Fall 2009

Advertorial Artistry

Noted

The diversity of techniques and media used in Tiziano Fabris’ works makes its production complex to classify.

Zara in Wonderland

Reviewed

Small Wonders, a summer exhibition as well as her first Brighton solo show by the critically acclaimed illustrator Zara Wood, takes place at Boxbird Gallery.

Unica Zürn

Reviewed

On opening night in the Drawing Center’s main gallery, a palpable vibration filled the room, where mostly artists, critics and art collectors converged to see a rare apparition—that of the “hallucinatory chimeras” of enigmatic German poet/artist Unica Zürn (1916-1970).

My First Children

Noted

Sergey Bratkov is a photographer who was active in the Fast Reaction Group, an urban interventionist collective prominent in Ukraine during the mid-1990s (together with Boris Mikhailov, Sergey Solonsky, and Victoria Mikhailova).

The Scars of Time

Reviewed

Rarely does a photojournalistic exhibit go so far beyond the gallery as Jonathan Torgovnik has taken his series, Intended Consequences: Rwandan Children Born of Rape.

The Sensuous Curvaceous

Skin

I select all my works via instinct and intuition rather than any intellectual reasoning.

Flesh as Form

Skin

My photographs reflect a fascination with the body as form.

The Modern Vanitas

Skin

When I paint I like to do so on printed materials; it is a way to unite my passion for topics such as anatomy and mechanics, and my hobby for collecting posters, maps, atlases, and geography with my work.

Cinematic Snapshots

Noted

Vanitas is the newest body of photographic and video-based works by celebrated Canadian husband-wife collaborative team Nicholas and Sheila Pye. In Vanitas, the Pyes play with themes present in the art historical genre of still life painting to examine their own relationship.

With You I Want To Live

Reviewed

While Art Basel Miami, the most important contemporary art fair in the country has been raking in the press as well as the big bucks, the adjacent city of Fort Lauderdale, with much less fanfare, has been silently growing by leaps and bounds.

Hedonistic Seduction

Skin

In my paintings, I attempt to reflect my sense of the times we are living in, both how richly interesting they are and how difficult it is for most of us to navigate their uncharted waters.

Girl, Recomposed

Skin

In the series of works entitled I Recompose Myself I represent a world of automatons composed by pieces that can be taken apart and easily reassembled—“terminator” mutants with the most curious and surprised human expressions.

Reflective Tendency

Skin

I am interested in a way of looking at the world, not in an idea. I am not looking for something; rather, I find things. I am looking for situations where my innermost is mirrored by the outer world.

Capturing Penis Envy

Skin

My works play with questioning the reality of the world around us. What things are hiding from us? What things are blocking our view? It is a game of shifting absence and presence that makes certainties fragile.
