Cool Hunting
Jason Young, the New York-based artist who makes "high-tech minimal 'trompe-l’oeuil'" paintings, has a show opening this Thursday, 15 March 2007, at NYC's Cristinerose gallery. The exhibition features recent works that layer resin and other materials over honeycomb alloy, a material used in the construction of airplanes, for an effect that adds surprising dimension. (To see his intensive process, watch this recent CH video.) Coupled with the subtle randomly ordered patterns, Jason's work has an organic—even cosmic—quality, while embracing both the artificial and sensual nature of his materials.

One would think a life out in Arizona would produce imagery of arid deserts and funny little plants that grow under such conditions. But Joe Sorren's paintings speak of hope, innocence and another world, with the bright sun rising high into the clouds over an endless ocean of dreams. Sorren's new painting "In the Morning, in the Tide," will show at Alix Sloan's new...
It's either the eye-pop effect of his palette or the graffiti tag sensibility of the brushstrokes that endear David Reed's new paintings to me. They just seem familiar. In what can feel like an austere and exclusive world of high culture and Chelsea art openings, his solo show opened with a mix of 20-something hipsters and beret-topped collectors. So it seemed like Reed achieved...
This isn't the first time that Brooklyn-based artist Joel Dugan has been featured on Cool Hunting. In 2005, his nautically themed octopus tees were being sold to raise money for arts education for underprivileged schoolchildren. Dugan continues to be produce, elaborating and improving on the timeless maritime theme in what is his solo debut in the port city of San Francisco where the Iowa-born...
