Pieces of Note: Scope Art Fair

Posted on by

Byung-Chul Woo’s Seeing and other work at Young Art Gallery are beautifully intricate, yet simple, and the pops of color are well-placed. It’s an oil-on-canvas rendition of why I love living in NYC.

I wish I could find more details on it, or the work below.

Jordan Eagles at Krause Gallery

Made with blood. ‘Nuff Said. Although if you did want the details, its oxblood, acrylic, resin and copper, and it looks much better in person than in this photograph.

Makeup by Eric Finzi at SFA Projects

Marlene Dumas, much? Yet these figures on epoxy resin tell more of a story and make nice use of the medium.

Carlos Quintana, a Cuban artist I loved here, made a surprise appearance.

Note from Scope Art Fair: Performance

Posted on by

One of my surprise favorite parts of Scope Art Fair was the inclusion of performance pieces by the show itself. Come on Guy was a frat party in a booth that seemed amazingly fun and funny the other night– I’ll have to go back to see if they are still going strong.

But in addition to those pieces, one gallery really stood out in an excessive Baroque bacchanalia. Artists Wanted embraced performance with a a cast of four, a wine fountain and a sausage grinder. Altogether the performance pieces really enlivened the atmosphere and brought a festive air to the fair itself.
