David Mann
Sympathetic Strings
Margret Thatcher Projects
Abstract paintings that have a great deal of layers based on the idea of Sympathetic Strings, or strings that lie below other strings that aren’t plucked but still resonate the sound. Visually powerful and emanatic with a centrifical force.
Sam Friedman
Happy Place
Joshua Liner Gallery
Multiples and variations of lines, shapes, shocking colors and suns are typical of Sam Friedman’s abstract paintings at this show. Part of it feels very memphis in its style and experimentation. I’m feeling a strong 1980’s vibe here. Check it out through February 14, 2015.
James Austin Murray
Mystery of Light
James Murray (pictured above with art collector Monica Welsh) at the Lyons Wier Gallery. It was great to speak with the artist in person and get a sense of his technique and process regarding construction of these amazing conceptual pieces that undulate in their inky darkness. Check it out.
