Viewing nature through his singular vision, Arnold Helbling abstracts its forms and renders them with a distinctive palette featuring tones simultaneously soft and lush. These paintings can be read as both representational (microscopic views of cell structure) and as abstract (permutations on a somewhat refashioned grid.) Helbling’s touch of brush to canvas both challenges and seduces the viewer.

Stephen Ellis has been a staple of New York School painting for over thirty years. His work is bold and assertive, often with multiple layers which tend to work against a singular reading of the canvas. Yet this work is rendered with complete assurance by a hand that understands full well the attitudes and history of the New York School and expands the canon.

Valerie Jaudon makes work so exquisitely crafted that it almost belies its place in a field where “expression” is often defined by an emotional use of the brushstroke. Her brushstrokes do indeed carry emotion, but they are controlled by a rigorous attention to the formal elements of the painting’s structure and thus the viewer must approach the canvas with an inquiring eye to become fully engaged. It is this formality which allows Jaudon’s work to expand beyond the studio and the canvas to become part of our day-to-day environment. Two such examples of this are the plaza, courtyard, and pool at St. Louis’s historic Wainwright Building (1981) and the design of Filippine Garden (2004), the park immediately in front of the Thomas F. Eagleton Courthouse.

Het leven met de in Amsterdam gevestigde Amerikaanse kunstenaar Henry Theodore Watson is voor de jonge Elzbieta Różewicz een vlucht uit het Berlijn van 1999 waar ze alleen is achtergebleven nadat haar ouders zijn omgekomen bij een auto-ongeluk. Henry laat haar in het begin van hun huwelijk nog meewerken aan zijn kunstprojecten, maar na een vernietigende recensie van hun performance in het Stedelijk Museum sluit hij haar buiten.Wanneer Henry in New York is, sterft hun doodzieke hond. Henry grijpt de situatie aan voor een nieuw kunstproject. Elzbieta’s gedrag begint provocerende trekken te vertonen. Dat de hond vervangen zal worden door een nieuwe, lijkt onafwendbaar.
