The chick that was getting all that press in the last whitney biennial (2004) for the painting combining stain painting with dabs of texture? Laura Owensish.
This sort of meets the lady that makes the stain painted waterfalls, Pat Steir, with Japanese Manga with a nod to advertising style nailed down via addidas. THis would make a good shoe advertisement in a Male Interest magazine or whatever. Stuff. It.
Not weird enough.
It reminds me of a high school friend of mine that was a good artist who never went to art school so he never got sophisticated and insrtead got his girlfriend pregnant and dropped out of college. Wonder what happened to him.
or jeff soto, todd schorr, or the La Luz de Jesus Gallery if your into this kind of thing. funny Mark Ryden had a show a few years back in NYC he got a bad review by the NY times. I don't rember her name, the critic but she just did not get his ascetic.
i'm embarrassed that i liked it at first, now i hate it. it's like, wow i can paint realistically but it won't sell if i use pedestrian imagery. i'll put a young hipster in a tree, that'll go and my parents will like it because it'll look like i can paint.
I like Neo Rauch, but from what I see of this persons work its not up to his level at all.
I will add Elizabeth Payton to the list of crapy fake realist painiters who seem to be all ovet the place. I'll take George Bellows any day over these hacks.
"we all desire"???? not me... she can not paint period in my humble opion, they are bad as illustrations and bad as "fine art" check out stuart Pearson Wright, now he can paint a portrait. if that's what your into.
to me they are boring and show a complete lack of drawing skills is that what makes them poignant and unironic? I think its ironic that they are what people thnk of as "hot" right now. Critics like Jerry Saltz...
More adolescent flapdoodle from the 'how can I assure my buyers that I'm technically competent and still telegraph my edgy, tousled young-ness' crowd. Craaaaaaaaap.
I can't muster any enthusiasm for the subject matter, and from the tiny jpeg I don't care for the texture or brushstrokes, but there IS something to be said here for her distribution of lights&darks, the almost neon quality she gets in some of the well-lit places. Some of those leaves jump out against the black in a very...convincing way. That, I think, is succesful and deserve my attention.
And for the last time, damn to hell the illustration vs. fine art discussion. We probably all got enough of that talk at art school, ca we just take it as a given and move on?
i haven't seen the show in person, but judging from the website the paintings (but not the drawings) might be described as dangerously close to Tim Gardner.
I like illustraion. I like fine art, well some of it. I think the illustraion thing is from the flat earth school of art. You know in art school you had people who said anything with any rendering or realistic was illustrative below fine art. These people are snobs and live in their ivory towers(art schools).
I love NC Wyeth. I like Mark Ryden, Todd Schorr, Clayton Brothers.
agreed. he definitely nails some reviews--like the Sarah Morris film or the last Kelly show reviews were good I thought. Btw I think Gardner is much better than this.. and just to dissent I like Peyton at times, think she has a lot of talent, but definitely view her ouvre with some reservations.
I'm not particularly down with all the artists he chooses to champion but he definitely knows his shit and he keeps it interesting. Luckily he's got a pretty good grasp of culture-at-large so his writing stays fresh; up to date. No other critic holds my attention when I'm on the crapper quite like Saltz.

Semi-disturbing imagery, painted like a cheap illustrator.
Just awful.
Bad Influence
really heavy-handed. what are her other images like? same stuff? it's just so... obvious. the adidas are particularly troubling.
bb, was that a rob lowe/james spader number? is it the one where they tie the boss up in the chair and torture him for days?

Ranger Rick.
Youngblood - Cynthia Gibb was hot. Saw it on cable before a debate tournament. Yeah, I'm a nerd.
this really is bad art.
what is it? masked man stalking?
guest of michael jackson?
if you want wierd and good check out mark ryden.
she is a bad arstist, but what difference does that make, the art world is full of people like this.
the auther took them down because he did not want his name on the blog, but it did not work.

There certainly is lots of excellent illustration out there, but this isn't excellent illustration.

par for the course if you look at the rest of the stable of Artists, odd gallery with reception photo's and scope hamptons...
"paintings are populated by cool-kids wrestling and acting out"
suspect.
I think her other work is better, but the other artist in the gallery Hans Aichinger is kind of the same. They could be painting each others work.
The color by numbers bit is way to "cool" for me.
She's tring to hard to be trendy.
no, i think paeyton is poignant. unironic portrait paintings of people we all desire.
"we all desire"????
not me... she can not paint period in my humble opion, they are bad as illustrations and bad as "fine art"
check out stuart Pearson Wright, now he can paint a portrait. if that's what your into.

Rubbish, its just plain rubbish.

drop the "we"

It would make a nice album cover, though.

Gardner another hack...
Saltz was a truck driver as well.

Good work is good work.

i like this this
Saltz's is allright.
I'm not particularly down with all the artists he chooses to champion but he definitely knows his shit and he keeps it interesting. Luckily he's got a pretty good grasp of culture-at-large so his writing stays fresh; up to date. No other critic holds my attention when I'm on the crapper quite like Saltz.
of course, if homes ever gives me a bad review I'm coming after his family.
C'mon BB, "that kitty's got claws"? The year is 2006, not 1956.
Yeah and C'mon she didn't even take them all the way out.
