Children’s scribbles may appear random but they often repeat shapes, like the mandala or the Greek cross, that suggest the beginning of language.

Lines of Thought: An Interview with Ben Jones

Avatar photo by Nicole Rudick November 5, 2016November 7, 2016

Last month, Ben Jones exhibited a new body of work at The Hole gallery on the Lower East Side. The gallery’s walls and floor are painted a bright, startling white; Jones’s artwork, usually drenched in hot hues, here consists only of graphite-colored oil-stick line drawings.

It’s tempting to characterize Karl Wirsum’s recent spate of exhibitions in the city as his New York moment.

Making Muses: Dorothy Iannone’s Erotic Art Was Inspired by Dieter Roth

Avatar photo by Nicole Rudick December 14, 2014September 21, 2016

Dorothy Iannone describes her trip to Reykjavík in 1967 as the “journey which seems to have made all other journeys possible.” It was there she met the artist Dieter Roth, with whom she swiftly fell in love and for whom she left her husband and a comfortable life in the United States.

The Function of Forms: Matthew Palladino’s Object Lessons

Avatar photo by Nicole Rudick July 12, 2014July 14, 2014

Matthew Palladino’s gallerist calls his new works paintings, but one wonders whether that label is given partly for simplicity’s sake: They are paintings but also sculptural reliefs. They are illusionistic but also real.

Art of Darkness: Matt Kish Illustrates Conrad’s Classic

Avatar photo by Nicole Rudick March 22, 2014March 26, 2014

What’s stunning about Matt Kish’s illustrations for Heart of Darkness — one for every page of Joseph Conrad’s text — is how sunny they are. His modest palette comprises yellow, green, black, and white, with the occasional hit of red, orange, or blue. The novel, on the other hand, is tonally dark: sepulchral and miasmic.
