Luka Fineisen: Bubbles

LF_BubblesBfromdavids

The work of artist Luka Fineisen seems like it may exist for only a moment. Giant bubbles are scattered throughout the gallery floor. The size of the bubbles are contrasted by their seeming fragility. Fineisen in this way freezes a tense moment, stretching a delicate life long enough for close inspection. The gallery’s reflection on each bubble reminds the viewer of the delicate and temporal

Mary Hellen Johnson: Mouth Watering

pbj_progress_mary_Ellen_Johnson

Mary Ellen Johnson has created a series of dessert paintings. The realism of her work is impressive. Upon first glance, the images appear to be photographs; closer inspection, however, reveals that these works are indeed paintings. The artist’s touch is so light and supple that brushstrokes are impossible to find. In fact, there are few hints of the artist’s work at all.

James Hollingsworth: True Life

100804

American artist, born 1954. James Neil Hollingsworth was raised in Marietta, Georgia. Shockingly, with the exception of a few life drawing classes in the 1970’s, Hollingsworth is a self-taught artist. His early adulthood was spent in a variety of disciplines. After high school, he served in the U.S. Air Force, and later worked as a licensed aircraft mechanic. He had his own typesetting business for

Park Seung Mo: Spirals Of Steel

park-6

Vyner Street is one of London’s must-visit places for contemporary art and has recently added Korean contemporary gallery, HADA CONTEMPORARY to its list of galleries. (The quiet street was very different from the one I remebered from the first Thursday openings). The appearance of the gallery from outside is distinctive with soft grey colours and no decoration or windows. Waiting at the entrance for the

Anders Krisár: Visions Of A Missing Double

2-Anders-Krisar-christian-larsen-yatzer

This is touching. An exhausted phrase, perhaps, though to be touched is what we want, possibly more than ever. But what does it mean to be touched? At the very least, along the porous lines of the seen, felt, and heard, to be touched is to encounter the trace of an Other, either face-to-face or along the course of centuries. When registered, being touched can

Christina Chalmers: Love Letters to the Nature

“You are the fiery life of divine substance, you blaze above the beauty of the fields, you shine in the waters, you burn in sun, moon and stars.” — Hildegard Von Bingen “In archetypal symbolism, clothing represents persona, a kind of camouflage which lets others know only what we wish them to know about us and nothing more. We are often “clothed” in our own

Roger Ballen: Asylum of the Birds

“I have been shooting black and white film for nearly fifty years now. I believe I am part of the last generation that will grow up with this media. Black and White is a very minimalist art form and unlike color photographs does not pretend to mimic the world in a manner similar to the way the human eye might perceive. Black and White is

Paola Angelini spent three months in Norway during the spring and summer of 2014 as artist-in-residence at the Nordic Artists’ Center (NKD) in Dale, Sunnfjord. Dale is located midway between fjord and mountain in the Dalsfjorden and is a small rural community with a population of 3,000. The nearest town is 150 km away.

Jim Hodges: Metal Rock

Hodges_Gladstone

For the last two decades, Hodges has utilized a broad range of materials — both precious and commonplace — to transform quotidian objects into reflective sculptures. Merging the personal, political and universal, Hodges seeks to evince the immemorial; timeless discourses of identity, loss, mortality and love. Using manipulated, mirror-like elements — inspired by his recent trip to India — Hodges features a greater focus on
