Gallery Hopping in NYC & Upcoming Shows

May 18, 2016 lisa fox

This past weekend, I spent my time hiking on Long Island's North Shore, touring the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory campus where DNA was discovered, catching up with old friends and gallery hopping in Manhattan. It was action packed and my legs are still recovering from all the mileage.

If you're ever in need for a restaurant that offers gluten free options while gallery hopping in Chelsea, I recommend Friedmans Lunch in Chelsea Market. Their fish tacos hit the spot. (Thanks for a great lunch date, Dana!)

*Aditya Pande, RING ROAD DRAWINGS, Mixed media on paper, 2014*

The first exhibit at Aicon Gallery was selected works of Aditya Pande, a contemporary artist from India who works with painting, sculpture, installation art and video. His pop-artish works tend to include overlaying shapes, many incorporating paint, ink and glitter.

*Aditya Pande, HALF LIFE FORM VII & IX (DIPTYCH), Mixed media on archival paper, 2012*

*Aditya Pande, Half Life Form III, Mixed media on archival paper, 2012*

*Aditya Pande, PORTRAIT OF A DOG AS A YOUNG ARTIST, Mixed media on paper, 2015*

*Aditya Pande,* *A:H&M and C:H&M*, *Mixed media on paper, 2014*

The second artist represented at Aicon Gallery was Promotesh Das Pulak of Bangladesh whose work deals with social crisis, war and pollution. His exhibition, Betrayal of Innocence and Beauty, incorporated sculpture, video and photography.

Yossi Milo Gallery is currently showing the large scale photographs of John Chiara. These pieces were created in a van that the artist converted into a camera obscura that he enters to expose photographic paper directly to light, eliminating the darkroom steps. Chiara dodges, burns and filters the light to create these boldly colorful works that make us slow down and see familiar subjects in a new way.

Praxis International Art is showing the photography of Argentinian Lucia Fainzilber. In her exhibition, Wild Flowers, Fainzilber uses large scale portraits to explore women and their obsessions.

The exhibit, Malkovich, Malkovich, Malkovich: Homage to Photographic Masters, at Yancey Richardson Gallery is the result of the creative and collaborative efforts of Sandro Miller and John Malkovich. Miller photographed the actor slipping into the "roles" of some of the most iconic images of the history of photography. This show depicts Malkovich as Marilyn Monroe, Einstein, Che Guevara, and Hemingway to name only a few.

Also showing at Yancey Richardson was the work of Italian photographer Olivo Barbieri whose overhead images of landscapes are carefully manipulated to create the illusion that they are collages.

Israeli artist Lee Yanor uses photographic c-prints and and overlay of voile fabric which has also been printed on to create seemingly holographic images. The results are full of movement and they dance beautifully as the viewer changes location. Her work is on display at Onishi Gallery.

Happy Day After Mother's Day!

Happy (Belated) Mothers Day!

In honor of Mothers Day having been this past weekend, I decided to share one of my favorite family pictures depicting my maternal lineage. That fuzzy potato on my grandma Pauline's lap is me and on either side are my great grandma Pearl and my Mama. I thank them for their lessons, patience, grace under challenging circumstances and funky style.

For the last couple of weeks, I've been visiting Mom and Dad on Long Island. So, between the impossible array of events and get togethers that come up when one goes back home for any amount of time, I've managed to squeeze in a mini visit here and there of some of my old stomping grounds and discover new spots, as well. Of course, several of these outings involved catching some great art exhibitions.

Here are some shots from my recent adventures. They include photos of downtown Huntington, the local tulip festival, an opening reception for Stanko's Happy Trails at the Ripe Gallery, an exhibition of Long Island's most talented high school artists at the Heckscher Museum, and both the Kenny Scharf exhibition and the Glamorous Graffiti exhibition at the Nassau County Museum of Art.
