(photo courtesy of the artist) Matthew Neil Gehring: Mixed Business Opening: Saturday, September 3rd, 4 to 6 pm September 3 - September 25, 2016 Stout Projects  is pleased to present  Mixed Business , a solo exhibition of New York painter, Matthew Neil Gehring. Matthew Neil Gehring’s provocative new works are energy cells, exuding a punch derived from a deep interest in color, its slippery, if not fictional nature, and its similarity to sound.  In this work, scale is volume control, color and movement are pitch, tempo, and timbre.  Drawing inspiration from Goethe’s statement (and a nod to Bowie) that “sound and vision are two rivers that flow from the same mountain", this body of work is at once reflective and action oriented with elusive and often...

  View of the Cologne Cathedral Detail Last month I was able to visit the studio of the German painter Sabine Tress . Although, Sabine is based in Cologne she has curated shows in Europe and here in the U.S. and I have been fortunate enough to have my work included alongside hers in many group shows from Dallas to London over the last four or five years. It was a highlight of our trip to finally meet and spend hours talking with Sabine and to view more of her vibrant, commanding paintings in person.

Lark is an independent, London based band helmed by painter, Karl Bielik . The new collection, Funny Man the Remixes has just been released by Standard Lamp Records   on the 25th of last month . . . On SOUNDCLOUD  and iTunes From the Press Release: Following the release of Lark’s fifth dispatch from the dark – the critically acclaimed Funny Man – Artist and Frontman Karl Bielik, was struck by a curious notion: what would happen if the album was taken apart, track by track, and then re-assembled without the use of an instruction manual? A bold move to be sure, especially in light of the amount of work, detail and control that went in to the construction of the original. And for all his curiosity, Bielik was certain of one thing: having birthed Funny Man, he was far too close to the original creation to smash the songs to bits and then attempt to stitch them back together again… He was going to need outside help. Some of the remixers involved in this new project h...
