Of the 20 or so galleries we visited, one of my favorite shows were Conor Harrington & Chloe Early CHASING CASTLES at Kinsey/Desforges. You can actually see a set of photos fron this show here. Their work to me was like a combination of graffiti, CG, and painting. I especially loved how Chloe Early captured the nostalgia of past summers with overlapping imagery and collage that depicts how memories live in your mind far more accurately than the actual imagery that we think we remember.
My other favorite show was at Taylor De Cordoba Gallery. I walked in and was immediately drawn to the intricate paintings on the walls. As I glanced at the title on the wall, I realized that the artist's name sounded familiar. It was Jeana Sohn, who's blog I have followed for a while now. I don't even remember how I came upon her blog, but I always enjoyed the beautiful photos she takes of her daily life. Her paintings at the show were breathtaking. They were so delicate, each painted with love. It was Monique's favorite too. The show is up until June 27th, so you should check it out in person. Get real up close to it.
A jpeg does not do it justice.
