Mlle. X, 2012

Video Studio Visit - i didn't know she makes little b/w collage studies first as sort of armatures which enlarged the color gets painted poured and layered into... the same design sometimes gets used in more than one painting.

Rapa Nui Smashup, 2009

Motor Belly, 2012

Skullspout, 2007

it's past over

on the case

"These works make you wonder if Bush is familiar with Jasper Johns’s “Seasons,” where each of the four paintings is shadowed by a male, seemingly unclothed silhouette, or Pierre Bonnard’s strangely chaste, luminous paintings of his wife reclining in a bathtub." - R. Smith

Please sign my ipetition to make this be a bad dream.

LAID TO REST

("These days the art world blogosphere produces so much of its own smug, semi-informed, provincial snark that it is hard for Mr. Safer’s to stand out." - R. Smith)

paintings

i havent posted any of my own paintings since 8/2011... before i went to istanbul.

except for pics from Bromirski/LaBine/Riley at Storefront Bushwick!

(PROPERTY OF SUSAN SCOTT ^)

i had made this^,... and later i was looking at these islamic carpets again... oh duh.

some of these are scraped and shredded so far down i then stain them from the back.

people talk about casualism and provisionalism but nobody ever talks about wabi sabi.

BROmirskiBROsseau.. look, its one of the best blog posts ever.

qualities of a good scholar's rock -  grotesque, corruscated, pockmarked, elaborated, over-elaborated, animated, awkward, top heavy, wrinkling (texture), moistness (tactile and glossy), resonance.

Simon Cerigo died Sunday.

he made every scene more interesting

Bye Simon

Simon in the hat with horns and lights, making Deborah Warner laugh, at Mark Kostabi's tv show.

Love to Nancy

best three

Jamison Brosseau, "The Natural", at 245 Varet.... a one-night party show.

My best three most wonderful art shows/encounters/experiences of the year.

Robert Janz... Mountain Mode... I noticed him working on the street, and then talked with him... later I looked him up and saw more.

Yohji Haijima, at Art + Eat... another chance encounter, a second artist in his eighties... we were just looking for a place to sit and have something to eat between galleries.. but it turned out to be the reception for the best show I saw in two months in Tokyo.

THANK YOU!

Ken Weathersby's first (solo) show at Pierogi, on anaba 6/23/2010.


Full-size.... a circle was cut and slightly turned... it is very hard to photograph how cool some of these are... the colors merge in the photo, and you can't see the splotches and pencil lines.
