PLUS!!!

Denise Kupferschmidt, at CRG for Colby Bird! - Denise is the artist responsible for the Apartment Show(s)!!!

Daniel Rozin, Jean-Pierre Roy - closing Saturday

Two shows both closing soon - Saturday 10/6 - worth a look if you are in the (Chelsea) neighborhood -


Daniel Rozin, at bitforms - these things are amazing. Mirrors that aren't mirrors, digital art of quivering wooden pegs and laminated c-rings. Go to the website or look him up on youtube...

Jean-Pierre Roy, at RARE - four large, impressive paintings and a small triptych... disasters in saturated blues, purples and greens. A meteor shower pounding the earth, cities in ruins. Definitely a (fellow) fan of John Martin.

Zach Harris... plus

Zach Harris, at RARE (in the back). A little bit these landscapes make me think of Gregory Amenoff.

James Wagner posted on Zach after seeing his stuff at his grad show, two plus years ago... James was really into it. Right now I want to see these shows at Canada and Sunday that they are excited about. Jacques-Louis Vidal's website is crazy.

I like frames. Timothy Sean Johnston's excellent paintings are always framed... Tom Sanford... Randy Wray had some nice lumpy frames... Alison Fox is experimenting with frames and edges.

Horace Pippin is the man, that's who I thought of when I saw the Randy Wray piece.

PLUS: Pat Berran and Kate Horne, artists who have shown at Nonesuch, are included in the show in the front space (at RARE), and Pat Berran, henceforth referred to as Patrick, is featured on PaintersNYC today.
