Gianna Commito @ Rachel Uffner

"Tunk," 2011, watercolor, casein, and marble dust ground on panel, 30 x 24 inches




"Boro," 2011, watercolor, casein, and marble dust ground on panel, 16 x 20 inches

love how you can see where the tape has ripped off the paint. in the top painting "Tuft", look at the lower right - what the hell is going on there? controlled scrapping and sanding. these paintings are not quite perfect and that's why i like them. not to mention the colors in the above 2 are some of my favorite combos; acidic yellow and green w/gray. i've been noticing a stripe trend in painting lately and i like it. whether it's concentric squares or off kilter stripes in one form or another. i also like how most of these artists leave their trace on the canvas. the paintings are never polished, always a little rugged, worn and to me accessible. some other artists that rock the stripe include; Jered Sprecher, Jasmine Justice, Lisa Williamson, Jennie C JonesJulian Hoeber, R.M. Phoenix, Wayne Adams.

Some Stuff form Chelsea

Nicole Eisenman, Beer Garden with Ash at Leo Koenig, Inc

like that the beers in this painting are all Hoegaarden. besides that, really like her 21st century interpretation of french impressionist subject matter. she mixes muted colors w/acidic ones; and i always enjoy that. there's another painting w/a big bright orange cat - love it. her paintings are lush and i enjoy seeing a thick application of paint. the color coming from the small light bulbs hung around the trees is a wonderful sour light yellow-green. great stuff!

Sarah Morris, Portuguese Bowline at Friedrich Petzel Gallery

she makes films too, can't wait to see one.





Jim Gaylord, Particulated Bronco at Jeff Bailey Gallery

what the hell is going on in these paintings! they're so surreal w/their recognizable forms morphed into abstract shapes. they're a mystery and i can look at them for days.





Jered Sprecher, Nature of Analog at Jeff Bailey Gallery

really like the acid colors and bold use of geometric shapes. check out his website for a lot more





Wolfgang Laib, Frieze of Life at Sean Kelly Gallery

This color was so much more intense. a big beautiful space of saturated color
