The Lehmann Maupin Gallery presents THE BEARD PICTURES, a collection of pictures commemorating the 50th anniversary of Gilbert & George. The artists present themselves as two haunting figures, using their amorphous beards as a site for political and cultural critique. Scattered with fences and flowers, this series of self-portraits pieces together a narrative about an ever-changing urban landscape its constant turmoil. The 35 images that make up THE BEARD PICTURES will be on view at Lehmann Maupin’s Chelsea and downtown Manhattan locations until December 22nd. photographs by Adam Lehrer
Painting. Multi-media. Installation. Sculpture. All of these tags have been applied to the practice of New York-based artist Adam Parker Smith. All of these tags are or have been correct in their labeling of Smith’s work. But as wild and conceptual as Smith’s work gets at times, he roots his art in the fundamentals of painting. Whether he’s making mylar balloon sculptures or putting together an exhibition of works stolen from other artists (as he did with his Lu Magnus Gallery exhibition Thanks), he’s doing so with acknowledgement of the fundamentals of painting: “I think my work can be jarring but a lot of times it is smooth and cumulative,” he says while laboring over the installation of his current solo show at The Hole in NYC, entitled Oblivious the Greek. “The work moves well, it’s balanced, and its colors compliment it. One of the elements that make a work successful is being attractive.” Click here to read.
