Contemporary Art: Painting: Now & Forever @ Greene Naftali Gallery New York

(Drivebycuriosity) - Manhattan`s Chelsea district is always worth a visit, there are so many classy art galleries. Last week I took a look into Greene Naftali gallery  (508 West 26th Street greenenaftaligallery ). They have a show called: Painting: Now & Forever, Part III (through August 17, 2018 gallery). According to the press release they have "over forty international artists working in a wide array of styles who together prove the vitality of contemporary painting". The first exhibition was in 1998, the second in 2008. I display here my favorites from the show, a very subjective selection as usual.


The visitors above are admiring 2 paintings by Nicole Eisenman: "Luck Lines" (2018, oil on canvas) & T.B. T (2018,  oil and collage on canvas).




Above this paragraph you can see 2 paintings by Allan D'Arcangelo: "Without Sound Two" (1982 Acrylic on Canvas) & "Pi in the Sky" (1981-1982 Acrylic on Canvas) followed by Ed Clark`s "TBC (HS #94)" (2005 Acrylic on canvas).




Above Helen Marten`s "Animal Hours" (2018, Silkscreen and paint in ash frame, cast Jesmonite, painted paper, galvanised nails) followed by Hervé Télémaque`s  "La boîte à malice (The bag of tricks)" (1963 Oil on canvas with a plastic sausage).
