For artist Natale Adgnot, curiosity is key. In her current exhibition, Life Cycle of a Bird Brain, on view at Sweet Lorraine Gallery in Brooklyn, September 4 – 29, Adgnot takes viewers on a journey that fractally combines language, logical fallacies, and bird imagery. Having a background in fashion from her studies in Paris, Adgnot […]
ChanceTV, in an inspiring departure from his usual, on camera interviews, stepped into the role of producer and partnered with RESCUE DOGS ROCK NYC to create, “Furry, Fashionable & Fabulous.” This Dog Fashion Show, transcended the usual glitz and glamour of the runway, embedding a profound message of compassion and a call to action into […]
The Chashama Art Gala and Party, an ‘immersive’ art event featuring over 200 performers last week was certainly other worldly. Deemed the “most outrageous art party,” (and I will not contest), two endlessly spanning floors equipped with labyrinthine installations, silent auction, food stations, extraterrestrial costumes, ball pit, wild cosmetic and makeup stations kept attendees entertained […]
Shelley Hu: Augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) have come a long way. No longer is the field limited to gimmicky turn-of-the-century experiences like those theme park movie theater shorts with shaky seats and mist machines or the more recent, clunky, forgettable Google Glass; today, even average consumers can purchase state-of-the-art VR headsets for […]
The Canvas’ Bowery storefront houses an ethical retail hub, a sustainably-sourced beverage stand, and a portal to a world of frighteningly innovative, reality-warping artistry. Snaking to the back of the shop, one can find the entrance to a multi-roomed, white-walled maze, that, from November 20th to December 15th, hosts Slow Burn NYC’s fifth […]
Downward spiraling into the Covid-19 abyss, the human need for visual and figurative art magnifies. Lockdown may have stifled many artists’ desire to create, but it has intensified patrons’ hunger to appreciate and engage with the finer arts: Paintings, sculpture, photography, music, film, literature, design and cooking. Entrepreneur and curator Marina Dojchinov recognized this gap […]
“Geometry is the language of the universe. All of us are interconnected.” Artist, creator, and product designer Javier Gomez transposes mandalas unto furniture. Complex, abstract designs whose focal point emanates into a web of symbols, rays, and forms, the mandala means ‘circle’ in Sanskrit. It demarcates the intimate binding of external and internal realities, […]
“Nature is the best Artist” Aphrodite’s spring meets the Garden of Eden through Kira Koktysh’s nature-inspired jewelry. She employs her signature Swarovski crystals and natural stones unto mesmerizing fig, mushroom, leaves and flowers moldings. Imbued with an Earth-toned color palette—olive greens, deep purples, burgundy, brown, rich browns—Kira evokes the mysterious laws of Nature. She […]
“There are so many cosmic themes in the etymology of her name, it is as though she was born to paint this way” – Ellie Jahrling Representing about 12 artists on exclusive terms, Max Laniado gallery hosts Cosmina’s second solo exhibit (after 100 solo exhibitions in Europe) “The External Facets of […]
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 […]
