Across Space and Time (The Divine Feminine) by Anastasia Pelias at JONATHAN FERRARA GALLERY, New Orleans

Across Space and Time (The Divine Feminine) by Anastasia Pelias at JONATHAN FERRARA GALLERY, New Orleans

By: Joe Craig for Burnaway

A passage in Rodin’s notebook describes a torso as “…that garden of pleasure the secret charms of which imbue old and young alike with a terrible power. Feminine charm which crushes our destiny, mysterious feminine power that retards the thinker, the worker, and the artist, while at the same time it inspires them—a compensation for those who play with fire!” Entering Anastasia Pelias’s Across Space and Time (The Divine Feminine) at JONATHAN FERRARA GALLERY, a six-foot torso-like form looms, echoing Rodin’s sentiment. This archetypal shape presides over the entryway, serving as the foundational marker upon which the exhibition operates. From the torso, all appendages extend.

The invitational, on view at the museum through Sept. 17, 2023, is a biennial survey of recent works from contemporary artists living and working across the state.

Is it time for a female artist to design the Jazz Fest poster?

Is it time for a female artist to design the Jazz Fest poster?

By: Doug Maccash for NOLA.com

The annual Jazz Fest poster is probably the most avidly collected piece of art in New Orleans. The subjects of the souvenir silk screens, from Professor Longhair to Pete Fountain to Dr. John, are our musical heroes. That combination of iconic musicians and popular artists has made the posters irresistible. But there’s a problem.

 

 

 

As far as poster painters are concerned, here are a few possibilities. Try to imagine how these women's work would translate to a musician's portrait or festival landscape.

 

How about figural artist Ruth Owens? If you want a poster with emotional punch, look no further. 

 

Fabric artist and part-time musician Gina Phillips could bring amazing texture to a print featuring Ms. Daigle, right?

PHOTOGRAPHERS TO KNOW: E2 – KLEINVELD & JULIEN

PHOTOGRAPHERS TO KNOW: E2 – KLEINVELD & JULIEN

By: Alexandra Zagalsky for The Study 1st Dibs

It’s often said that the best kind of art holds a mirror up to society. But reflections can also create distorted images that need redressing. With a mix of humor, irreverence and irony, photographic duo E2 — New Orleans natives Elizabeth Kleinveld and Epaul Julien — re-create masterpieces from previous eras in ways that reflect a view of the world more relevant and engaging to visual art’s growing audiences.

 

In doing so, the pair explores race, gender, sexuality, socioeconomic status and beauty, prompting a revaluation of the norms and stereotypes perpetuated by the Western art canon. The act of dismantling these established “truths,” however, isn’t a reductive process for E2. Rather, their glossy hyperreal photographs are lavishly constructed compositions.

Esperanza Cortés: Tierra Dentro

By: The Current

Esperanza Cortés is a Colombian born multidisciplinary artist based in New York City. Cortes’s passion for the mosaic of the Americas, its folk art traditions, rituals, music, dance and their ever evolving changes are at the core of her sculptures, paintings, installations, site-specific projects and interventions. Her artwork examines the extent to which a consciousness, national or personal, defines itself through the opposing force of a transcultural experience. The work is poetically and intricately crafted to encourage the viewer to reconsider social and historical narratives especially when dealing with Colonialism and raises critical questions about the politics of erasure and exclusion.

By: Jennifer Katz

Iserlohn. When Niels Gamm, head of the Kulturbüro and head of the Parktheater, sat down with Jutta Bengelsträter Ewest and Werner A. Ewest in autumn 2021 and the next exhibition was being planned, Corona had largely paralyzed the cultural scene. Nobody knew how it would go on and what restrictions would come. And the war in Ukraine and the energy crisis could not even be foreseen, Ewest looks back Under the title Blick vornn (Looking Forward), the gallery owner couple has now brought together six artists from five countries, who have delivered very different yet matching works on the subject. Four of them have never been seen in Iserlohn with their pictures. Although Jutta Bengelsträter-Ewest regularly curates exhibitions for the theatre, this time there is something new: ten percent of the sale of the pictures will be donated to the association. "We want to give something back," says Werner A. Ewest

JONATHAN FERRARA GALLERY proudly presents CUBA REVISITED, an exhibition celebrating the gallery’s return to its work in Cuba that dates back to 2001.

The exhibition features the work of nine Havana-based artists working in various media including painting, collage, photography, and sculpture. In a nod to the past, three artists from the first two shows: Damian Aquiles, Nelson Ramirez, and Ernesto Leal are featured alongside a new generation of young Cuban artists.

Just over twenty years ago at the beginning of the 2000s, New Orleans art curator and gallery owner Jonathan Ferrarra conducted dozens of artist studio visits across Havana, Cuba. The result was two exhibitions, Made in Cuba (2001) and Havana Inside Out (2003), which were massively successful for the artists as well as the gallery.

In Cuba, Revisited, which is currently on display, Ferrarra looks back at many of the highlights from these Cuban exhibitions, exhibiting the works of nine Havana-based artists.

Tiffany Calvert: Image Value Review for Number: Inc Magazine

reviewed by: Joe Craig

In computer science, a "value" is defined as a unit of data that can be calculated or manipulated by a program. It can be a digit, a single letter, or a specific sequence of characters. When applied to images, every pixel is a unit of account containing the values that represent a block of color. Pattern recognition is achieved by interpreting average image values—extrapolating on these values and generating new graphic arrangements. Tiffany Calvert’s solo exhibition at Jonathan Ferrara takes its title from this term—Image Value—using machine learning to synthesize approximations of 17th-century Dutch still lifes. The artist prints these mutant compositions on canvas and embellishes the surface with swaths of impasto paint.

by: International Art Exhibitions

Unveiling thirteen new paintings, this exhibition serves as a letter to art history, literature, and mythology. An attempt to reflect the social changes that have reshaped society over the past century, Michael Tole explores the evolution of gender norms, power dynamics, and representation within Western visual and literary culture, negotiating aesthetic pleasure, justice, and cultural discourse on beauty. Following his inclusion in the 25th Annual ‘No Dead Artists’, Tole was selected as the grand prize winner of the exhibition and recipient of a solo exhibition at the gallery in 2022.

Tiffany Calvert interviewed for Evergreen Review

by: Joy Garnett

Joy Garnett: When we first met years ago, I visited your studio in Brooklyn. I noticed source materials that appeared to be unrelated, such as Old Masters paintings, architectural structures, and what we all used to call "new media." Were you already trying to make connections in your work between these far-flung elements? Why do it through painting?

Tiffany Calvert: Well, I used paint in my formative years, but I wasn’t much of a painter. In the nineties, installation art was queen. I thought that no one made abstract paintings anymore, so I made installations and sometimes paintings, and ascribed to the idea that concept should lead and medium was merely a tool for ideas. It wasn’t until grad school at Rutgers and training with Thomas Nozkowski that I came to understand paint itself as an idea-driver...

Art that Elevates the Human Spirit

 

From the artistry of the 14-story architecture that showcases stunning views and light-filled spaces for children, to the stunning artworks created especially for the facility, Children’s Pavilion is designed to bring comfort, inspiration and healing to all who enter its doors.

 

Art enhances and humanizes the hospital environment for patients, families, and staff. And a growing body of evidence shows infusing the arts into places of healing can improve both body and spirit.

 

The arts can be particularly important in mental health treatment: Healing emotional injuries. Helping patients understand themselves and others. Developing capacity and space for self-reflection that can lead to changing behaviors and thinking patterns.

 

Besides being inspired by the art that surrounds them in Children’s Pavilion, children who come here for treatment will also be able to make their own art -- through painting, music, dance -- to dovetail with the art on display.

 

The art here not only elevates the human spirit, but the mission of mental health treatment. It brings a sense of joy and extends the idea of healing beyond these walls of Children’s Pavilion to the community that rallied to build it.

Meet Five Artists Who Are Recharging the Arts

By: CaFE

Last December, CaFÉ opened Recharge the Arts, a call for entry which was originally intended to feature artwork throughout our website and our Instagram page. Beyond that, the goal behind Recharge the Arts is to showcase the resiliency, hope, and endurance of the community of artists that use CaFÉ following years of hardship caused by the pandemic, ongoing racial injustice, climate change, and more.

After receiving over 1,700 artwork submissions from more than 400 artists around the country, we hope to showcase even more of the incredible talent from the artist community. In this blog post, we are highlighting five artists whose work has been inspired by or created during these recent challenges. Featuring Sherell Chillik, Tony Dagradi, Morgan Johnson, Arthur Kobin, and Daniel Merkowitz-Bustos, you can read more about each artist, view their artwork, and read a short Q&A with each artist to find out just what they are doing to recharge the arts! 

Art of the Book

Art of the Book

Rochester Public Library

In 2011, we held the first Art of the Book exhibit in honor of the 100th anniversary of the Rochester Public Library. At the time, we wanted to celebrate what has been at the core of libraries for centuries–the book. We marveled over the intricate interpretations of this humble format, and we were thrilled with the response to the exhibit from the community.

In subsequent years, the exhibit has grown to include entries from all over the world, featuring well-known artists for their exquisite work. We have built a reputation worldwide among book artists, and we are so pleased to see that reputation upheld.

Books continue to ensnare the imagination, both for their form and content. Artists manipulate those two components to create breathtaking, mind-bending works of art that tease and cajole people to consider the intricacies of paper, ink, words, and meaning.

The Open Studios Press was founded in 1993 as a vehicle for facilitating contact between artists and art enthusiasts. To date, our critically acclaimed periodical, New American Paintings, has featured the work of more than three thousand painters from throughout the United States, many of whom have gone on to receive international attention. The publication benefits artists and viewers alike. While included painters receive international exposure, those with an interest in contemporary painting are provided with an invaluable resource for discovering new artistic talent. New American Paintings is a juried exhibition-in-print. Each museum-quality issue results from a highly selective juried competition and presents the work of forty painters. Thousands of artists enter our competitions every year, but only a limited number make it through the jurying process. We work closely with renowned curators in order to select those artists whose work deserves to be seen by a wider audience. Unlike other art publications, New American Paintings does not discriminate by style or yield to art-world trends.

New American Paintings - Kristin Moore

New American Paintings - Kristin Moore

New American Paintings was founded in 1993 as an experiment in art publishing. With over five thousand artists reviewed annually, it has become America's largest and most important series of artist competitions. Each competition is catalogued in a unique volume: Northeast, South, Midwest, West, Pacific Coast, and MFA Annual. Featured artists are selected on the basis of artistic merit and provided space for free. 

"My paintings explore the landscapes of Texas, California, and the highways in between. Growing up in Texas and living out-of-state in California generated an appreciation for the visual transition that we see between cities when in a car or an airplace. I reference signage, architecture, and the natural landscape to oscillate between themes of memory and nostalgia."

'No Dead Artists' exhibit by emerging artists offers dreamy visions ripe with social comment

'No Dead Artists' exhibit by emerging artists offers dreamy visions ripe with social comment

D. Eric Bookhardt reviews the 23rd Annual No Dead Artists Exhibition

Psychologists long have suggested that dreams are a way our subconscious minds reorder everyday events into more symbolic narratives. Some artists and poets use dream imagery to suggest heightened awareness. Even so, it may seem surprising that so many dreamy images appear in Jonathan Ferrara Gallery’s 23rd annual “No Dead Artists” expo of work by emerging artists in an age when alarming political events are supposed to usher in protest art. Is this just a subjective reaction to political figures who appear to live in a dream world untethered to any verifiable reality? Many of these dreamy views are infused with biting or ironic social content reflecting a range of contemporary issues.

In its own way, tracing the origins of painter Margaret Evangeline’s current works at Elizabeth Moore Fine Art recapitulates the ontogeny of creole New Orleans. Last summer, the artist’s random discovery of an alleged image of Marie du Barry, consort to King Louis XV, led to a fascinating investigation of the tangled and wrought histories of three Maries: Anna Marie Tussaud, Marie Jeanne Becu du Barry, and Marie Laveau.

“Emergency Response Studio” is a conceptual project by the artist Paul Villinski, inspired by post-Katrina New Orleans. Visiting the hurricane-ravaged city in August 2006, the artist wished he could transport his studio down from New York to create work in response to the tragedy. Instead, he converted a 30-foot Gulf Stream Cavalier trailer into a mobile live-and-work studio space.

A post-disaster trailer home can hardly be called a work of architecture. But Nikolaus Pevsner's well-known aphorism about Lincoln Cathedreal -- a bicycle shed is a building, but the cathedral is a piece of architecture -- might favorably apply to Paul Villinski's reinvention of a FEMA-style trailer as a genuine piece of design.

Paul Villinski takes discarded beer cans and turns them into wall displays of colorful butterflies; he takes work gloves left in the gutter and stitches them into giant wings, the gloves' fingers fluttering like feathers; and when he was in flood-ravaged New Orleans in 2006, he roamed the streets looking through the trash people carted out of ruined homes and collected their warped old records, then began working with those too.

He is also a pilot of sailplanes and gliders, and his artwork often alludes to ascendance, as experience and as metaphor.
