Matthew Slotover, co-founder of Frieze, said: “When the markets turned down in August we were worried.... This is about getting quality works through the door.” (Source: The Financial Times, London)

Jeff Grant, "Thin light"
 |
LMAK Pojects: Jeff Grant's solo exhibition titled "Thin light". |
In this exhibit the viewer is confronted with mark-making either through graphite lines on paper or stretched black string. A piano being tuned is in the air, bringing two dimensional space and three dimensional space together then filling all negative spaces with sound. (LMAKprojects has started a monthly screening and performance event in the gallery’s Lower East Side space, called the LMAKseries.)

"ALL SMILES..."
Leo Koenig Gallery
"ALL SMILES..."
The New Normal.
October 21 - December 3, 2011
Today we are bombarded with informational and visual overload. The pace of the 20th century seems relatively slow against the backdrop of today's manic technological world. Every day we become more addicted to increased stimulation as the video screen becomes our constant companion. At all waking hours it is by our side, or in front of us, ready to engage our eyes, mind and hands.
Greg Bogin's work exist within the parameters of this sensory bombardment. Bogin integrates cheerful titles, bright colors and beautiful surfaces into his sculptural paintings, which appear to offer very little content in return. Using materials such as wood veneer and carpeting he evokes a feeling of home, but this is a false impression of reality. His underlying question requires thoughtful consideration: "Is our "New Manic Normal" a comfortable place to live?"

Highly Detailed & Refined Realism
October 20th - December 17th, 2011

© Brett Bigbee Courtesy Alexandre Gallery, New York |
The Alexander Gallery will present an overview of Brett Bigbee’s (b. 1954) paintings and drawings completed during the past ten years. Included are three large-scale figurative oil paintings, small-scale still-life paintings and related drawings, both developmental and fully realized. His most recent painting, Abby (2005 – 2010), depicts a pre-teen girl clad in a brightly-colored flowered swimsuit emerging from a landscape of dirt and leafy groundcover. The exhibition will include loans from private and museum collections and is accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue with text by John Yau. Yau writes: “Working on a painting, often for years, Bigbee... is direct and elusive, relaxed and introspective, open to the world and yet separate from it.... Stillness and change lie at the heart of the artist’s portraits. The aching desire to slow down time is spelled out in carefully effaced brushstrokes, which literally and figuratively caress each surface and trace each contour. Bigbee’s labor, an act of devotion, is essential to the meaning of his work.” Bigbee’s paintings have an arresting psychological intensity and sensitivity.

GEORGE BILLIS GALLERY
October 13 - November 11, 2011
Elizabeth O'Reilly is at home in the abandoned precincts of the Gowanus Canal. These works provide an intimate view of Brooklyn, combining the dominance of man's industrially designed world with the energy of limited natural accents. The works exhibit lively brushwork, a focus on the geometric and a sense of place.
