Femininity in photography is not what it used to be. It is no longer romantic or desirable. As women, it seems that cotemporary images found in fashion and fine art are created to make us feel less than adequate. I yearn for the time when sensuality and grace could be found in subtle incarnations rather […]

Ripped and Torn is an arcade of unique artworks that appear to be sliced and diced with a scalpel, torn and ripped by hand, and assembled from non-logical parts by 24 whimsical artists who set out to create the aesthetic illusion of a magical world conjured up from the depths of their subconsciousness. Today collage […]

This past October, Mahan Gallery presented an exhibition of paintings, drawings, photography, and collage by nine globally recognized artists who share a strong interest in symbolical narrative. The exhibition functioned as a survey of mountainous aesthetics, simultaneously exploring the fables, folklores, and assumed simulations of the mountain by the artists or interpretation of the curator, […]

This can be a result of having no internal […]

My recent body of work is somewhat of an epiphany to me; before these drawings I had taken an unconscious hiatus from drawing for four years. It wasn’t until I worked on the artwork for Lesser Panda (London gothic dance act) that I picked up the pencil again and rekindled everything I love about image […]

Bending Nature is an exhibition of contemporary art assembled for the environment of a botanical conservatory. It is a look at how 15 very different artists and designers have been inspired by plants, plant growth, and horticultural traditions. Bending Nature is part of an ongoing program of exhibitions at the Franklin Park Conservatory that draws […]

It’s an old New York story: Artist moves to industrial-cum-desolate neighborhood, other artists follow, then the artist is promptly priced out of the zip code when boutiques and a less scrappy stock of settlers invade.

Comprising some 4,000 vintage postcards sourced mostly online over the past year, Zoe Leonard’s piece reveals its renowned subject, Niagara Falls, from […]
