JC Fontanive Faster Then I Thought at Danese Corey

Arcade/Arcadia by Ellen Harvey

We are very excited to share that reproductions of two of our works by George Jones (b. 1786) are being featured in a new exhibition at the Danese Corey Gallery in New York City until 23 Dec.

Arcade/Arcadia by Ellen Harvey is a recreation of J.M.W. Turner's last gallery as a funfair hall of mirrors showing a panorama of Margate. The shack is a ¾ scale replica of the gallery that Turner built to display his works in London, and is filled with hand-engraved etchings of Turners paintings on rear-illuminated Plexiglass mirrors. The dimensions and arrangement of the mirrors replicate those of the paintings that were in the gallery upon Turner’s death - some hanging on the walls, some leaning casually on the floor.

Harvey uses two works from our collection, Interior of Turner's Gallery: The Artist Showing his Works (1851), and Turner's Body Lying in State (1851), to inspire the arrangement of the space and provide the viewer with the contextual background of the gallery itself.

Hai-Hsin Huang in 'Ref-er-enced' at Danese Corey Gallery

Phones, cameras and iPads outnumber art objects in Hai-Hsin Huang’s mash-up of Metropolitan Museum of Art treasures, ogled by visitors jockeying for snapshots and selfies. In this detail, a massive, 2,300 year old marble column from the Temple of Artemis at Sardis fails to attract much attention, begging the question of a museum’s purpose in today’s photo obsessed culture. (At Danese Corey Gallery in Chelsea through Feb 4th). Hai-Hsin Huang, (detail) The MET #1, pencil on paper, 53 x 117 inches, 2014.

Jorge Palacios at Danese Corey Gallery

Titled after the Japanese dolls that return to an upright state if knocked over, Spanish artist Jorge Palacios’ sculpture ‘Okiagari-Koboshi’ is so strikingly shaped, it’s viewers eyes that will keep returning. Resembling a muscle-bound arm extending a slender fist or an oversized 3-D piece of punctuation, the tension between slim and full organic forms offers many interpretations. (On view at Danese Corey Gallery in Chelsea through May 4th). Jorge Palacios, Okiagari-Koboshi, accoya wood, 65.75 x 47.25 x 39.375 inches, 2018.

Elise Ansel at Danese Corey

Caravaggio’s 1602 oil painting ‘The Taking of Christ’ includes betrayal, surrender and alarm in one action-packed scene;’ New York artist Elise Ansel distills the drama in her oil painting, ‘Kiss,’ an abstraction that sketches the main characters as hovering areas of light. By exploring gesture, light and pattern, Ansel focuses attention on the feeling of the scene rather than the specifics, offering new ways to connect to the Old Masters. (On view at Danese Corey in Chelsea through Jan 5th). Elise Ansel, Kiss, oil on linen, 48 x 60 inches, 2018.
