Susan_Te_Kahurangi_King

Andrew Edlin Gallery presents debut solo gallery exhibition in the United States of the drawings of Susan Te Kahurangi King, a self-taught artist from New Zealand. Around the age of four, for no apparent reason, Susan stopped speaking, but continued to express herself through prolific drawings and sketchbooks. In King’s compositions, viewers will find peculiar perspectives, a collage-like, breaking-up of pictorial space and the subject matter she depicts in it, and a rollicking sense of the artist’s powerful and expressive art-making line. Susan Te Kahurangi King's exhibiton – Drawings from Many Worlds– will be on view at the Andrew Edlin Gallery until December 20, 2014, 34 Tenth Avenue New York. 

ANDRO WEKUA at Sprueth Magers

ANDRO WEKUA at Sprueth Magers

For his first exhibition with Sprüth Magers, Andro Wekua will transform the London gallery by installing a wall constructed of rough breeze blocks, partially obscuring the view into the space through the large bay window. While from the exterior the blocks will be untreated and exposed, the interior side of the wall will have a smooth white surface as if to disguise it from within, allowing the wall to blend seamlessly into the interior space. Within the gallery, Wekua will suspend from the ceiling a life-sized sculpture of an androgynous adolescent. Andro Wekua's Some Pheasants In Singularity will be on view at Sprüth Magers until November 15, 7A Grafton Street London

BODYRITE will be on view until November 26 at Asya Geisberg Gallery 537B West 23rd Street

MICHEL PÉREZ POLLO @ Mai 36

mai_36_MICHEL_PÉREZ_POLLO

Michel Pérez Pollo paintings may seem childlike and naive, his concern is to avoid faithful accuracy in favor of a universal expression. His models are figures and shapes made of modeling clay, which he greatly enlarges and exaggerates when painting them. Pérez is more interested in the fundamental constellations of human existence and interaction than in any popular ubiquitous and increasingly hollow social criticism. Michel Pérez Pollo New Workwill be on view at the Mai 36 Galerie until December 20, 2014, Rämistrasse 37 CH-8001 Zürich
