~WALTER ROBINSON . . summer heat !!

JEFFREY DEITCH . . presented a mini-retrospective of Walter’s work, this past SEPT 2016.
in his large space on Wooster St. in Soho.
it really helped move Walter’s work . . up the food chain.

here’s 2 shots from that landmark exhibit:


WALTER ROBINSON . . early spin paintings, 1986.
enamel on canvas, 36 x 36 in.
Walter’s spin paintings . . are SO !! friggin’ off the chart !!
so friggin’ intense – they seem to predict . . . CGI / digital animation.


WALTER ROBINSON . . acrylic on bed sheet paintings, 96 x 66 in.
pulp fiction themes / Walter’s signature genre.
these seem to be the paintings, which Vito is showing in his St. Moritz / high-end digs right now.

~WALTER ROBINSON: REVENGE OF THE UNDER-RATED

LOL: bet Walter is on speed dial, now . . with his new BFF Julian (Schnabel) !!

these are some of the many early, Walter Robinson paintinings, me and R.I.P. hubby SIMON CERIGO, . . owned back in the early 80s . .


WALTER ROBINSON, ‘Revenge’, 1982. acrylic on canvas, 40 x 30 in.

SIMON CERIGO, R.I.P . . at Kate or Theo’s kiddie birthday party, ca. 1988 ?

back in the day:
Kate, me (NANCY SMITH) and SIMON CERIGO – in our storefront at 5 Rivington St, just up from the Bowery.
Lower East Side, NYC. ca. 1991.
note the WALTER ROBINSON canvas – to the top right.


we even had a WALTER ROBINSON ‘pharmaceutical’ painting in our kitchen. ca. 1994.

~YUSUKE HANAI . . sing like a bird, not.


YUSUKE HANAI / image: Seeing Things Gallery

I see they are dusting off the Cold War era . . nuke shelters.
not, a good sign.
whatever are they thinking ? Bikini Atoll is still inhabitable, more than 60 years on.
see: ‘This is where the govt will Hide & even start a new civilization’ . . NEW YORK POST

I saw a documentary this weekend on Native American basket making, also . .
not, a good sign.
the master craftsman/artist basket weaver said that . . the 2 trees that are essential for the weaving strips, used since the beginning of Native times, are the ash and the birch tree.
both trees are under assault by deadly, invasive out-of-control & prob beyond control (!!) micro beetles. genocide of trees is the catch-phrase.
see: ‘An insect that has killed’. . Observer
he didn’t seem that concerned, because he added . . only about 1/4 of the trees around where he lives, have been destroyed – so far.

how much longer til they are all gone ?
2 years ?
4 years ?
25 years ? I bet 25 years tops it.

new age plastic weaving strips – up next.

I don’t even want to speculate . . on nuclear winter.
