From the Forward: "...In this latest group of paintings, Alan Feltus has made another smooth but very encompassing step forward into the depth of psychologically intense figurative work in which he finds himself most comfortable. His enigmatic imaginary dramas involve himself and members of his family, either literally or by representation, and the dramas are highly charged as a result. It's as if the cool sensibility of the women who populated his past paintings has been left behind in America; here, in Umbria, in these paintings, every action, every movement, every moment people spend with each other has depth and meaning. It's a complex place, this Italy, where few things are as they seem. Thousands of years of civilization have formed a place of infinite layers of history and meaning. Alan Feltus is about… Read More

New York, NY: Miles McEnery Gallery, 2022. paperback. Very Good. 0x0x0. Minor shelf wear, binding tight, pages clean and unmarked. Moffitt declares, “Few painters appear to be as different as Alex Dodge and Tom LaDuke. Dodge’s crisply rendered, rumpled patterns, stenciled so that they acquire the texture of their referent fabrics, have a unique physical presence that invites our touch. By contrast, LaDuke’s juxtaposition of abstract gestures–some brushed impasto, others poured or stenciled–atop foggy, inscrutable landscapes seem to place the physical world just out of reach, as if behind a pane of steamed glass. Both painters, however, achieve their results through a precise methodology that filters the material through the digital and then back out onto the analog surface of a canvas. Much of their work develops in the virtual space of Blender, a 3D computer graphics software program that synthesizes drawings… Read More

Walter Wickiser Gallery, Inc, 2006. Paperback. Very Good. 0x0x0. Minor shelf wear, light creasing t wraps, binding tight, pages clean and unmarked. Turow is, I think, doing something of the same sort in this new series, though she seems to refer to solitary, contemplative mo-ments rather than social ones. One feature of the paintings is the carefully elaboration of texture. We, all of us, I think, remember places from our past with reference not simply to color and form, but to the intimate natures of their surfaces — the cracked, sunburned paint of a particular windowsill for example. The artist is clearly very much attuned to this kind of nuance, which is something that also manifests itself in her previous work. When we look at the nature of abstract painting in general we note that it sprang originally from deliberate acts of 'not seeing'. Kandinsky, for instance, offers a famous account of coming into his studio and seeing some of the figurative works he was then… Read More

2007. paperback. Good. 0x0x0. Covers are creased and soiled, binding sound, internally clean. Unpaginated, approximately 58 pages, illustrated in color. Commentary To have no words, we call unspeakable. To have no concepts, we call empty-headed. To be so close, we call myopic. Yet In the sheer state of being -silent, not knowing, intimate-is the promise of our greatest freedom. Bassmi Ibrahim travels this realm in his abstract paintings, conjuring up before our eyes testaments to the creative potential In that freedom. Rather than presenting creation as an idea, his paintings allow form to arise from nothingness. Instead of a symbolic gesture, freedom is the sustained movement of fluid discipline. On white grounds, liquid paint pools and flows, moving from deep concentrations to petals and waves of color, to the most delicate of veils, until they dematerialize into space. We witness in each painting a unique drama of the life of abstract form, but in each it is the act of becoming that is… Read More

From Wikipedia: "Cao Yong (Chinese: 曹勇; born June 9, 1962 in Xinxian, Henan, China) is a Chinese artist whose work depicts Tibet. He spent a year alone in the mountains of Tibet, and the paintings he produced were exhibited in Beijing in early 1989. He was subsequently arrested by the Chinese Authorities with the Beijing Police burning seven of the paintings. He escaped with his fiancée Aya Goda to Japan.[1]Yong began painting when he was 11 years old. Due to his family background, he was considered politically questionable by the Chinese authorities. He studied for a short period with the noted artist Yu Ren who was staying briefly in Xinxian.[2] He attended Henan University and graduated with a BA in Fine Arts. Following his graduation, he took a… Read More

Ot: Canada Department of Northern Affairs and National Resources, 1962. paperback. Good. 0x0x0. Wraps are lightly soiled, stapled binding in very good condition, internally clean. 40 pages, illustrated in black and white. ARTISTIC expression in Canada has taken many and varied forms because of the diverse elements from which our nation has been fashioned. The early French settlers, the British who followed them and the more recent Canadians who have come from many parts of Europe and the world have all made their essential contribution to the cultural life of Canada. Few forms of artistic endeavour, however, have attracted wider public interest and enthusiasm, both here and abroad, than the work of our Indian and Eskimo peoples. This booklet deals exclusively with the remarkable carvings of the Eskimos, a small but important group in the Canadian population. Carving has always been an essential part of the hunting culture of the Cana-dian Eskimos. With only natural resources such as stone,… Read More

Galeri Petronas, 2007. Paperback. Very Good. Scarce. Minor shelf wear, binding tight, pages clean and unmarked. Daerah Samad (Samad's Land) is an exhibition of sketches in ink and handwritten documents by National Literature Laureate A. Samad Said. Having mastered the verbal language of novels, short stories, plays and poems, the artist demonstrates his ability to play with a visual language as well. The artistic elements employed - a basic play of line and colour is expressive, cleverly combining abstract and figurative elements that are not confined to the telling of a story. The calligraphic lines of various qualities and identities create their own expression. From the set of his handwritten manuscripts, we can see how he approaches this creative process with the same discipline and meticulous systems that he gives to his writing process. Text in English and Malay.

Dagmar Glemme, born amidst the mist-kissed forests of Scandinavia, weaves her artistic tapestry from dreams and memories. Her canvases breathe with life, capturing fleeting moments—the delicate flutter of a butterfly’s wing, the melancholy gaze of a moonlit maiden, the whispered secrets of ancient trees. With a masterful blend of realism and magic, Glemme beckons us to step beyond the ordinary and into realms where imagination reigns supreme.
