Gabriel Hartley Gabriel Hartley: Waterwood Opening: Friday, November 22nd, 6 - 8 pm Nov 22, 2019 - Jan 12, 2020 Foxy Production 2 East Broadway, 200 New York, NY 10038,  USA From the Press Release : Foxy Production is pleased to present Waterwood, Gabriel Hartley’s latest solo exhibition at the gallery. Hartley is known for his abstracted paintings that evoke figures and cityscapes. His new series of acrylic and ink paintings on wood suggests vistas of landforms and weather systems, and, at the same time, images from inner space, of the body or mind. The works play with the duality of representational painting: while it may simulate the world, it can also be appreciated as a confluence of forms, colors, and textures. The exhibition taps into the visceral pleasures of the opposing drives of human perception: to both sustain illusion and to deconstruct it. Gabriel Hartley (London, UK, 1981) lives and works in London. He holds a BA in Fine Art from Chelsea College...

Len Bellinger : Recent Paintings and Works on Paper An online exclusive exhibition on ARTSY by M. David & Co. View exhibition here . From the Press Release: For forty years Len Bellinger’s work has been committed to the exploration of abstract/non-representational painting and the ambiguous space inherent in the concept of ‘abstraction,’ from early icon-shaped minimalist panels trimmed with gold leaf as a P.S.1 studio resident in the late ’70’s to thickly manipulated paintings rich with byzantine color and an underlying architectonic structure found in his current practice. “Taking off from the overall schemes of Renaissance altarpieces, Len Bellinger builds up heavily textured architectural paintings that have a feeling of sculptural mass. While retaining echoes of the original forms – faint, arching shapes and linear paneling – Bellinger reworks the altarpieces into very contemporary explorations of light and color…Their evident link to the past in...

Digital image of traditional Indian miniature reworked by Nehal Devi Original: Krishna and His Family Admire a Solar Eclipse, Kangra school, India, 1710 - 1778;  from the Freer + Sackler Collection Jyeshtha Purnima, This full moon Give up your seeking. What you seek Is seeking you, In a way far beyond You or your seeking. Remember, when you see the Moon today Thousands who are seeing too. And in that seeing We are all connected. This full moon, knowing The isolation is an illusion, And in that knowing We are all connected. by Nehal Devi Nehal Devi is a yogini and an artist, who expresses herself through varied forms: painting, performance and moving/still images. She explores the seemingly paradoxical relationship between Nehal, the ‘self’ identified with her name and form (the relative ‘I’) and Devi, the unchanging unidentified ‘Self’ (the absolute ‘I’). Her work focuses on I-I.

Kamonchanok Phon-ngam on the Lower East Side, NYC Photo by: Ryan Teeramate   Kamonchanok Phon-ngam is a multi-disciplinary artist and an integral part of the art communities in Brooklyn and the Lower East Side in Manhattan. Her art practice and the ideas that fuel it are wide ranging, deeply personal and frequently visionary. Phon-ngam pushes the medium and methods of fabric and sewing far beyond their traditional associations with craft by infusing them with a contemporary personal narrative as well as shared experiences of life in New York City. Often she uses indigenous materials as a foundation and backdrop to be embellished by the more traditional methods of drawing, collage and a painter's eye for color and composition. The satisfying combination of the historic and the intimate transforms matter into a shared experience of the mundane and the discarnate. Kamonchanok Phon-ngam was born in 1986 and is a Thai artist living in New York City. In 2013 she completed ...

Fiona Halse, Afon, 2019, mixed media on canvas, 100x100 cm White on White: Anna Caione & Fiona Halse August 28 - September 1, 2019 West End Art Space 137 Adderley Street West Melbourne VIC 3003 Australia From the Press Release : The exhibition ‘White on White’ explores the philosophical, poetic associations of the colour white through the work of Melbourne artists Anna Caione and Fiona Halse. Caione and Halse express the synergies and divergences in their approach to abstraction through the process of surface manipulation and gestural expression. Their shared preference for the colour white amalgamates their works yet each artist loads the neutrality of the hue with a diversity of personal meaning that gives rise to a range of intriguing interpretative possibilities. White is considered by some to be a non-colour, yet its transformational qualities continue to fascinate contemporary artists. White can be purely suggestive or a dominant force informing the intrin...
