Self-Portraits II @ Eleanor Ettinger Gallery, NY

 Eleanor Ettinger Gallery is now showing a wonderful self portrait exhibition at it's 57th street location in Manhattan. It includes artists as famous as Degas, and as accomplished as Daniel Greene.  In this exhibition my favorite piece is a self portrait by Paul G Oxborough, an artist who studied in Minneapolis MN, at Atelier Lesueur.  Here are some photos from the show, if you are in the area check it out!

Rob Liberace' solo show at Arcadia in Soho

Rob Liberace is showing recent work at Arcadia Gallery in Soho.  I was not able to go to the opening night, and I'm sorry I missed the two hour demo he did.  Yet, there is much to learn from just seeing his paintings and drawings.  First of all, the works are incredibly dynamic, and he accomplishes that not only by the overall pose, but also by not erasing other positions of the body parts from different moments in time.  He then composes beautiful figures with incredible attention to the human anatomy.  He is known as a master in anatomy, and it's definitely worth seeing his mastery in person.
