~LOLA & NICOLE, JESSICA . . UNRAVELING REALITIES / SEAN VEGEZZI, does too ..
‘UNRAVELING REALITIES’ – CURATED BY HASH HALPER & AMY LI
OCT 17-31, 2013
166 MOTT ST – LOWER EAST SIDE, NYC
that would be: LOLA MONTES, NICOLE WITTENBERG, and JESSICA BAJOROS
another apparition . . caught my eye.
a strange contrast of sharp lemon yellow vs. a steely blue grey.
LOLA MONTES, ‘Karma Cleanse’, oil and canvas, 2 panels, 6.5′ w x 5′ h
($18,000)
whoosh. one can get, so into . . how the abstract pink ‘cloud’ on the right, morphs into the narrative world on the left.
the ethereal power of a light, and light-filled .. hand.
at the opening:
AMY LI, LOLA MONTES, and NICOLE WITTENBERG . . in front of Lola’s painting.
NICOLE WITTENBERG, ‘Interior 2 (Snail Song)’, oil on canvas, 25 x 42 in.
($5,000)
really nice 2 tonal study. very cubist. should be a study in stark contrast, but is .. not !!
super nice visual contrast between reality and fantasy. reality and fiction. darkness and light. the pureness of white.
I guess the ‘white’ is the subject, and the narrative is that strange miniature-scaled doorway, and the squiggle lines .. to the right.
NICOLE WITTENBERG, her small minimalist composition is above her.
on the right is a small watercolor figure study by JESSICA BAJORES.
part of the dynamic, and really .. the charm of the gallery, is catching a glimpse of the ‘life’ just beyond the gallery walls. the Chinatown storefront is home to a leather accessory finishing .. workshop.
JESSICA BAJOROS had two watercolor portraits in the show.
JESSICA BAJOROS, ‘Henry Hopper’, watercolor on paper, framed. 25 x 21 in.
($1,000)
Henry Hopper is the son of Dennis Hopper. he seems to be a really nice kid, I talked to him briefly at his dad’s retrospective a few years back at Tony Shafrazi, at which time he was studying art, painting .. in California.
JESSICA BAJOROS, ‘Zha Zha Vi’, watercolor on paper, framed, 20.5 x 17 in.
($1,000)
photographer of street art, really .. ‘down-deep-in-the-subways’ street art / photographer supremo .. SEAN VEGEZZI.
something about a fall off a cliff, into water .. where there was no water.
just do yourself a favor this Sat & check out: SEAN VEGEZZI – ONLINE
3 smart, strong chicks ..
and one totally awesome, street smart photog .. what more is there to say ?
from the power of the glyphs, to the power of .. chicks.
ok, how’s this . . SEAN is all of 22.
I’ve been following his work – since he was 16, when I first crossed paths with him at the original CANAL CHAPTER / MINT + SERF = MIRF.
SEAN VEGEZZI unravels . . reality, too.
