TWO COATS OF PAINT
Two Coats Selected Gallery Guide: May 2021. May 5, 2021. Frieze New York arrives last week at the Shed in Hudson Yards for a four day post-lockdown reunion, but tickets are sold out, so perhaps you’ll want to check out the galleries instead. Don’t miss “Glyphadelphia” a big goup show at Hess Flatow, Keltie Ferris atMitchell-Innes and
ASHLEY GARRETT’S DYNAMIC PASTORAL Ashley Garrett, Lucaria, 2020, 10 x 14 inches. The small scale of the majority of the work nicely serves the pastoral concept of the meadow: a place of respite, slowed time, and stable form seen through a pinhole into a complete world. So often when attempting to paint nature, a painter defaults to a gestalt computation of blade, stem, orflower.
CAMERON ROWLAND: TRUTH THAT LIES BETWEEN OBJECT AND TEXT Contributed by Laurie Fendrich / If you’re looking for pure beauty, or merely a tiny aesthetic tingle, Cameron Rowland’s exhibition is not for you. Contemplating his art in an aesthetic sense is as misguided as looking for cooking tips in a boxing match. Granted, the objects he selects for his KATHERINE BRADFORD: CONSOLED AND CONSOLER Katherine Bradford, Fever, 2021, acrylic on canvas, 80 x 68 inches. “Mother Paintings” is a heartfelt meditation on raising other beings – children, paintings – and being raised oneself. Bradford also grapples with her own legacy and with the legacies of her predecessors, be they relatives or fellow artists, asking vitalquestions about
ROBIN HILL’S ACTS OF UNNAMING Robin Hill, Delta College, installation view, 2020. Contributed by Elizabeth Whalley / In a genre-defying practice, Robin Hill queries the nature of her sensory entanglements with the everyday world. Embracing a vast array of materials, playing with scale and dimensions, blurring modes of expression, she transforms her spontaneous encounters with substances and objects into mystifying DAVID REED: A PAINTER'S LIFE At Peter Blum, the looping brushstrokes and open surfaces of David Reed’s remarkably spare site-specific installation are anything but casual. Entering the gallery, the viewer is faced with a 40-foot long multi-panel horizontal piece along the far wall. From a distance, it’s easy to imagine an old-school action painter laying ON A CARTOON GRAVEYARD Alex Kovacs, Fernando Pintado, and Craig Taylor in “Cartoon in a Cartoon Graveyard,” installation view, at Super Dutchess.

If you’re in Berlin in June, don’t miss French painter Bernard Piffaretti’s show at Klemm’s.

CAMERON ROWLAND: TRUTH THAT LIES BETWEEN OBJECT AND TEXT Contributed by Laurie Fendrich / If you’re looking for pure beauty, or merely a tiny aesthetic tingle, Cameron Rowland’s exhibition is not for you. Contemplating his art in an aesthetic sense is as misguided as looking for cooking tips in a boxing match. Granted, the objects he selects for his DAVID REED: A PAINTER'S LIFE At Peter Blum, the looping brushstrokes and open surfaces of David Reed’s remarkably spare site-specific installation are anything but casual.

Contributed by Jonathan Stevenson / France produces some superb television, but you could be forgiven for entertaining skepticism about L’Art du Crime, which at first blush scans as one extended meet-cute: a tough, dyspeptic, and uncultured flic is in the doghouse and gets YULIA IOSILZON: TRAPPED IN PARADISE Yulia Iosilzon, The Fear of Orange Water (The Shower), 2019, oil and silicone on synthetic silk, 70.5 in x 55 inches. Yulia Iosilzon, installation view. Iosilzon provides little specific context, suggesting a utopian environment whose inhabitants are reluctant to depart, happily trapped in paradise.

ASHLEY GARRETT’S DYNAMIC PASTORAL Ashley Garrett, Lucaria, 2020, 10 x 14 inches. The small scale of the majority of the work nicely serves the pastoral concept of the meadow: a place of respite, slowed time, and stable form seen through a pinhole into a complete world. So often when attempting to paint nature, a painter defaults to a gestalt computation of blade, stem, orflower.
ROBIN HILL’S ACTS OF UNNAMING Robin Hill, Delta College, installation view, 2020. Contributed by Elizabeth Whalley / In a genre-defying practice, Robin Hill queries the nature of her sensory entanglements with the everyday world. Embracing a vast array of materials, playing with scale and dimensions, blurring modes of expression, she transforms her spontaneous encounters with substances and objects into mystifying DAVID REED: A PAINTER'S LIFE At Peter Blum, the looping brushstrokes and open surfaces of David Reed’s remarkably spare site-specific installation are anything but casual.

After doing a little research, I learned that Agnes Magruder was Gorky’s young wife.

RICHARD REZAC’S GRAND DOMESTICITY 10:46 am by Editorial Assistant Contributed by Rachel Youens / Richard Rezac, a Chicago-based sculptor, is having his first solo show at Luhring Augustine Chelsea. Rezac’s abstract sculptures are supra-sensual forms. His method of slow, deliberate decision-making yields a heightened sensuality that suggests many things at once.

For years I thought I disliked his work, especially the late paintings: too saccharine and repetitious. But I became enamored by his early efforts when I saw Chagall, Lissitzky, Malevich: The Russian Avant-Garde in Vitebsk, 1918–1922, … read more… “Anywhere Out of the World: Chagalland me”
