Tuesday's Gallery Picks

This week’s artists are driven by their curiosity about the world and methods of perception.

*            *            *

1. Gergö Szinyova’s latest work, the industrial hues of grey, ochre, violet and spearmint reflect on the imagery that influence his painting, gathered from browsing the internet for photographs of modernist environments. The artist translates the experience of browsing, and the urban human environment, as an abstracted memory of kinetic gestures and hidden content at Anat Ebgi
2. Ruth Tabancay’s latest work spins the hexagonal form into various configurations and renders them in a range of materials that correlate to the concepts of the finished work. Tabancay is driven here by a childlike fascination with geometry, and an educated intellectual curiosity about microbiology at Mercury Twenty
3. Broken Colours features six artists whose works employ color as a near material.  It considers how a schismatic chromatic composition might lead to an integrated structural form, and vice versa at Nicholas Metivier Gallery
4. Liz K. Miller has created a new language to communicate musical scores to produce the intricate etchings and prints presented in this exhibition. The premise for these works is the use of the repetitive motifs that occur in music in order to generate concentric patterns. The resulting imagery looks like it could have naturally occurred or grown, like constellation patterns or rings of a tree at BEARSPACE
5. While many former graffiti artists drop their pseudonyms when they enter the world of art, Jason Williams (aka Revok) refused. In Revok, he goes beyond the self to examine perceptions of consciousness and unconsciousness at Ruttkowski;68
6. Inspired by his Brazilian heritage, Fernando Chamarelli channels the disparateness of his cultural environment through his work, tapping into his country’s rich history of contrasts and coexisting diversities at Thinkspace

This week’s gallery picks focus on action and evolution in the artist’s process.

1. This series presents a new take on pixelation, as Peter Fox’s work in “Blind Trust” distorts a color grouping from spherical drops to elongated color flows, which are swept across the canvas, spread and stretched in all different directions at Front Room
2. In Jug Life, artists breathe new life into still life at Park Life Gallery
3. About her work, Galen Cheney has said, “I like my paintings to exist on a tightrope, right on the edge of coming apart. Not fixed, not static, but open, and with a sense of still being composed. I want the process, the struggle to be right out in front, not covered over or tidied up.” at The Painting Center
4. Felipe Pantone’s body of work spans from graffiti to kinetic art. Strong contrasts, vivid colors, effects, and the use of mixed medium and varied technique combine to impact strongly on the viewer at Delimbo Gallery
5. “My inspiration fuels the belief that risk and guesswork will reveal new possibilities” – Kevin Broad at George Billis Gallery
6. THE COYOTE is a show of five NYC based painters implementing humor, kitsch, repetition and stark glyph like visuals, combining disparities to create new meanings at Gallery Steinsland Berliner
