I def was, so . . feeling a kindred, magical, ‘impish’ . . spirit.

painterly faces by . . GRETA DONAHUE.
the randomness / the diversity / the infinite parade of so much unique expression – was a big part of the excitement.
foraging for art / seriously !!

foraging for art / seriously !!
foraging for art / seriously !!
you had to be quick, the moment you put something down, in hesitation, it was gone.
and then you felt real bad, as it walked away – to another home !!
ps: you could also, in a blink: turn around, and come face-to-face . . with the main exhibit.
the space between the tables, laden with GIFC !!
and, the formal exhibit walls – was excitingly, perilously – lit purple, and very narrow.
I hadn’t really noticed til then – that THE HOLE gallery walls, were actually ’rounded’ where they meet the floor.
a way to break down that . . White Cube ?
very very nice.
I mean, seriously: rounded corners, too.
and seriously, you could turn around & look at the exhibit too.
RY DAVID BRADLEY.

ANGELA LEYVA . . .

‘primitive’, loose / realist paintings of birch branches . . holding smokin’ ciggies ?
