Todd Norsten doesn't mince words with his paintings. That's a definite pun and you'll find the back story here.

What looks like a statement made with blue, painter's tape is actually a screen print of a painting.

Re-photography

.
.

.
.
It's not an installation shot. This work, by Miriam Bohm, is a photograph of two photographs of more photographs. Is this another kind of 3-dimensional photography?
.
At first glance, we enter into the subject matter of the original pictures. Seconds pass and our mind tells us there are complications. And so we go about solving these intellectually stimulating, visual riddles.

This image is from her Show at Ratio 3 Gallery.

In Between The Lines

.

.
.
Jennifer Riley likes to play nice. When she colors she stays in the lines; and what beautiful lines they are indeed. This image, from her latest show at Allegra LaViola Gallery, is a departure from her more (and every bit as interesting) geometric works at Heskin Contemporary. 
.
You'll enjoy seeing her paintings in this James Kalm Video of the show. At 5:05 minutes in, Jennifer talks about the painting process and how she came to this new organic style.

Zippity-Do-Dah

This image is from the George Lawson Gallery where you'll find more paintings with titles that, very appropriately, evoke movement. To see even more works on canvas or paper, visit her Website.
