[REVIEW] BLUE COLLAR BALTIMORE: NEW AMERICAN REALISM, paintings by Tony Shore

11/15/2019

|

REVIEW BY M. SULLIVAN

Taking Your Shit | Tony Shore

“They don’t photograph well,” Tony Shore says, laughing, “so I need to get people in front of them.” Looking at the image printed on the press release, then looking at the work itself, it’s easy to see how right he is.

2/23/2019

Thank you to Anthony Haden-Guest for this great article discussing Johan's Wahlstrom's solo exhibition at Ethan Cohen KuBe. 

"There are artists who like to investigate what they can do with current tech, the way Warhol made movies, as David Hockney has used video and seemingly just about any device that comes his way, as Richard Prince uses Instagram and as a slew of artists are using Photoshop but not that many artists have thoug...

2/21/2019

Chi Ming at Art Miami

12/7/2018


Thank you to artnet news for including Chi Ming as an artist to see at this years Art Miami!

"Amid the many splashy works on view at Art Miami, Ming’s diminutive, diamond-shaped canvases with deft brushstrokes stand out. His subject matter homes in on ordinary, everyday scenes of life in China. He also paints scenes from his childhood, and fading memories of his family which impart a melancholy, nostalgic air."

Great article on the late Ivorian artist Frédéric Bruly Bouabré in Hyperallergic. Works by Frédéric Bruly Bouabré are currently on display at Ethan Cohen Gallery.

Thank you to Jonathan Goodman for this excellent writeup on Yu Hanyu's solo exhibition at Ethan Cohen Kube, Force of Nature: The Power of the Brush.

"The magnificent work in ink titled Lonely Soul, Cold Mountain, and Freezing Rocks (2018) (Lonely soul, cold mountain and frozen rocks) implicates us in a similar way, so that what appear tall and thin evergreens on a ridge, illuminated by a partially painted moon, conveys nature in a...
