I’ve been involved in several off-season moves that will intensify my career as artist, dealer and art writer. New York City is on the very near horizon and I should be in position soon to conduct more studio visits, museum previews and exhibition reviews.

The Summer has also brought about the founding of my personal artist website. I’m offering up a new signed and numbered, archival, limited edition pigment print seven days a week. All of my artistic pursuits are updated daily on the site. Check in regularly to examine progress on my portfolio, ongoing projects and store. Please sign up here to receive a weekly digest via email highlighting all of the action.

Scroll down for a small selection of my work from this year. Two prints, a pair of photographs, a couple of projects, some paintings and now, yes, I have been branded with my own logo.

Aaron Johnson, The Second Coming of Uncle Sam, archival pigment print, 2010.

killingstar, Loyal Consumer, archival pigment print, 2010.

The most notable change in this recent work is the dissolution of horizon. Literal detachment from the natural world has pushed her efforts further toward abstraction. The energetic action paintings display a refreshing confidence in tools, composition and color. Some of her source material, declassified photographs of massive man made and natural explosions were on hand. It was particularly interesting to learn that her reference for a painting does not stem exclusively from a specific image. Her gestures and color selections initiate from living with large amounts of source imagery and are represented on canvas as a culmination of this visual knowledge.

We left Joy Garnett’s studio feeling frisky and craving to see more paintings. Luckily, the opening reception for “Boom & Bust” is rapidly approaching. Friday, October 15th from 6-8PM, we’ll see you there.

Deborah Oropallo, Randi, permanent pigment print on aluminum, 2009.

The source material for much of this content is salvaged from online sources for cowgirl costumes. These advertisements have been digitally manipulated and superimposed on familiar Old Western photographs and recent rodeo imagery. The diluted figures blend with the landscapes and take on a frenzy that incites dimensional illusion.

Deborah Oropallo, Drill Team, permanent pigment print on aluminum, 2009.

As is the case with viewing most artwork online, scale is lost on these stunning pieces. Some of the works measure nearly seven feet on their long side. At this size, the digital artifacts sear with a saturated color palette that demands attention from a substantial distance.

Mark Mothersbaugh, Drinkin’ with Cyclops, five color serigraph, 2009.

The full bleed, five color serigraph is limited to an edition of 80 signed and numbered prints. In addition to this run we will have a few of the ultra rare four color variant on silver mirror paper. Both versions feature areas of metallic and glow in the dark inks.

Mark’s recent visual artwork has been largely inspired by his 30-year habit of creating handmade postcards to send to friends from various stops on DEVO tours. This obsession has evolved into a visual diary that currently yields the artist 1-25 new images per day. These images have served as the basis for the artist’s critically acclaimed solo shows of the 80s/90s as well as for his “gallery tours” which have been occurring at art venues throughout the globe since 2003.

Dan Witz, Sarah (Bloody Fingers), mixed media on digital print on plastic, 2009.

Unauthorized artwork in public places has gone through many advances over the past several decades. It used to be the goal of graffiti bombers to to go large and loud with the intent of being seen. This attitude has by no means died but a subtler, perhaps more sublime aesthetic has begun to creep in affected considerably by the work of Dan Witz. His inventive urban treasures are reward for staying alert despite the daily grind.

Dan Witz, Mean Monkey, mixed media on digital print on plastic, 2009.

In the past, Witz has voiced an apprehension about showing his work in a gallery setting. Much of the pleasure that he derives from creating art comes from street level interventions in unusual places. “Dark Doings” seeks to integrate the power of the work in its accustomed habitat with the necessities of a proper exhibition space. Many of the prints are mounted on plastic, some have been marked and otherwise disturbed. The pieces have been either framed or mounted to unhinged doors. Photographic images of the prints in situ are also on view, extending the virtual sensation of “being there.”

The gallery has had a strong relationship with Jermaine Rogers for years now. This arrangement has enabled us to get our hands on prints that otherwise would be impossible to attain. We have added several of Jermaine’s signed and numbered masterpieces to our arsenal including “AFRO-PUNK (Will I live Tomorrow)”, “Interaction #1: Gypsy Eye”, “Little Animals Grow”, “MORRISSEY (Houston & El Paso, Texas)”, “Polluted Culture: Volume 2″, “WEEN (Stone Pony Asbury Park, NJ)” & “Uncle” (above). All can be had NOWhere.

Frank Kozik, MechaNana, bronze, 2009.

Kozik has done it again with the amazing “MechaNana Bronze.” This piece is limited to only 22 casts. When asked to describe this sculpt Kozik just shrugged and said it was a “marital aid.”

Also, new to our inventory at NOWhere Limited is this great vinyl piece”YHWH” from Mark Ryden. This is his first and perhaps only of vinyl sculpture, hurry and grab one before they are gone.
