This week-end I went to two art openings and two lectures. All four events were wonderful. The New York Academy of Art hosted Xie Dongming, the head of the Third Studio of Oil Painting Department at the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing. He presented a slideshow that included student artwork as well as his own. I found the presentation interesting and the paintings very well executed for the most part. Also Vincent Desiderio spoke at NYAA about his own work, and his experiences in the art world. This was another very informative and inspiring talk. I believe both of these lectures will be available on
NYAA Vimeo page and I highly recommend them.
The pictures below are from Brad Kunkle's art show opening at Arcadia, this past Saturday. The gallery was packed, and the show sold out in the first 28 minutes! A well deserved recognition for this accomplished artist. You can see the entire catalog on
Arcadia's website.
Finally, the
Long Island Academy of Fine Art has opened a brand new gallery,
Hersh Fine Art. It is now showing a selection of works from a group of NYAA alumni. The opening night was wonderful, and if you are in the area I recommend you stop by.
