Lyndsy Welgos

Lyndsy Welgos Work from her oeuvre. “Rawson Projects: Firstly, I think you have always attempted to address the identity of photography as an art medium in your work. In your first exhibition with Rawson Projects, while still employing photographic processes, you stripped the works of specific references to time and place. Can you describe how […]

Amy Brener

Amy Brener Work from her oeuvre. “Amy Brener has developed a method of layering resin, glass and fresnel lens to create light sensitive sculptures. Her recent works resemble artifacts of an imagined future. Some surfaces suggest touch-screen platforms and energy cells. Others are left to chance: to crystallize, crack under pressure and weather with time. […]

Josh Kline

Josh Kline Work from his oeuvre. “Typically, when an art work is referred to as being ‘of the moment’, it’s meant derisively. Our romantic ideals require art to transcend culture and time, to live on eternally rather than in a fashionable present. ‘Dignity and Self Respect’, Josh Kline’s first solo exhibition in New York, unapologetically […]

Trudy Benson

Trudy Benson Work from her oeuvre. “When a viewer engages with one of Trudy Benson’s paintings, it is as if a stream of digital consciousness has purged itself onto the canvas. Every work contains waves of riotous strokes and spray marks emphasizing an influx of information as disjointed abstract thought. Benson explores the world of digital […]

Bernadette Corporation

Mathew Cerletty

Matthew Cerletty Work from his oeuvre. “Ikea” is a color-coordinated still life of a narrow cabinet with flowers in a red glass vase on top. Golf clubs lean against its side, a black handbag hangs from a peg rack and a three-part scroll on the wall pictures an antique skeleton key. With its rhyming rectangles […]

Nick Relph

Nick Relph Work from his oeuvre. “There are young to mid-career artists today who jump nimbly across mediums and delight in the rich phenomenological possibilities of found objects and images. They tend not to work in a recognizable style, but instead create artworks that are united by sensibility—sly, mysterious, ironic, poetic. Think of Ryan Gander, […]

Lisha Bai

Lisha Bai Work from her oeuvre. Lisha Bai is featured in an upcoming group exhibition entitled “The Order of Things” at NURTUREart, Brooklyn. “NURTUREart is pleased to present The Order of Things, featuring artists Lisha Bai, Leah Beeferman, Ethan Greenbaum, Elisa Lendvay, Demetrius Oliver, Allyson Vieira, and Joe Winter.

Seth Price

Seth Price Work from his exhibition at Friedrich Petzel, New York. “Seth Price presents a show of new paintings. In various media. Portraits of envelopes and letter paper. What is this, the new paper culture? Another breast beater about how “we” are becoming disconnected and solipsistic, thanks to our hyperspeed digital blah-blah? So it’s a […]

Michael Bell-Smith

Michael Bell-Smith Work from “mbs_fp_090712” at Foxy Productions, New York. “It is impossible to identify a beginning or end to any ofMichael Bell-Smith’s four new videos. By convention they should be called loops, but the word feels wrong here. A loop creates the impression of an image fallen out of time through repetition, whereas Bell-Smith […]
