(Drivebycuriosity) - New York`s fast gentrifying Lower East Side became a
magnet for the bridge-and-tunnel crowd and an infamous party &
nightlife center. But the neighborhood is also a mecca of art with
dozens of respectable art galleries.
Thierry Goldberg on Norfolk Street belongs to the most interesting galleries on LES.
This week I saw there again an interesting group exhibition - called "Snow Day" (
thierrygoldberg). Above you can see my favorite:
Marcela Florido's "Retiro" (2018 Oil on canvas, 60 x 58 inches). The artist (b. 1988, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) lives and works in Brooklyn, NY. Accroding to the press release "Florido uses her work to confront traditions in painting, and investigate where they come from and what histories they communicate. She employs figuration to challenge artistic traditions of her native Brazil, where figuration in art is not widely accepted; women’s bodies, in particular, are often seen as taboo, especially for a woman artist to portray. Combined with her use of bright colors and unbalanced compositions". Anyway, I love this painting, the painted girl looks fresh & alluring like a tropical fruit.
Above you can see 2 images by
Isaac Mann: "The Dinner Party" followed by "The Sleepover" (both 2018, Oil on canvas). I guess these pictures speak for themselves.
