Roe Ethridge and Zin Taylor

Friday, April 5, 2013

Roe Ethridge and Zin Taylor’s The Ceremony and The Spirit at La Loge in Brussels. This collaboration works really well. The sculptural work, with its primitive humanistic forms grounds the neon, of-the-moment eye-candy works in 2-D.

Artist Crush: Dianna Molzan

Tuesday, March 26, 2013

I was immediately drawn to Dianna Molzan’s aesthetic, but I appreciate her work even more after watching this interview with the artist. I’d sum it up by saying that she has very clever ways of reimagining the artist’s canvas. Her ideas are simple but compelling. Some of the paintings below are from her 2011 show at the Whitney.

Marisa Purcell @ Edwina Corlette

Thursday, March 21, 2013

The paintings in Marisa Purcell upcoming show at Edwina Corlette Gallery are very beautiful, ethereal and transcendent. Above all they strike me as comforting, like a beloved thick down quilt.

“The subject of Marisa Purcell’s artwork cannot be found in her paintings but comes about through the experience of them. Their meaning resides in the illusory spaces created between the swathes and splashes of brilliant saturated colour, and the bold and ghostly forms that spill out from her canvases to permeate the viewer.” – Edwina Corlette Gallery

Artist Crush: Wies Preijde

Monday, March 18, 2013

TEGENDRAADS is an installation by textile designer Wies Preijde consisting of hand-woven walls which create the appearance of real walls, entrances and rooms.

“A combination of lines, colors, views and passageways gives the observer the idea of walking through a transparent home. Different color combinations exist in the abstracted, patterned spaces, resulting in a flat image which gives the holographic impression of a three dimensional expansion.” –
