It was an early spring evening in Chelsea and I had the pleasure of barely making it to the opening reception of Leah Yerpe‘s current solo exhibition, Internal Wilderness, at Anna Zorina Gallery. I refer to “barely making it” as a pleasure because everyone had left so there was a sacred window in which one could take their time with …
Summer Cool. | Group Show at Anna Zorina.
nna Zorina’s show is as jubilant as it is varied. Though two clusters of graphite angels might disagree, color and collage are the stars of Summer Cool. Here, a cardboard collage of a drunken-sailor type feels at home with a rendition of Magritte’s Son of Man done entirely in paint injected bubble wrap. More subtle work can be found in the …
Last Days of Levitation at Anna Zorina Gallery. | Leah Yerpe.
first saw these surreal and impeccably detailed drawings by Leah Yerpe this March at the second annual NY Art on Paper fair. Like the fair, Yerpe is young—having graduated from Pratt University in 2009— but her great feats of naturalism and expressive drama suggest that she has perfected her technique over decades.

Looking Back at Bradley Hart’s Evolution.
Bradley has been creating masterpieces out of bubble wrap for the past decade. That’s right, bubble wrap. He painstakingly injects the individual pockets of air with paint. The results are incredible. Now his work is really “popping off”…literally. The urge to pop bubble wrap is a universal one and the undisputed master of its use as an art supply has …

Summer is well on its way out and fall is nigh but Spring Break Art Fair is in full bloom.
The Best of Volta, Independent, and Scope 2018
Wow, it seems like eons ago, but it was only last week when I wondered from art fair to art fair, furiously focused, miraculously ubiquitous, my toes bloody murder. With the Armory week’s circus completed, one can’t help but feeling kind of like an art orphan wondering, now what (oh wait a minute, Asia Art week is here!) After the …
