Art, Coffee, Tea and Blogs

This month I thought I would use the title of my blog as a index for some very interesting sites.

First off there’s Art so let’s take a look at some


Stolen Bacons

Christies-auction-with-Francis-Bacon

Spanish police have made seven arrests in relation to the theft of five Francis Bacon paintings from a private home in Madrid earlier this year with an estimate combined worth of €25 million (approximately $28 million).


 

The mystery of Caravaggio’s death solved at last – painting killed him

One of my favorite art videographers, James Kalm

Jasper Johns, Luiz Zerbini and Thornton Dial

With the belated approach of summer, James Kalm, finds himself in Chelsea and with trusty camera in hand, records exhibitions that he hopes this world-wide viewer-ship will appreciate. The tour begins at the Matthew Marks Gallery with a walk through of Jasper Johns Monotypes. This iconic American artist has been innovating and reevaluation the practice of print making and graphics since the mid 1950s. This show presents over thirty years of work from the “Crosshatching” series of the early 1970s to his latest plates depicting a grieving soldier. West on 22nd Street, we pop into Sikkema Jenkins & Co. and view “Perhappiness” by Brazilian painter Luiz Zerbini. This exhibition shows a breadth of vision, scale and technique all within a knowing employment for current free form abstraction. Lastly, Thornton Dial’s “We All Live Under the Same Old Flag” at Marianne Boesky Gallery is a look back at the work of one of America’s most beloved “Outsider” artists.

“Pattern Women” my new book

In the wake of being selected by Barebrush.com to have one of my artworks from the “Pattern Woman” series in their June 2016 calendar, I’ve created a new book featuring a more extensive view of additional works.

Deconstructed Landscape Painting

I have recently begun a series of paintings exploring what I call Landscape Deconstruction. I am reducing the colors, elements and tools used to create the work to essentials. I am using acrylic stains and watercolors with a limited pallet. The shapes that are formed or discovered either by accident or design are intriguing in that they create depth and narrative more expressionist than abstract. This is just deceloping so if you have a comment or suggestion please feel free to add it.

These works are on display in Albany Ga.
