(click image to enlarge) Philadelphia based artist, Kevin Finklea is one of my favorite, and most admired painters. Check out these events where his work can be seen this summer.

(click image to enlarge) From the press release: Bunker ’s primary material is the detritus he finds on the streets in and around Stepney, where he lives and works. Torn posters, shattered CDs, abandoned chicken-shop boxes are formed into abstract structures, in which the century-long tradition of collage fuses with the immediacy of gestural painting. A deep engagement with the history of abstract art is given urgency by animplicit acknowledgement of the unreality of the virtual spaces in which we are increasingly enmeshed. Mounted on MDF panels, the Fugue series is Bunker’s most complex and unashamedly ‘aesthetic’ to date, drawing particularly on the Cubist still-lives of Juan Gris. A de-centered approach to composition is married to a newly sophisticated colour-sense.

Last evening Canada hosted an informative panel discussion to augment their current exhibition Supports Surfaces. The learned panel was moderated by Rachel Stella and included Art Historians and writers/critics Bernard Ceysson, Paul Rodgers, and Raphael Rubinstein. But most importantly two of the exhibiting artists, Noël Dolla and Pierre Buraglio, were also present and were able to give voice, clarity and insight into the concerns and origins of their work. Excellent points were made as to the relationship and reactions for and against French Modernism and the work of the American Abstract Expressionists as well as the influence of American Pop Art and Minimalism. Rubinstein and Whitney also made pertinent points regarding the concerns of the Support Surfaces movement of Southern France in the 1960's and work being pro...
