The NY Times Fri. Art section has an amazing review today of a number of painting shows in Manhatten.
Painting is alive and well and it is a brilliant way to internalize existence, while acting in the real world of material and friction. The work above is by Judith Scott at James Cohan, a Down Syndrome artist who is part of the show "Everyday Abstract-Abstract Everyday" at James Cohan Gallery. The blue painting is mine, Spirit Spout", which is inspired by a reading of a chapter in Moby Dick. Painting Rules! Show me how you are excited by its possibilities next week. Do a piece that incorporates your life, your point-of-view in a bold unapologetic way--any material, any size...I love Judith Scott's use of a chair, for instance. See you Mon. No class Wed. due to holiday. Workshop all day Thurs and Fri. john.
