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.

Andrea (pictured above) is shown with her large format photography shot on location in Antarctica with a small team. Nice contrast between the flowing colorful fabric visuals and the icey coolness of the icebergs. Check it out.

Thursday Night Chelsea Gallery Party Map (4-3-14)

New Gallery in Town—Jonathan LeVine Gallery is opening a new gallery at the end of 23rd street (x11th). He had 2 pop-up shows (How & Nosm and WK) in this space before, which were wildly successful. Artists Anonymous from Berlin and London uses visuals that are a negative/positive take on Alice in Wonderland with video projections and a completely immersive environment resembling a life-sized pop-up book.

Fables & India Song

Danziger Gallery

The artist and her work. Very warm and gentle personality. Great to meet her in person. Her work is a beautiful mix of tantalizing imagery from India. Karen mixes the amazing architecture with exotic animals creating a remarkable tableau that is at the same time warm and a little unsettling. Check it out.
