(Drivebycuriosity) - New York City is a paradise for art lovers. There are so many art shows & events. One of them is the
Governors Island Art Fair 2016 (
4heads). The event happens on a tiny island south of Manhattan (5 minutes ferry ride) on every weekend in September (here my reports from
2014 2015 I 2015 II ).
Again the hosts allotted about 100 rooms to 100 artists. Each artist could design a room for herself.
The result is a huge variety of styles and ideas. Last Sunday my wife
& I visited the fair. Here I show my favorites from this
visit - as usual a very subjective selection. Above you can see work by
Ekaterina Vanaovskaya, all oil on linen (
vanovskaya).
The astronaut above (oil on linen) is created by
Aleksandar Popovic (
apopovic).
Above some paintings by
E. Thurston Belmer (

The drawing above is China ink on British white scratch- board (about 20 inches by 24 inches) by
Scott Gillis (

Above another drawing, this one is by
Antonia Andrioti (

Ed Grant (

Abstracts by
Vince Contarino (Acrylic on canvas

Chris Chatterson (Acrylic and transfer on canvas
kchatterson) also caught my eyes.
Funny Collages
I enjoyed the funny collages by
Bernice Sokol Kramer as well (

Butcher`s Daughter
"When I was young, my parents owned a butcher shop", explains the Korean artist
Seungwhui Koo her pig-shaped sculptures & drawings (
kooseunghwui).
Enjoy!
