Solution Proposition at 798 Space
"Solution Proposition," a series of one dozen photographs accompanied by autobiographical text, is both an experimental concept and a real life action project. It seeks to draw attention to a widespread social phenomenon that nonetheless remains a social taboo: prostitution.

Shinichi Maruyama
Shinichi Maruyama’s work is subconsciously influenced by a Japanese sense of beauty. This sense of beauty can be found in the concept of “wabi-sabi,” referring to the beauty of imperfection and understated elegance. Additionally, this beauty is also expressed in “ma,” the use of negative space, found in the art of calligraphy as well as […]
Smile of Matter: Chu Yun at Vitamin Creative Space – Hu Fang, Curator
Chu Yun has remained in continual pursuit of obscuring pain and happiness and his work proves skeptical of dispositions that can be clearly defined by explicit suffering, joy, tragedy or anger.

The peculiar and unprecedented intimacy of the human psyche with anthropomorphized animals saw its flowering in […]

His newest works, many of which were put on display at his Broadway Gallery solo show, “Collage and the City,” this spring, are no exception. In these pieces, Faust mingles his characteristic […]
Dreamweavers – Steven Psyllos

Her passionate ideas lend color to a room, spark energy into a conversation and juxtapose artists in almost adventurous ways.

Man in the Box – Ron Johnson
Entering the Anderson Gallery to view Gerald Donato’s show, “Reinventing the Game,” I realized that, even though I have known him for six or seven years, I had not seen much of his work. Thus, I came to this show with an undisturbed palette. As I walked from room to room, I was continually blown […]
