A RETROSPECTIVE OF ARIANNE ZAGER’S ART

A RETROSPECTIVE OF ARIANNE ZAGER’S ART. MEET AND GREET VIP MIXER
Location: PHANTOM AUDIO 48 WEST 25TH STREET BTWN 5TH AVE AND 6TH AVE 10TH FL. NEW YORK,NY 10010
Time: 7:00PM Wednesday, October 27th 2010


Arianne Zager is a natural self taught artist that resides in Brooklyn NY. Using watercolor and loose inks she paints her interpretation of the world around her. Often adorning her work with metal leaf and hand sewn threads Arianne's vision of skewed beauty and surreal emotion communicates clearly from this 28 year old painter.

Arianne has shown in many galleries, lofts and private events through New York, LA, Chicago, PA, WI, Berlin, Moscow and Barcelona. Also she has worked as a graphic artist and clothing designer in NYC. Coming from a creative background art has always been a major focus.

Using her travels to absorb the culture and movements of the people around her Arianne has produced a big collection of watercolor on canvas, linen and hand selected wood. The focus of her art is to piece together a journey into the spin off of just one individuals own organic imagination. Taking what you want from these thoughts and pieces and redevelop them to your own.

JESSE RENO

jesse reno paints 2010 from jesse reno on Vimeo.

Jesse Reno will be one of the featured artists in "ART 4 HEARTS" group show fundraiser for the AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION. Curated by Jason Zenga from Art Asylum Boston and yours truly Frankie Velez..

The following video documents Jesse Reno's painting process, as he works on 4 paintings simultaneously from start to finish. one of the paintings becomes collaged into one of the others so he ends with 3 finished pieces.

The idea was to document Jesse's process as pure and true to form as possible. jumping from one piece to another and back again as the impulses and urges push and pull him. painting over layer after layer as he searches for just the right feeling, composition, meaning, and colors he needs to see to call a painting finished.

Through out the video there are still shots that hold every so often to help the viewer better see each piece in its entirety during its process. this should help "you" the viewer keep track of whats going on.. good luck..you might need to see it twice to fully understand it..

The video was shot over the course of 4 days, in the course of approximately 36 hrs. it was all shot as a series of still photographs adding up to approximately 30,000 photos. Wisa Kuuttila shot all the photos and assembled them into the animation. Jesse composed, recorded, and produced all the music.

Gerry Stecca

Gerry Stecca is a local Miami artist.I met Gerry Stecca briefly last year during Art Basel in a show called "Imaginary Friends" curated by my friend Maria Arellano. Last week after curating an art show in Miami I had some time to run around and do some networking.I went to Bake House an old bakery refinery now renovated and housing art studios for about 70 artists. Gerry Stecca is one of the artists at Bake House.

A painter most of his life, Gerry Stecca’s two dimensional artwork gradually evolved into the realm of Sculptural Installations. Frequent traveling and exposure to many facets of the creative world, provided a constant stream of stimulation and inspiration. His sculptural work applies the principles of pattern and repetition, climaxing with the work done with Wooden Clothespins.

Solo Exhibit Opening In Norway

New York street artist TMNK paintings will be featured in a Solo Exhibition.

Painted Animation By BLU

Last night I was still feeling sleepy from a weekend of camping,so I added a 1/2 of teaspoon of Nature's Raw Guarana tea mix in my water to get some energy. As always it kicked in late and I was up all night again. I decided to browse through the Warholian a site all about art. That's when I stumbled on to this cool video they posted on one of my favorite street artists BLU. Some of you probably saw it already and most of you probably didn't. Sit back press play and enjoy. Cheers!

ART CRITIC REVIEWS GRAFFOLUTION

GRAFFOLUTION the group art show I'm currently curating gets interviewed by art critic Julia Morton.

Susann Brox Nilsen

Susann Brox Nilsen is a self-taught artist from Tromsø, Norway.

From the very first time Susann Brox Nilsen painted, it was obvious to her that she had found her big passion.It was Susann Brox Nilsen's mother who also is a great artist, that encouraged Susann to grab the paintbrush.Susann Brox Nilsen has been drawing since she was able to hold a pencil, everything from cartoons to fashion, but she didn't really think she could paint at all.

At the age of 24 Susann Brox Nilsen was challenged to paint her very first painting at a friend's request. From that point on a wheel started spinning and Susann Brox Nilsen quickly developed her very own style.


Susann Brox Nilsen paints with oil and can easily spend hours and days at a time on one piece. Susann's inspiration comes from surrealism and her favorite artist is Mark Ryden.Anything that breaks away from reality attracts her attention.


Susann Brox Nilsen paints a lot of self-portraits.Some of her paintings reveal how she feels inside at the time.The eyes are very central in her work, since the eyes are the mirror of the soul.


A common thing Susann hears from people is that her paintings are beautiful but sad and filled with hurt. Many are but she uses a lot of happy colors despite the dark subject.


At the present time Susann Brox Nilsen has her art hanging in galleries in Tromsø,Norway.
Two were solo exhibitions, and two exhibitions were group shows.


Susann Brox Nilsen's future plan is to get her work out to the rest of the world. She also plans to apply for a school that teaches art therapy. Stay tuned for more artwork by Susann Brox Nilsen.

Brian Kirhagis

I've had the pleasure of showing the artwork of Brian Kirhagis a few years back in one of my first group shows. Today I added the artwork of Brian Kirhagis at PLUSH a post audio production company I consult and sell artwork out of.

Brian Kirhagis was born in Baltimore, MD(1983), and from the very first time he picked up a pencil, he knew he wanted to be an artist.

Later on however, with only one high school art class under his belt, Brian decided to pursue a degree in graphic/web design at Hofstra University. He decided that the screen was a better career option than canvas at the time.

After graduation, BK founded Brikwork Studios, a full service graphic/web design company. Designer by day and artist by night, he is constantly in the studio perfecting his craft. Largely self taught, his raw uncut style has established BK as one of NY's most exciting young artists.
His has exhibited in NYC, Queens, Brooklyn, and Southampton, and there is a permanent exhibition of his paintings at Velour Lounge in Chelsea, where he holds live, interactive painting events once a month. His work was recently featured on MTV's "Spring Break 2010".

BK has been commissioned by Steiner Sports Memorabilia, The Darryl Strawberry Foundation, Legendary Bunger Surf Shop, and Prohibit Clothing NYC. His work is included in numerous private and corporate collections, including Bert Padell, Ahmad Bradshaw of the NY Giants, and Joba Chamberlain of the Yankees.
