2012Feast your eyes on these amazing works by artist Robert Sagerman. His latest exhibit “It’s Time” at Margaret Thatcher Projects in Manhattan is a treat for the senses. Sagerman uses thickened oil paint, applied one stroke at a time with a palette knife, in soft peaks to a canvas over a period of time, creating a heavily textured surface saturated in color. There are so many works on display and they are sure to blow your mind.
EXTREME CLOSEUP!

"The Four Temperament Variations" by Thomas Woodruff at PPOW in Chelsea. Now showing through February 4, 2012.
Full disclosure: I am cutting and pasting these next two paragraphs from the press release because their words capture this amazing exhibit in the most succinct way possible. In Thomas Woodruff’s latest body of work, he tackles the four temperaments as well as the painterly figurative genres of portrait, still-life, landscape, and wild life in his variations. Using his highly cross-referenced pictorial mash-up of visual motifs, this series is a celebration of the emotional value of color, the storytelling potential of character and costuming, and a contemporary revision of the enigmatic mysteries of our collective past. He creates his own beasts, including the “quadicorn” and the “batterfly” and weaves threads from animae, steampunk, and body modification culture into these grand, fabulist images as well as his encyclopedic knowledge of art and fashion history.
The Four Temperaments Variations were inspired by the theories of Hippocrates, around 400 BC, when wise men believed everyone’s body and mind were controlled by four different, mysterious, colored fluids: Sanguinic, Choleric, Melancholic, and Phlegmatic. Imbalance or overabundance of the fluids would cause disease or pre-described behaviors. Treatment would usually involve bleeding, cupping, herbs, and emetics. During the Renaissance this theory was revised to include ideas of temperature. In the Age of Reason, aspects of physiognomy were brought into play, and today many pop psychologists and dating services still find the personality traits useful tools for getting along and finding love. ”The Four Temperament Variations” by Thomas Woodruff is showing at PPOW in Chelsea (located at 535 West 22nd Street, 3rd Floor) in Manhattan through February 4, 2012.

Adam Lambert on The Advocate is in Demand
There are posters all over Chelsea offering to buy pristine copies of the new issue of The Advocate with Adam Lambert on the cover. This person is willing to pay up to $20 in fact for each issue. No disrespect meant to anyone, but if I am paying $20 for a magazine, I’d better open the centerfold and see a baggie of cocaine fall out. And not that shit that college students are cooking up in the bathtub either. You know exactly what I am talking about on all these levels too, so don’t give me that look. I’m just keepin’ it real folks.

PizzaGaga in New York
Wow! What a smart way to appeal to the gays in Chelsea – PizzaGaga! I wonder if the pizza is marginally talented and tastes like all the other pizza but has a great marketing machine so it’s the most popular pizza in the land?
