Doze Green
New York! Make sure you don’t miss a trio of great artists under one roof. Jonathan LeVine in New York is showing not one but 3 exhibits through June 16, 2012.
First up is “Luminosity in the Dark Rift” by Doze Green (see photo above). Fun fact about Doze Green: in the early 80’s he was one of the original b-boy members of the Rock Steady Crew.
Eric White
In the center gallery is “Transmission” by Eric White. The paintings reference films set in New York City as White reinterprets cinematic car sequences as a means of exploring film and dream narrative, metaphysics, psychological dysfunction and the limits of perception.
Kevin Cyr
Last and certainly not least, in the 3rd gallery is “In Praise of Rust” by Kevin Cyr. Cyr paints old vehicles seen on the streets of New York—primarily vans and commercial delivery trucks—covered in graffiti, rust, scratches, scuffs, dents and other marks of distinction. For fans of graffiti and street art, you’ll see many familiar stickers and tags that Cyr has recreated in his paintings including the work of Neck Face (as pictured above).
Don’t miss this great exhibit featuring the works of Doze Green, Eric White and Kevin Cyr at Jonathan LeVine Gallery (located at 529 West 20th Street, 9th Floor) in New York. These works are on display until June 16, 2012.

Anish Kapoor at Gladstone Gallery in New York through June 9, 2012
Indian born and London based artist Anish Kapoor has two great exhibits showing in New York simultaneously at Gladstone Gallery (through June 9, 2012). Pictured above is one of 22 free-standing cement sculptures (and can be seen at the 515 West 24th Street location).

The second of the 2 part exhibition takes place at Gladstone Gallery (located at 530 West 21st Street) and is a massive dome-shaped sculpture (hollow in the center). Anish Kapoor will be unveiling Britain’s largest public art work at the 2012 Olympics later this year and you know it will be amazing!
Until then, the duo of Anish Kapoor exhibits are running at Gladstone Gallery in New York through June 9, 2012.
Spotted at the opening of these exhibits were writer Salman Rushdie as well as artist Matthew Barney along with Bjork and of course Anish Kapoor was on hand and after the jump, see a photo of me with the artist.

"An Economy of Grace" by Kehinde Wiley. Now showing at Sean Kelly Gallery in NYC through June 16, 2012.
Kehinde Wiley is on fire! His art is in the permanent collections across the country and as is the current art trend, he has not one but two major exhibitions happening simultaneously in New York. “An Economy of Grace” is showing at Sean Kelly Gallery and “The World Stage: Israel” is showing at the Jewish Museum.
Kehinde Wiley
The detail, sizes of paintings and color schemes Wiley uses are great and are very impressive when viewed up close. “An Economy of Grace” was inspired by the marginalization of African-American women in art history. In addition, Wiley collaborated with Riccardo Tisci, Creative Director of the famed French couture house Givenchy, who created dresses that Wiley’s models wore. Kehinde Wiley is not stopping there, however. A documentary inspired by “An Economy of Grace” is being made and he’s also designed the artwork for singer Santigold’s latest record. Go Kehinde, go!
Off with that white woman's head!
“An Economy of Grace” by Kehinde Wiley is running through June 16, 2012 at Sean Kelly Gallery, which is located at 528 West 29th Street in New York.

John Chamberlain - Choices. Now showing at the Guggenheim Museum in New York through May 13, 2012
Prepare to be wowed when you go to the Guggenheim Museum in New York for an retrospective of works by John Chamberlain entitled “Choices.” Chamberlain made sculptures out of scrap metal from used car parts and his career spanned decades.
John Chamberlain
I’d estimate there are no less than 40 sculptures of varying sizes, shapes and colors and seeing all of these works together is extremely impressive. It’s heart breaking that Chamberlain died in December 2011, so he did not get to see the fantastic arrangement of his art in the spiral shaped museum.
John Chamberlain
“Choices” by John Chamberlain runs until May 13, 2012 at the Guggenheim Museum in New York (located at 1071 Fifth Avenue at 89th Street). Get your art on and don’t miss it!
