Visual Overture Article
Tuesday, August 17th, 2010Hello! So I’ve contributed some of my thoughts about Street Art and its evolution in an article for Visual Overture Magazine. This particular topic has sparked pretty good and healthy discussions among my fellow artists and friends. Check out the 2nd Volume of this great little artists source.

The Art of Cooking
Friday, June 4th, 2010I’ve been lucky enough to experience some fine dining lately…all due to my honey’s sensational love affair with food. I’ve never particularly viewed a meal as a emotion stirrer or thought provoking object as I look at art. But I can now understand the passion foodies have for the art of cooking. One place has made me reach this epiphany. Noma has been declared #1 restaurant in the world, but before the noted title, I had heard plenty of it from my man. The words ‘its the best meal I’ve ever had in my whole life’ resonate and can only imagine it equating to watching your favorite artist working on a painting…
I’ve been directed towards an excellent blog called foodsnobblog, and have been told to read this post. Mind you, I am very impatient… so I go straight to the pictures… I’ve never thought I would be comparing food to art… but these plates are worthy of such a comparison.
Do read the post. Its nice to experience this amazing day with the writer…

There is a great painting show happening at the Lyons Wier Gallery (175 7th Ave (at 20th St.) in Manhattan right now. Artist Jazz-minh Moore has a solo show titled “Slipping Sideways” which will be up through June 20th. Jazz-minh’s paintings are alive, full of energy and emotion. Her technique is beautifully mastered and her colors bring into this dreamy and windy world. I can’t wait to see her work.
Here is an excerpt from the gallery press release:
Ms. Moore’s deftness of hand lends itself seamlessly to her methodology. Utilizing the wood grain as a landscape to influence her compositions, some sections are left unfinished and others are highly rendered. The level of completion is an evolving collaboration between the organic drawing ‘style’ present and the wood panel itself.

Adia Millett
Thursday, April 8th, 2010Adia Millett’s current body of work, deeply embedded in metaphor, suggests a story of transition from loss to potential love. Her work examines the beauty of impermanence, the power of the unknown, and the illusion of innocence. She uses gestures, objects and sound to convey an abstracted reality where the viewer is asked to put together pieces of a mysterious puzzle. – Artist’s Statement

Saturday, March 13th, 2010Just read this article about Kandinsky’s circle paintings and SPACE. two of my favorites. read it.
Those “several” circles, I saw, were more like three dozen, and every one of them seemed to be rising from the canvas, buoyed by the shrewdly exuberant juxtapositioning of their different colors, sizes and apparent translucencies. I learned that, at around the time Kandinsky painted the work, in 1926, he had begun collecting scientific encyclopedias and journals; and as I stared at the canvas, a big, stupid smile plastered on my face.
…
I also learned of Kandinsky’s growing love affair with the circle. The circle, he wrote, is “the most modest form, but asserts itself unconditionally.” It is “simultaneously stable and unstable,” “loud and soft,” “a single tension that carries countless tensions within it.”…
I feel the same way.
