I come from a musical background; my mother studied music in school, later teaching vocal and instrumental music in Newark public schools, and I grew up learning and playing multiple instruments. As a young person, I didn’t have much exposure to the visual arts, other than the occasional visit to the Met or the Newark […]

Leah Oates: How did Momenta form and what is the mission of the gallery? Eric Heist: Momenta began in 1986 as a group of five young artists in Philadelphia that were interested in having some critical dialog about their work after undergraduate school. We were working day jobs and felt isolated in our studios with […]

Everybody agrees that “Hey Ya!” is the greatest song. Viscerally and emotionally powerful, its references to history and form leave no doubt as to Andre 3000’s intelligence and artistry. It isn’t often that a piece can create such unanimity of judgment. And, what exists at the other end of the spectrum?  Can a work actively […]

Nicholas Alexander Boyd: What made you decide to become a film critic? A.O. Scott: It wasn’t entirely my decision.

Charlotte Meyer: The Hotel Rehearsal contains all the elements of your previous work; architectural space, the dynamics of living in the public, revealing habits that sometimes we keep hidden—but in contrast it takes on popular culture in a seamless presentation. You have created a completely transparent hotel room containing little more than a bed/sofa raised […]

Rarely do I willingly speak of my paintings. What I see is not necessarily the same as you see. The paintings should only be seen in the viewer’s own eyes. However, in my last solo exhibition during the fall in Milan, organized by Camaver Kunsthaus, an Italian asked why the people in the paintings are always […]

Everything is energy, vibrating frequencies. I am simply a vessel, a conduit, a channel for Divine Universal Energy to flow, express, and communicate through me information and healing frequencies to raise the vibration and energy of the viewer and the space in which this work is displayed. This artwork is Spiritually based and for the […]

In my art I combine the classical and modern principles and methods of oil painting. I think that all of the techniques (the more, the better) are a path toward creating good art.
