The ‘temporary Museum of Painting likes to pretend that there are no visual arts other than painting and drawing and that these fundamentally create what we see. Its wall space is reserved for those artists that are largely oblivious to the technologies of instant image collection and continue to create individual artworks, by hand, with […]

The photograph is commonly imagined as the most literal of the arts: what we see in the image is what was there. Even in the age of the digital image this understanding of the medium persists. Yet photography too, from its earliest moments, was understood as a space for performance and a frame where the […]

Stare is an exhibition about the deconstruction and reconstruction of the figurative portrait through distortion—whether on a physical or psychological level. Each of the six male artists brought together in this exhibition address this same issue; yet create very different results from one another. I am fascinated by the way these male artists work on […]

Her vast kingdom began where Ecuador is now located and reached down as far as Lima, the current capital of the Peruvian territory.

My collage work has been linked to my work as a designer. Its influence comes from Japanese magna art, comic books, high fashion, photography and graphic art. For a long time, collage has allowed me to tell stories in a very straightforward way that has a bit of an edge to it, almost political commentary. […]

Through the factory windows of the Two Lines Gallery, the hazy skyline of Beijing encases the work of three artists; Weissensteiner, McCormick and Scott, who consider the self in this city. Walking through three distinct spaces, the viewer perceives three questioning statements from three perspectives and, thus, art and city merge. Does the artist become […]

The art of Donald Damask plays with color, texture and line—all of which are cobbled by the forces of time and chance. He creates within an action-based process that leverages opportunity and opportunity overturned.
