Mitchell-Innes & Nash presents an exhibition by contemporary artist Stephen Sollins. Entitled Home Sweet Home, the exhibition includes 10 works from the new Elegy series, a series of stitched works Sollins began in 2002.
In the Elegy series, Sollins examines the artistic process by deconstructing vintage embroideries. The artist transforms these second-hand linens – bedspreads, tablecloths and napkins stitched with banal patterns of flowers and iconic domestic scenes – into abstract, geometric patterns on a white ground. The finished works contrast the sentimentality of “craft-based” embroidery with the rigid methodology of modernism.

Nancy Balliett is a modern landscape painter who passes into her subject, finds its spirit, and translates it into colors and shapes and rhythms that become a surprising alterscape. You know you are seeing a tree or a moon, but it is a wholly original tree, a wholly original moon. Her pictures challenge, then surround you.
Her pictures are in many collections, private and public. She works in both pastels and oils, but concentrates on pastels, relishing their subtlety and plasticity and calmness.

After five years of “just making stuff” Brooklyn lighting designer David weeks, 32, says he’s finally ready to call himself a designer. “I’m thinking, ‘Oh now I see what design is,’” Weeks says just above a whisper, self-conscious that his twp employees might overhear him. “Initially I think I was just grapping, trying to learn production.”
Today, his graceful lighting fixtures – ‘40s French modern/atomic era meets Calder mobile – can be found in Kate Spade stores and restaurants such as Brasserie in New York City. They are still all made by hand, walking the line between art and design, proof that in some ways, he’s never really strayed far from his fine arts background as a painter and his first gig working in the studio with visionary jewelry designer Ted Muehling.
Having always assumed he would work for his himself, Weeks subsequently made the leap to lamp design “knowing only the work of Charles and Ray Eames,” he says. “And that was good enough for me.”

Ethan Cohen Fine Arts presents imaginative exhibition organized by the University of Buffalo Art Gallery and the Millennium Museum in Beijing, China, in collaboration with Gao MingLu, the distinguished curator of “Inside Out: New Chinese Art” that premiered at PS1 and the Asia Society in 1999. The exhibition includes photography, painting, drawing and installations by contemporary Chinese artists.
The works in the exhibition share a visual resonance with Western Minimalism: soft lines, grids, and repetition abound.
Beyond this, however, distinctive Chinese aesthetics set the artwork apart from Minimalism. In contrast to Minimalist artists, who focus on the distillation of form and color, Chinese Maximalist artists combine cultural practices and historical traditions with the act of art-making.

The exhibition, Honert’s second one-person show in the United States, includes seven large-scale sculptures, which are being shown in this country for the first time.
In Santa Claus, Honert translates a drawing’s simple pencil lines into a golden three-dimensional sculpture of Santa Claus and his sack of gifts, advised by an evil figure on his shoulder.
With Ghosts, Honert brings to life a small line drawing, using projectors with motion attachments to create optical effects that animate the small figures, causing them to rotate, waver, and change color.
Also included are two of Honert’s most important earlier works. Lantern, 2000, originally shown at Expo 2000 in Hannover, is a 10-foot square lightbox, each side of the box displaying an image of the artist in his bed gazing up at the night sky, thickly outlined in black, recalling the leading of stained-glass windows.
