   [more]

Artist's Statement Slyboot's Promise These pieces are all skin and bones and, at least at the beginning, a lot of hot air. The materials are flexible and liquid: cloth soaked in sugar water. Thin, light and of little substance, these sculptures are a gang of sly boots.  Although some of them are really big guys, they are all in the end just surface and illusion. That said, they are stiff, not...   [more]
