contemporary excavations

Calm before tomorrow’s storm. Caught a glimpse of Mark Bradford’s work at Sikkema Jenkins & Co. in Chelsea. Large scale mixed-media paintings – using a very interesting layering technique and subtractive method. A very physical approach to image-making, with collage elements, stencils, cuts, gouging, and what appears to be sanding of the surface to expose

Thru the eyes of Aldwyth

Artist Aldwyth creates highly detailed, large-scale collage works which are conglomerates of art history, encyclopedia and magazine images. Basically anything she can get her hands on, she will glue some eyes on!!! A feast for the eye, really. Visually stunning.
