WADE GUYTON & STEPHEN PRINA at Petzel gallery. Wade Guyton uses the idiosyncrasies of plotters to create repetitive forms. He’s always looking for the glitch that creates a unique piece of art. Check it out through May 2, 2015

WILLEM DE ROOIJ Rye Wonk, Petzel Gallery. Very Mundane visuals and giant flower arrangements. The walls are covered with handwoven, abstract tapestries that barely draw the eye. Painstaking work that creates a kind of Field Painting effect. Check it out through May 2, 2015

Joyce Pensato

Castaway

Petzel Gallery

Composed of cartoon characters rendered huge with super drippy and roughly hewn look. This massive paintings feel very urgent and quick, drawing you in with its familiarity, yet unsettling that image with a sinister side. In an anterior room are images rephotographed from her studio wall that gives an insight on how she works. Check it out until March 28, 2015.

John Stezaker

New Silkscreens and the Movie “Blind”

Petzel Gallery NYC

John is a master of assemblage with movie stills from the 50’s and 60’s. He’s been at it for 30 years and the creative output is amazing. These new silkscreens are a revisit to work created in the late 70’s. Powerful and hypnotic film nior silhouettes captivate the mind. The movie blind is shot from existing film stills, each different and run at a mesmerizing pace of 24 per second. My ears started ringing and definitely felt uneasy watching the onslaught of old movie images into my brain. Exhausting. Check it out.
