@bev_fishman’s bold, polychromatic wall works meditate on the many parallels that can be drawn between #pharmaceuticals and art. Like taking a pill, an experience with art is often brief yet has the ability to induce a response that runs deep within in one’s being. Fishman’s vivid #geometric reliefs may not take on the overt physical appearance of #pills, but are representative of how pharmaceutical companies utilize #aesthetic appeal in their products to offer the promise of a better reality. Each optically alluring and carefully crafted shape stacked within her compositions is assigned an ailment denoted by the title of the work. ⁣ ⁣ With all of the chaos surrounding the Covid #vaccine and health care concerns rampant as a result of the pandemic, Fishman’s slick, subtle sculptural paintings provide a moment of relief, drug-free.💊⁣ ⁣ Beverly Fishman⁣ 𝘜𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘵𝘭𝘦𝘥 (𝘕𝘢𝘳𝘤𝘰𝘭𝘦𝘱𝘴𝘺, 𝘌𝘱𝘪𝘭𝘦𝘱𝘴𝘺), 2020⁣ Urethane paint on wood⁣ 78 x 44 in (198.1 x 111.8 cm)⁣ ___⁣ #BeverlyFishman #pharma #bigpharma #narcolepsy #epilepsy #minimalism #contemporary_art #installationartwork #abstractartwork #abstraction #palmbeachart #geometricabstraction #opticalart #concretism #conceptualart #minimalistart #wallsculpture #sculpturalpainting #womeninart #femaleartists #artsculpture #womeninthearts #workingartist #womenartists ⁣#nationalacademicians (at Palm Beach, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKmeL7pFLbm/?igshid=16ecz4rrnjhhv

LIVE NOW: 𝘒𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘯 𝘊𝘢𝘳𝘴𝘰𝘯: 𝘔𝘪𝘥𝘥𝘭𝘦 𝘎𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥 on @galleryplatform.la! Visit the link in our bio to view the presentation online.⁣ ⁣ Centered around Carson’s current bas relief works and her early “zipper” series, both bodies of work deploy geometric configurations to explore the convergence of gender, nature and the material world. The exhibition’s title refers to the interplay between these two series; both operate as key historical markers that speak to Carson’s artistic importance for the past five decades, creating work with an expansive visual language that has engaged contemporary issues and political culture in myriad ways. ⁣ ⁣ Visually and conceptually, Carson’s bas relief series revolves around the artist’s recent use of acrylic paint on wood, a body of work emerging from a summer spent in her Montana studio following an extended period of experimentation. Rich natural elements - mountain ranges and pine trees - appear to produce a close relation with the luminous, exterior environments.⁣ ⁣ Intricately and individually, Carson incorporates these elements into her work. Nature influences her color palette and provides a stark sense of contrast throughout the series, giving us the illusion that they are illuminated from within, glowing like a fluorescent tube. All the wood is cut by Carson herself with a manual saw and chop saw, laid beforehand and then mounted onto a panel. The wood is then laid, glued and ultimately painted once the assemblage is completed. Each work becomes unique through this intricate process that blends the human hand with organic material.⁣ ⁣ 𝘒𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘯 𝘊𝘢𝘳𝘴𝘰𝘯: 𝘔𝘪𝘥𝘥𝘭𝘦 𝘎𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥⁣ Installation view, GAVLAK Los Angeles, 2021⁣ On view through March 6.⁣ ⁣ Karen Carson⁣ 𝘙𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘈𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘦, 1972⁣ Unstretched canvas, zippers⁣ 78 × 97 × 3 inches⁣ ⁣ Karen Carson⁣ 𝟸 𝘚𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘱𝘦𝘴, 1970⁣ Unstretched canvas, zippers⁣ 78 3/4 × 62 × 2 3/4 inches⁣ ⁣ Karen Carson⁣ 𝘙𝘦𝘥 𝘍𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦, 2020⁣ Acrylic on bas relief wood⁣ 21 1/2 × 29 1/2 × 3 inches⁣ ___⁣ #karencarson #karencarsonart #middleground #gpla #galleryplatformla #galleryplatformlosangeles #gala #losangeles ⁣ (at Gavlak) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKj1M79lq5h/?igshid=19inpvx6vpyuq

Brischler described his childhood self as voracious consumer of queer cinema, re-runs of classic television, and Bruce Springsteen--the posterchild of machismo--which helped him understand and celebrate his identity. "That combination of cultural criticism and earnest emotional tribute remains the cornerstone of my studio practice today," says the artist.⁣ ___⁣ #andrewbrischler #perdition #lot36 #nortonauction #nortonmuseum #thenortonmuseumofart #sothebys #sothebysdotcom #onlineauction #artsbenefit #artauction #nortononline #raw #recognitionofartbywomen #museumcharity #museumauction #museumbenefit #robwynne #nancylorenz #maynardmonrow @sothebys (at Norton Museum of Art) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKe35qrFVf-/?igshid=iulmm4wmguew

Welcome to Palm Beach, @robertmelee! 🌴 #HomeSweetHome ⁣ 𝘏𝘦𝘳 𝘓𝘦𝘢𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨 (2008) is one of four oversized, figurative sculptures created by New York-based artist Robert Melee. These bronzes seem familiar in their generalized characteristics and poses, but also exude a haunting sense of disguise through their amorphous features. To construct these commanding forms, Melee starts with mannequins to establish the basic human figure, and then works to blur recognizable details with abstract forms by covering most of the features with canvas and plaster. He then casts the sculptures in bronze and employs his signature painting technique called "marbleizing," an obsessively exaggerated interpretation of classic marbleizing, in which he drips and splatters the sculptures with brightly colored enamel paint. The results are works of art that unite formal characteristics of painting and sculpture.⁣ ⁣ Robert Melee is known for producing works of art that explore human behavior and psychology. Throughout his career, Melee has focused his attention on the interaction and relationships as seen through characters, both real and invented, in his art. Melee’s outdoor bronze sculptures represent the artist's gleefully perverse conflations of modern art and suburban life; the abject and the abstract keep close company in mannequins whose frozen poses, so heavily doused in paint that they have a geological mass, and in rock-solid drapes covered in painting reminiscent of Jackson Pollock.⁣ ⁣ Robert Melee⁣ 𝘏𝘦𝘳 𝘓𝘦𝘢𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨, 2008⁣ Aqua enamel on bronze⁣ 156 x 84 x 60 in (396.2 x 213.4 x 152.4 cm)⁣ The artist in his studio, Lisbon, Portugal. ___⁣ #robertmelee #herleaving #palmbeach #theroyalpoincianaplaza @theroyalpoincianaplaza (at The Royal Poinciana Plaza) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKSMcqTlib0/?igshid=15pcorrzi67q1
