Laura Jennings and Aydin Rahbar at Brick Oven on 35th Street

The current show I've coordinated at Brick Oven on 35th Street features the art works of Laura Jennings and Aydin Rahbar.  Both Aydin and Laura work in mixed media techniques, applying different layers of materials to create works characterized by visual depth, wit and liveliness.  Laura's works are abstract and colorful, playfully interpreting phrases and mis-phrasings, while Aydin's are representational and black and white, using popular culture derived sources to imagine strange futures.  Despite their visual and thematic differences, the works harmonize and play off of each other in unique, exciting ways.

See the work and visit with the Laura and Aydin during the Artists' Receptions scheduled for 12-3 PM on December 7th - event page https://www.facebook.com/events/657262968138839/ 

Exhibit on view during restaurant hours through February 1, 2020.

Are friends eclectic?

Debbie Carroll and Winston Hicks at Cielo Bistro Mexico

I recently added Cielo Bistro Mexico to the establishments for which I'm coordinating art exhibits and this second show for the restaurant combines the paintings of Debbie Carroll and the photographs of Winston Hicks in a delectable melange on view through December.

Winston's photographs depict the colors and textures of Mexico and Guatemala while Debbie's paintings feature the landscapes and flora of the Southwest executed in vibrant colors.  Come see how well the forms and colors play together while enjoying the restaurants regional dishes.

Suzanne Koett and Emily Sharp at Brick Oven on 35th Street

The current show, up through November 2nd, at Brick Oven on 35th Street features the works of Suzanne Koett and Emily Sharp.  Emily's paintings depict landscapes and waterscapes in their immensity but with a feeling of intimate connection to the natural phenomena of light, atmosphere, and physical substance.  Suzanne's photomontages depict journeys of the psyche navigating the world through images inspired by the tracks of an album by John Frusciante.

Come see the artwork and visit the artist at the reception, hosted by the restaurant, scheduled for September 15th, 3 - 6 PM.  Happy drink and food specials: $4 wine, $3 beer and 50% off appetizers!

Laura Caffrey and B. Shawn Cox at Brick Oven

Giving the rooms at Brick Oven on 35th Street a different look, works by B. Shawn Cox and Laura Caffrey went up in the restaurant's dining rooms this morning.  Laura's assemblages combine found objects to create works that have a feeling of strange schematic illustrations and from Shawn's diverse, serial works, groupings of Edison lightbulb and bow tie paintings punctuate the Brick Oven's colorful walls.  The show runs through April 27th.
