...wondering in the city...
I totally traipsed around the city on Saturday and finally had my Lisa day. After going in and out of galleries all day I realized that I like my art comfortable and galleries are sort of cold. I feel really intimidated when I am there. Like they know that I couldn't afford anything in the place.
But I loved Jonathan LeVine gallery. One, was a couple with their daughter totally knocked out in her stroller, it sort of made me feel warm and fuzzy inside. Two, they had Tim Buskut and you can’t go wrong there, but they also had a husband wife team of Plankton that I totally totally loved. I realized (after doing a little research on them) that I had met them briefly when I went to see Douglas Little’s exhibit at Barney’s. They were performing as Lord Whimsy and wife, so I didn’t get to have a real conversation with them (we did talk about scuba diving which totally makes since they were originally going to be marine biologists), but I am totally impressed by their scope of work. The painted these great sea creatures on wood panels with postcards that were attached. I loved sort of seeing through the paint here and there to see the post cards. The slight texture behind gave a bit of depth to these hyper flat images.
I have been totally drawn to that idea. Painting of found paper and the like. Julie West has some great gecco prints on paper. I loved it in Damon Soule and Trish Grantham. Those images have been swirling around my mind for a while now and I wonder how it will play out.
The image above is a little teaser for my first ever trade. Should be making its way to Canada and Tiffany this week. What do you think of my robot logo?
