I love seeing the poles in the neighborhood and even better when he’s working on them. I love this town.

There is a great painting show happening at the Lyons Wier Gallery (175 7th Ave (at 20th St.) in Manhattan right now. Artist Jazz-minh Moore has a solo show titled “Slipping Sideways” which will be up through June 20th. Jazz-minh’s paintings are alive, full of energy and emotion. Her technique is beautifully mastered and her colors bring into this dreamy and windy world. I can’t wait to see her work.
Here is an excerpt from the gallery press release:
Ms. Moore’s deftness of hand lends itself seamlessly to her methodology. Utilizing the wood grain as a landscape to influence her compositions, some sections are left unfinished and others are highly rendered. The level of completion is an evolving collaboration between the organic drawing ‘style’ present and the wood panel itself.

A day at the MET
Spent the day yesterday walking the Metropolitan Museum of Art on 81st and 5th Ave. Its been over 10 years since my last visit (god I feel old), and I forgot how HUGE that museum is. I tried to go through the whole thing, but it must be about a weeks worth of walking….So pretty much just walked around and stumbled into places and eras that seemed interesting.
Loved the Victorian rooms:
Saw plenty of sculptures and paintings. Saw my favorite painters and also took detail pictures of their brushwork. Painters such as Van Gogh, Gauguin and Cezanne really get me in the mood to paint. I love their colors, the richness of the paint, the brushwork and subject matters. I adore the tropical still-lifes and landscapes. They remind me of Venezuela and my godmother, who’s first oil paint lesson for me was a mango still-life on her backporch over-looking the Maracaibo Lake.
Detail of Van Gogh’s ‘Shoes’ 1888
Also swung by the SUPERHEROES exhibit, which was surprisingly small and overly hyped for what it is..as well as the Jeff Koons sculptures on the Rooftop garden. the view was great…the sculptures… meh. I did get a kick of the reflections.
I love the MET. one of my favorites. So much history and so much art. I need a free week to walk it all.
Morrison Hotel Gallery
On my way home from work yesterday I noticed a new gallery where CBGB’s use to live. I had little time to really study the pieces, but I did take some photos of the work.

Robert Rauschenberg
I was walking around 5th ave. and 68th and ran into a gallery which was showing Robert Rauschenberg’s work. I will write soon about the show. But for now you can view most of it on my flickr page. I really enjoyed this find.
