New York Armory Arts Week

Dana Córdova — Tue, 01 Mar 2011 14:01:03 +0000

Today I am starting to get excited about going down to New York this Friday for Armory Arts Week where I will be running around shooting photos of New American Paintings artists for our blog. I’ll be hitting Armory Show, VOLTA, Pulse and hopefully Scope. Be sure to check out the New American Paintings’ Blog next week for highlights. Just thinking about the trip, makes me nostalgic for my days at SVA.
And, I am reminded of this great odd to New York by Jerry Saltz that breaks my heart a little bit every time I read it.

So, they have done it again: A great new album that feels like a nice evolution from InRainbows and a fantastic video for the first single Lotus Flower. His signature jig deserved to be immortalized in the this art-house style video.

I am so taken by this project by artist/illustrator Jules Julian of Hugo & Martin.
The use of pattern and duo-chromatic symbols is just fantastic.

Art, fun, exhaustion…

Back from a fantastic time at Art Basel Miami Beach. I loved seeing tons of amazing art, meeting great people, eating delicious food and staying up way too late…Here are some pics from the week.

And some good wrap up reads from the Huffington Post, NY Times, and my company’s blog, New American Paintings

Chuck Webster at the Steven Zevitas Gallery

Dana Córdova — Sat, 20 Mar 2010 19:23:41 +0000

Our current show at the gallery is a must see. Webster is one of a new generation of abstract painters who are breathing new life into the genre—yet, being in the gallery feels like you just walked into a show that could have been shown in New York in the 50s. Drawing from a variety of sources, his biomorphic forms are both ecclectic and iconic—conjuring up a variety of ideas as to where his forms could have come from. Chuck Webster: New Work will be on view through April 17th and the artist will be present for a reception Friday, April 2nd, 5:30-7:30pm.
