Asgar/Gabriel: Bucolica Obscura
Since 2005, the young Vienna-based artists Daryoush Asgar and Elisabeth Gabriel of Asgar/Gabriel, have been collaborating on a radically contemporary form of figurative painting. Drawing upon historical movements such as baroque, pop art, and abstract expressionism, while referencing contemporary developments in graffiti and photo-realism, the duo create intricately layered canvases in which linear narrative falls prey to the chaos of our image saturated times....

Ryan McGinness Works
by Ariston AndersonThe beauty of a Ryan McGinness show is not only that passing through the gallery doors is entering into the world of McGinness, but that each painting fully consumes your attention once you start looking. Like their name implies, each multi-layered screenprinted work from the Black Hole series has the remarkable ability to suck viewers in. Similar to a Jackson Pollack or a...

Vanessa Chakour: Innerscapes
Artist, athlete, and activist Vanessa Chakour's abstract artwork is a vivid display of her stream of consciousness on canvas. With bold colors and shapes, her curious pieces are harmonious but come about through the chaotic interaction of an evolving sense of self and artistic expression. Her first one-woman exhibition entitled "Innerscapes" opens tonight at the Ambrosia Gallery in New Rochelle, NY. Innerscapes Opening reception:...

Buff Monster: The Sweetest Thing
L.A.-based artist Buff Monster is doing what he does best (bubbly, mostly pink creatures and shapes) for his latest show, "The Sweetest Thing," opening next week at Culver City's Corey Helford Gallery.
