An afternoon in Chelsea

Took a stroll to check out Walton Ford’s exhibit at Paul Kasmin Gallery and ended up viewing 3 other artists in the area. Yoko Ono, Paul Winstanley and Bruce Porter.

Walton Ford’s watercolor works are beautiful and impressive.

Yoko Ono’s exhibit has a fun Polaroid wall which anyone can become part of. I left one behind, see if you find me 😉
y.o. touch me

Paul Winstanley’s Paintings are soft and subtle, and very beautiful. Except for one that had reds and darker colors. Very different from his very large curtain and green paintings.

And not but not least, Bruce Porter’s paintings are cut-outs addressing mythological themes. There is pencil lines around the shapes and messy color fills. He’s work is interesting, but not my favorite. His exhibit opens tonite 5-22-08.

99 bucks

hi friends. here’s an interesting idea…help up-coming artists get their name out…and help your apartment with some original artwork. no, not prints…original one-of-a-kind pieces. This NY artist-run website gives 90% of the profit to the artist where most galleries are known to take 50% of the sales. YEA. fifty!! (*sigh*) Original art for 99 is a great way to get started as an artist or buyer. If you are like me and can’t spend millions on a Cezanne, this might be the place for you….surf around and check out some new art.

My good friend Bjorn has created a gateway for artists to learn of others inspirations and techniques. Vivianite is an incredible site that features up and coming artists around the world. Check out the newly re-vamped website and be inspired.
