Franck Salzwedel

Franck Salzwedel Work from THE STAR WEPT ROSE at Blackston Gallery. “…Salzwedel utilizes both precision and intuition in applying layers of pigment to reveal luminescent, entirely smooth panels of singular yet gradated colors, which progress both laterally and radially across the surface. With little overt contrast across the plane, the focus is on nuance and […]

Elena Damiani

Elena Damiani Work from La Historia Se Descompone En Imágenes, No En Historias @ Revolver. “The visual realm has seized new contexts, new materials, new techniques, has taken as its own the flexibility of time and the uncertainty of cognitive contexts.

Tom Burr

Tom Burr Work from Sentence at Bortolami Gallery. “…One distinction of Burr’s work that persists is his consideration of the ephemeral.

Carlos Cruz-Diez
