ARTmonday: John Goodman

I first learned about photographer John Goodman from Sharon Kitchens of Delicious Musings, who owns one of his pieces. He has a show, along with two other photographers in Boston this month (see details on previous post), so I finally perused his works. I love them. Very evocative, a bit gritty, and beautiful. These are my favorites among the images from the Howard Yezerski Gallery website.

ARTmonday: Boston Combat Zone

Sharon Kitchens of Delicious Musings sent over this invite for the opening of the photography show “Boston Combat Zone 1969 – 1978” featuring the work of John Goodman, Jerry Berndt, and Roswell Angier at the Howard Yezerski Gallery in Boston’s South End. Goodman’s photos are quite evocative. (I haven’t looked at the others yet.) I’ll post more images later today.

ARTmonday: Tim Moore’s 100 Buddhas

Tonight I received an email invite to a reception for artist Tim Moore for 100 Buddhas. I couldn’t locate a website, but I now see that he had a show at Farm Gallery in Wellfleet this summer. I blogged about the gallery earlier in the season, but I totally missed Moore’s work. In any case, his Buddhas are now hanging at Pod, a small home accessories shop in Brookline Village. Looks worth checking out. There’s a reception tomorrow night, Tuesday, Feb. 2nd, 6pm to 8pm.

ARTmonday: Beatriz Milhazes

A few years ago I discovered Rio de Janeiro artist Beatriz Milhazes. Her work was hanging in a living room featured in a glossy mag (perhaps Elle Decor). I perused her work online but it simply wasn’t in the budget. Seems she’s done a lot since then. In addition to her paintings, which are similar in style, but more vivid and hard-edged, there’s an amazing mobile installation and some public works. Most of these are through the James Cohan Gallery in NYC; some are earlier works from the Stephen Friedman Gallery, also in NYC. Feast your eyes. . .

ARTmonday: Alexander Gorlizki

When textile designer Seema Krish, whose work is helping to revitalize crafts in her native India, learned that I had studied Indian art in grad school, she suggested I have a look at contemporary artist Alexander Gorlizki. Mughal miniatures, with a twist!
