Current Exhibitions
"Asher, Cepulinskaite, Haden-Guest and Kille"
Dan Asher
Dans work is from the early 1980s, when he was friendly with Jean Michel Basquiet and part of the Lower East Side scene. Still a fixture in the LES, Dans 36 mask-like drawings with oil stick, crayon and ink are moving, haunting and revealing of a deeper layer of self often obscured by surface beauty. An oil painting from the 80’s and and a recent film of his life compliment these aggressive and abrupt drawings. On the other hand, the photographs of icebergs off Iceland offer a softer tone. A quieter, calmer hand is revealed in these sublime photos.
Aurelija Cepulinskaite Aurelija recently moved from her home in Lithuania to NY. These photographs of coastal Iceland and icebergs echoes Ashers representation of nature as raw beauty to be humbled by and appreciative of.
Anthony Haden-Guest Anthony has covered the art world for over 40 years. Along the way he has assembled a collection of 40 shoe boxes filled with various invitations to art exhibitions and private parties, postcards, photographs, sexual advertisement, scrawled notes and odd printed matter reflective of our cultures past and Anthony. Graphically even this small varied mix reflects design concepts that go in and out of style in time and reflect touching notes of moments past, ephemera of a life lived.
Isolde Kille Isolde Killes large paintings evoke a larger sense of space, the smallness of our concerns amongst the awe encompassing scale of the universe and leave us calmed, quieted and touched. The painted field seems to burst and move in a whirling cosmic time.
