Artist Series: Melissa Brown
Melissa Brown is on the ground floor of an old foundry in Greenpoint. She has an outdoor area to carve her woodcuts.
Artist Series: Mickalene Thomas
But I couldn’t resist this fun shot of a very energetic and colorful artist…. She insisted that it was only this organized because she had just finished up a large show.
Artist Series: Pedro Bardeito
His previous show had a lot of grids and building perspectives to it echoing his early life as an architecture student…. That’s part of the fun of these studio visits-to see how their minds work as they figure out the next piece.
Artist Series: Kira Lynn Harris
When I first met her she was working with mylar reflections and how they distort and change your perception. She continues to work with light and reflective surfaces in another piece which splashes mesmerizing streaks up the wall.
Artist Series: Rune Olsen
Rune Olsen is using a lot of masking tape. His current show at the Museum of Sex features his detailed masking tape sculptures of animals mating.
Artist Series: Hilary Harkness
Her paintings of lovely, sexy, curvy women at play, sometimes in some x-rated behaviour are very provocative.In researching her on Google. I came up with a rave of her work on Esquire magazine’s site and a listing that Google had identified as “pornographic.”
Artists Series: Elizabeth Huey
Every painting requires close attention to the detail. Her portrait was a performance and she chose to dress up for it, rather than be seen with brush in hand.
Artists Series: Anna Conway, Heather Rowe, Kevin Zucker
It’s interesting to see such good friends working close to each other but each able to maintain their own identity. Anna was working on a piece that later went up at Guild and Greyskul , The gallery was closing and they had a huge show with works by most of the artists that they had shown over the years.
Artist Series: Out with Fine Art photographer In Sook Kim
I had the pleasure of photographing Ms. In Sook Kim as she was photographing for an upcoming piece she is doing for the New York TImes Magazine. For this shoot, I tried to be a fly on the wall and photograph her as she put together one of her massive endeavors.
Artists Series: Leah Tinari
Leah photographs her friends (and herself) having a great time. Those photos, especially the ones many people would just discard or delete, she immortalizes in her paintings.
