Emmanuel Polanco. Another crazy collage maker. Inventive. Fun. Sometimes insightful.

Cecil Williams
29 10 2012Cecil Williams. This is an artist who loves his subjects. Some of the work is nostalgic, even sentimental but it has the ring of truth about it. As if Williams were introducing you to his neighbours. I love the naivety in it. Love the story telling. Wish that I felt this way.

Wolfgang Dieter Bauer
28 10 2012Wolfgang Dieter Bauer. The wealthy. The young. Healthy. Moments in a day for those who can afford to lounge. I don’t know if this is social commentary. Or if Bauer loves this world. There is no paranoia. No fear that it could suddenly end. Nothing joyous or passionate. Everything seems cool. Aloof. Matter of fact.

Carmelo Canales
27 10 2012Carmelo Canales. His work on first glance reminds me of the early work of Ed Kuris. Portrait paintings. From the inside. But he also uses a collage affect with his painting. Maps. Like journeys in the minds of his subjects. The work is very controlled. With large flat spaces of blank colours. Its very dramatic.

Thomas Saliot
25 10 2012Thomas Saliot is a wonderful artist. His work is fascinating. His story lines are provocative. Some of his work is sexual. My only complaint is that the women, the streets the stories all seem to come out of “Vanity” or like magazines. Things are too pristine.
And I just love this song.

Michael Meyersfeld
25 10 2012You sometimes run across artists who are ‘professionals’. I hate the term. There are no professional artists. We’re all amateurs. But there are people like Meyersfeld who can make a living at art. And his work is very professional. And there are stories in his work which make them especially interesting to me.

Juan Barletta
30 10 2012Juan Barletta. Silly putty. Iconic porno poses. Picasso. Its all in the blender. Social commentary. The female form manipulated into horror film like images. As if Barletta had taken Penthouse and put it through a sausage machine.
