Kindling yet another spoke of the NYC culture fractal is New York’s Design Week. However the best of it located itself in SoHo’s cast-iron district, where one abounds in visual eye-openers, comfortable chairs, and curated ambiance. Studding SoHo’s Belgian blocks are indoor and outdoor furniture, lighting fixtures, abstract Cuban paintings, mirror and sculptures. Sometimes it does […]
“It’s a travesty that we’ve arrived at this place where we compartmentalize everything and separate everything instead of recognizing the connectivity of things” -Ben Moon 3Squared Gallery does justice to the psychedelic—to the Fractal– yet again. Decorating its cave like proportions with the likes of Stefan Beauvais and Ben Moon is curator Marina Dojchinov. These […]
Rising star chefs received their culinary awards at the starchefs gala-Tuesday, February 21st. It encapsulated culinary wisdom, skill and severe mission–pastries, cocktail dreams and charcuterie incisions.

“This is not a woman thing; this is a human thing. Until men soften and see themselves as emotional creatures as well as rational ones, we will continue to be nihilistic.” –George Lewis New York City epitomizes the reconciliation of opposites: Rich and poor, dark and light, or high and low. George Lewis re-privileges the […]
GR Gallery hosts yet another spectacular contemporary art exhibit: One that hypnotizes and heals. A re-visitation of work he created almost 50 years ago, 25 of David R. Prentice’s minimalist abstract paintings from the past 5 years attempt and succeed to elevate abstract-minimalist to a new avant-garde. […]
I return often to AFA Gallery, a landmark in SoHo’s historic cast iron district. SoHo has more cast-iron buildings than any other global district, and AFA occupies one of them. The way light bounces off one creature on a busy, sunny Saturday changes so wildly on a slow, rainy Monday. It only makes sense then […]
