A Dreary Saturday in Chelsea
A tormented, Burchfield-esque vision presented itself on a Chelsea street on Saturday, when the sinister weather puts Art and gallery visitors to the test.
Somewhat less torturous Charles Burchfield graphite drawings are on view at the nearby D’Amelio Terras Gallery.
Hunting rubber boots, worn in various colors, brought a cheerful note to the dark mood of the day.
Melting snow left a handful of Art Lovers stranded on slouchy snow banks with little chance of rescue from gallery assistants.
Ironic wiring in a Banks Violette installation at Gladstone – a sculpture which somehow formally echoed my hat. Being in a mundane state of mind, I wondered how one could vacuum between the wires without messing up the piece.
« Band of Bikers » at Zieher Smith presents a hundred fading 1970s snapshots of gay bikers found by the gallery owner in his building basement, among the discarded belongings of a recently deceased tenant.
I wonder where Hell’s Angel cap went.
thankyou for cracking open a smile……………………
The task of cleaning an installation IS fascinating!
I don’t mind being the only person with cream hunters.
Brilliant! Hilarious!
Greetns ó great and talented one,
Many continued thanks for your wonderful introspects, humour and divine art. It’s a priviledge.
Peace+Light,
C!!
Omg, I think I love you
I love this blog! Your drawings are tres drolle and tres magnifique. Are the pencil drawings a new direction? Are your gouaches
based on preliminary (on the spot) sketches in colored pencil?
I love your artwork! This picture in particular reminded me of how much I love going to art galleries just to soak in all the interesting outfits that people are wearing.
I want to feature you on my blog http://www.thestylemonster.com and put the unknown hipster on my blog roll. Let me know if that’s ok.
