Detail, Snyder

Barnaby Furnas going studio in Tower of Song at Marianne Boesky.

Working with the pour as he has for years in a more complex way

In which the male painter dons brushes rather than the Civil War muskets of earlier work

There's an island vibe to these paintings, a feeling of internal paradise.

Angelina Gualdoni in Verso della Terra at Asya Geisberg also working with pours (on canvas).

She "prints" her line with string, much like Ross Lewis, dear friend from Shanghai (RIP).

Where she once worked with dye pours, she now digs into the earth, reflecting deep interests in mycology and rhizosphere.

The deservedly much-discussed Sha Garg Foundation exhibition Making Their Mark, curated by Cecilia Alemani at 548 West 22nd St., "supporting scholarship and public engagement highlighting the achievements and innovations of women artists." Here, Jutta Koether. 


And beloved idol Jennifer Bartlett's enamel Testor panels!



Carrie Moyer

Charlene von Heyl 

Howardena Pindell's embodied painting

The great Benglis pours that are so inspiring me right now, this one 9 x 16 feet approximately

What a room: Benglis, Corse, Tawney

Janet Sobel, the original OG of Ab Ex
Komal Shah, after a vibrant career in tech, teamed with husband Guarav Garg to found the Shah Garg Collection emphasizing women artists! Congratulations! 


One way

Another way



If you peer, you can see the vibrant blue at bottom. It's obviously much better in person!


A lovely lavender base. I'm so grateful to this artist for her contemplative, quiet work--and her books, as well. She lived a full life and shared its bounty.

Lou Fratino at Sikkema Jenkins, going Ophelia in his third show with the gallery, in bed and abroad.
This exhibition among others shows a hunger for low-intensity earth color palettes.

















Fran Shalom at Kathryn Markel in Taking the Backward Step, which positions her work as a form of meditation. https://www.markelfinearts.com/exhibitions/163/overview/

Oil on wood reconfigurations of daily life as quirky shapes and color pairs



Her best show yet, with dynamic relationships between and within the paintings.

Quick trip to Rob Storr's curated show Retinal Hysteria at Venus over Manhattan (39 Jones). Steve di Beneditto, relatively small canvases.



Gladys Nilsson - love these


A wonderful Julia Jacquette incorporating toys inside consumer scapes

A simply ravishing Dana Schutz work on paper from 2023.
This show just opened--hasten! There are two venues just doors from each other--consider this an apetizer.
