#ArtistStWork #AlexDiFluvia's works depict mixed messages of hope while alluding to life's uncertainty and inequality. By juxtaposing black and white photography in his paintings, he produces rich surfaces with collage, markings, graffiti and fluorescent colors creating tensions to transmit a conceptual basis of contradiction. #WhatsYourSubject #SubjectNYC #NYC #DiFluvia #Painting #Collage #Barcelona #BrushStroke #ArtGallery #ContemporaryArt

#happy #saturdaynight After meeting in New York in 1941, surrealist artist Salvador Dalí and Latvian-born photographer Phillipe Halsman began a three-decade partnership. The most notable and iconic of their projects is this playful tableau, “Dalí Atomicus,” in which Dalí, his canvas, furniture, cats, and water all appear suspended in air. It took 28 takes to complete the photograph, each time throwing cats, water, and the chair up in the air. The canvases were suspended by wire and, of course, Dalí had to jump each time. According to Halsman, everyone involved in the project was exhausted at the end – except the cats. #subjectnyc #whatsyoursubject #nyc #salvadordali #surrealist #cats #frames #motion #artgallery #inspiration

You’re Our Subject_

A weekly interview on people we admire complete with their musings on art, life and existence.

Name: Blair Clarke Profession: Founder, Voltz Clarke

What is your current state of mind? Slightly frazzled–as always a new obstacle when opening a gallery.

What is your favorite art movement or style and why? Contemporary figurative painters like Elizabeth Peyton and John Currin have a special place in my heart. They combine elements of the old masters and high-mannerist style to create a type of contemporary romanticism that I find ethereally beautiful. One of Voltz Clarke’s artists, Holland Cunningham also offers these attributes through her seductive and portraits.

Name a few of your favorite artists: I greatly respect the artists on Voltz Clarke’s roster because they offer a contemporary dialogue that isn’t visually or conceptually bounded - they paint or create based on what they are passionate about, not what’s ‘trendy.’

What is your most treasured artwork? Anything painted by my daughters, Poppy or Georgina. You’d think as a gallerist in New York City, I’d practice a greater preference for a Post-War of Contemporary artist, but what they bring home is what I treasure most.

What is your favorite journey? Italy, amalfi coast - the coastline is boundless. You can’t beat that specific mix of salt air and rocky shore. No wonder it’s a source of inspiration for Massimo Vitali and countless others. It’s absolutely picturesque.

What is your most marked characteristic? I would hope friendly, approachable, and always polite!

When and where were you the happiest? Firstly, moving to New York has provided me constant happiness, it’s where I’ve started my family, gave birth to my girls and the place where I hope to grow old with my happy yet never perfect family.

Which talent would you most like to have? I’m not alone when I say that as a left-brainer I would love to be a mathematician. Crunching numbers is one talent we all should have.

In what museum would you like to live? The Musée berbère inside le Jardin Majorelle in Marrakech named after the Orientalist painter Jacques Majorelle. It’s a beautifully Mediterranean garden that was bought by Yves Saint Laurent et Pierre Bergé in 1980–absolutely breathtaking!

Which words or phrases do you most overuse? It would have to be either, "Let's address" or "let's look at this tomorrow"

What is your motto? Surround yourselves by smart employees!

Pick works from the Subject_ collection that you connect to the most and give us one reason those particular pieces speak to you. Carla Aparicio’s works are so provocative and cerebral. Her manipulation of space and objects within her compositions actually remind me of one of Voltz Clarke’s photographers, Xin Yi. Their photographs are graphic and geometric, it’s amazing.
