I love deep paintings that don't rely of typical day to day imagery. It's always good to see shows of my friend CJ. She's a great painter whom I always love speaking with. I'm glad people are putting together shows that try to help push people's minds, and not just try to show a bunch of fluff.Jeffrey Collinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17358872385807320996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8694556.post-30806957023003673062009-07-29T21:09:32.408-04:002009-07-29T21:09:32.408-04:00for example why not curate these two togeher:

But it is refreshing to see a group show that isn;t the usual suspects. And I;ve seen plenty of dumb shows by the usual suspects, so theres plenty of piss to go around.zipthwunghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02761727194113640578noreply@blogger.com
