Great group of artists & work in “Harlem Perspectives II” @FACTIONartProjects’ annual exhibition celebrating the wealth of artistic talent in uptown New York. Exhibition Feb.8 - March 2 Here a selection of works I chose Swipe ⬅️ Works by artists who deconstruct history through their process of art making. With their hands, a brush, or through a lens, the artists investigate, manipulate and work materials & objects that are charged with a personal and/or political narrative. While teasing, tearing & appropriating materials, the artists examine the cultural values & historical significance placed on the objects or subjects in their work. The resulting works define a new narrative revealing how the artists may find reconciliation or antipathy through the process & prompting the viewer to question preconceived notions & beliefs. In his multi-media series, ‘In The Service of a Villian’, @CobyKennedy paints, welds, sews, films, photographs & animates his subjects in a quest to antagonize & perhaps overthrow a patriarchal society. @KennedyYanko is fascinated by the human tendency to see objects only as they appear. Through her large-scale metal & “skin” formations she creates a new context, changing our interaction & relationship w the objects. @DavidCTerry manipulates ubiquitous objects like a terry cloth headband, a pair of basketball shorts, a dollar bill & with a bit of irony reveals society’s suppressed or unsaid viewpoints. @Patrick_Alston_artist’s abstract paintings are a reflection, perhaps even a memoir of growing up in the Bronx. Patrick combines traditional techniques w graffiti gestures on hand sewn canvases deftly creating an historical patchwork w a bit of personal history hidden within each painting. And works by @ruheemaknojia Tammy Nguyen @tammowhammo, @ElanCadiz #cobykennedy #kennedyyanko #patrickalston #davidcterry #harlemperspectivesii #factionartprojects #exhibition #gallery #harlem #opening #newyork #privateview #contemporaryart #art #arte #artlife #artlovers #artgram #artist #kunst #artsy #arthistory #blackrenaissance #harlemrenaissance #artoftheday #blackhistorymonth #contemporaryart #artadvisor #artcurator #joakimvonditmar (at Faction Art Projects) https://www.instagram.com/p/Btnq2K7Fi-Y/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ikkxv4exs9cg
