Contemporary Art: Enemy Who Must Be Loved @ Ierimonti Gallery New York

 

(Drivebycuriosity) - New York`s Lower East Side (LES) is infamous for her party scene where bridge & tunnel people carouse all night long. But the district also is a center of art with a cluster of ambitious art galleries. Yesterday I discovered a newcomer in the scene: Ierimonti Gallery on Delancey Street, which opened in September (ierimonti). They display paintings by Nebojša Despotović. The show is called "Enemy who must be loved" (through  November 10, 2017). I show here some of my favorites from the exhibition, a very subjective selection as usual.

According to the press release the artist uses "old photographs as a starting point and explores the identity from the alterations that were made from paint, adding vitality and relevance to the outdated images" (exhibitions).
 

I enjoy the economic style of the artist ( born in 1982, Belgrade, Serbia, he currently lives in Berlin, Germany). His images are somewhat spooky & sinister but fascinating. But let the pictures speak for themselves.

As a bonus I add some "Car Drawings" by William A Hall. I found these works @ gallery Andrew Edlin on 212 Bowery  (edlingallery).
