The Conference of The Birds at Shirley Fiterman Art Center

Shirley Fiterman Art Center is now hosting a new art exhibition with a very specific theme: Birds.  The curator, Brenda Zlamany, brought together a variety of works from paintings and drawings to digital and even performance art.  This I believe is the strength of the show, there is something for everyone's taste. Here are some of my favorite pieces.  Please go and see the show for yourself!

Art New York Art Fair -Sweets and more

Art New York  just ended but the art still lingers on my mind.  I had the pleasure of viewing Odd Nerdrum's paintings up close as well as Eric Fischl.  There were many other impressive paintings in the fair, such as those in the New York Academy of Art's booth.  Over and over again I was delighted by sculptures and three dimensional wall pieces. Some included video and digital images, making them quite interesting to watch.  One theme I observed was candy galore, big boxes of chocolate, big candy jars and more.  For those with a love of art and a sweet tooth those really hit the mark.  Here are a few of my favorites pieces, enjoy!
