Audio commentary

There is so much texture, brush stroke, and layering in this painting. The artists hand is very present in the work. There is no pretense in this work, it is just a lovely little painting.

Leigh Anne Lester

Formally Leigh Anne's work is really accessible, conceptually she works with really complex ideas of genetic modification and its effects. Her work is approachable but once you begin to peel back the layers it becomes much more complicated.

Varities That Were

Eduardo Portillo

The way Portillo juxtaposes edges, shapes, and lines is really intriguing. He builds a quiet and poetic tension in the work that I find really attractive.

The sophistication of balance in this work drew me immediately. This walks a line between sculpture and painting that is nuanced and poetic.

Cary Leibowitz

Leibowitz's sarcasm, humor and simplicity really called to me. It's okay to laugh, and it's okay for art to make you laugh.

Winter's painting is a moment of calm, a pause that allowed the viewer a moment to simply see.

Diaz's campiness and art as entertainment illuminates the humor in simple gestures and vernacular materials.

I am a huge fan of Jesse Amado's work, and for good reason. He has had a long and prolific career. This piece is both delicate and captivating. 

Widespread Rumors of Dystopia #4

Walking through an art fair of any kind, either digital or in person is always an overdose of information. During art fairs I tend to just allow myself to gravitate to work that catches my eye and stands out either for its beauty, or its humor. Letting go and just enjoying the experience of looking makes the experience so much more fun and means much less pressure. This selection is a grouping of work that drew me in and made me smile.
