| Matthew Miller at Pocket Utopia, 191 Henry St. LES |
 |
| The drawings transcribe painted self-portraits: portraiture filtered through painting |
|
 |
| Firm and soft edges |
|
 |
| The original, the twice-removed portrait (transcribed from a painting) |
 |
| Gina Magid at Feature (continuing from end of next post) |
 |
| She has a beautiful, raw immediate touch, and makes great reversals |
 |
| Here is one--atmosphere and volume reverse density |
 |
| Doubling of candlesticks and hands: lighter and denser |
 |
| Judy Linn: street view on street, fresh and beautiful |
 |
| Even the sidewalk looks good: was this signed?! |
 |
| Mary Weatherford's New York paintings--about when she lived here in the 1990s |
 |
| They are painted on heavy linen, almost a jute: denser than you'd think |
 |
| A real beauty; splashier than most |
 |
| Weirder |
 |
| Doreen McCarthy and Ivelesse Jiminez at Cuchifritos |
 |
| Jiminez - love the top left turn into space |
 |
| McCarthy: smaller, lighter works |
 |
| McCarthy looking the best I've ever seen: delicately notched openings for each piece to interlock and cast shadows | | |

There is more to post, including Valerie Hagarty at Beauchene and Jen Mazza at Stoyanov. There is also Jason Andrew's To Be A Lady opening Monday, 9/24/12, at 1258 Avenue of the Americas (between 51st and 52nd Streets). Do-able to see Matthew Miller's uptown show at CG Boener, 23 E 73rd beforehand. My eye and thinking about painting is galvanized and I'm inspired to return to the studio.
Elisabeth, I love the Mary Weatherford pieces-I could go swimming in them or better yet, through them. I especially love the Chinatown piece, and the one you coined "Weirder". Great works on here, as always.
