Jill Downen: Hard Hat Optional at Bruno David Gallery, April 10-May 9, 2009. The gallery’s website shows has two pages, each showing different works in the exhibit. One for the front room, and one for the main gallery. I’m probably not going to get a chance to make it over to the STL to see the show. So, just judging from jpegs, it’s the Hybrida drawings in the front room that seem to me to be the most exciting. Like that unnerving, overly flesh-y minimalism. I’m just not sure if the works in the main gallery have that uncanny I-don’t-know-what. Check out her website to see if you agree.
Here are a couple of Hybrida.

Not exactly breaking news (the show closes tomorrow), but Scott Noel‘s exhibiting new work right now at Gross McCleaf in Philly. I’m intrigued by this body of work. I usually think of him as having a kind of perceptual/observational gravitas thing in relation to the motif. With that as the precedent, some of these new paintings are borderline whimsical. (New paintings are at the top of the page on the link).

Betsy Stirratt: Afterimage
Posted in Painting, tagged Art, Betsy Stirratt, Chicago, Packer Schopf Gallery, Painting on April 2, 2009| 3 Comments »
Betsy Stirratt Afterimage at Packer-Schopf Gallery in Chicago, April 3-May 9, 2009. From the artist’s statement: Color systems are drawn from sources as varied as natural settings, preset palettes, observation, color forecasting and predictions, events, and momentary experiences. These experiences can be banal and ordinary, exciting and stimulating, but the interaction of the colors allow for the possibilities of anxiety, happiness, calm, stress and foreboding.
