(Drivebycuriosity) - Contemporary art is full of surprises. On a resent walk on Manhattan`s popular Bowery I spotted an interesting show @ gallery Plato. The art dealer displayed works by Alic Brock. The show is called "When Shadows Forget Their Master" (Plato). I show here my favorites, a very subjective selection as usual.
The press release explains: "Atlanta-based painter Alic Brock has developed a practice that merges digital manipulation with painterly precision. Each work begins as a collage of both found and personal imagery that is intentionally altered and translated to canvas using airbrush acrylics".
On top of this post you can see "Hidden Lover" (2025, acrylic on canvas, 48 x 36 in) followed by "Sailing Into the Light" & "Milk Splash".
Above this paragraph you can see: "Looking Glas" & "Puppet Master".
As a bonus I add 2 images from the second show at Plato. This exhibition displays works by Henry Hung Chang and is called: "Island and Its Visitors" ( plato). According to the press release the artist "spent his childhood in a Daoist temple in Taiwan, founded by his grandparents. The temple’s environment, in which religious practice, ritual, myth, and folk beliefs were woven into daily life, continues to shape Chang’s visual language".
Above you can see "The Swan, Under Moonlight" (2025,
watercolor and gesso on paper mounted on board, 58 x 22.5 in) and another image.
