The Wrapture is Here—It’s not the end of the world and it’s not yet time for Christmas promotions, but here we have the Wrapture at Walter Wickiser Gallery. Nice work by Mark Travers opening up Thursday night. Check it out.
Warming Up—Nice shows for this Thursday night. A couple of classic image makers on view. Consantin Brancusi, the mentor for Isamu Noguchi, has works on view at Paul Kasmin gallery and Danziger has Inge Morath and artist Saul Steinberg’s cool collaborations of bag masks that are fun and creative. Definitely worth checking out. Always for a warm festive spirit head over to the Mike Weiss gallery and check out new work by Michael Zelehoski.
Nature and Abstraction—Nice set of openings this Thursday night. Joshua Liner Gallery has two openings, the first featuring the work by Tiffany Bozic. She paints from nature and goes out into the wild to experience the wild environment first hand. Unix gallery features Alfredo Scaroina, an Abstract painter which is next door to Berry Campbell which is showing abstract work from the estate of Stephen Pace. Check it out.

Future Tense
Jonathan Levine Gallery NYC
Great show by this intensely realistic painter. The images are a real look into the souls of the subjects, but something is off and completely unsettling. As if something is too good to be true. Many paintings reveal the dark side of this saccharin beauty. Most of the paintings are sold, but you can still check it out in person.

Mary Boone Gallery NYC
Beautirul “Kites” that have been hand painted and designed individually fill the Mary Boone Gallery with a riot of color and depth. It feels like a million Marimekko designs come to life on colorful rice paper kites. Super friendly and super fun. This is a must see show. Check it out.
