Mark Seguin - Failures 3

"Failures" by Marc Seguin. Now showing at Mike Weiss Gallery in New York through April 30, 2011

The Mike Weiss Gallery in New York is currently exibiting “Failures” by Canadian artist Marc Seguin.  Using images of war, churches in ruin, assassins and religious figures, Seguin portrays moments in time that are marked by the abscence of success.  His works are done with ash, charcoal and oil on raw canvas and from far away, they all look like photographs.

Failure!

I really enjoyed this exhibit, both for the amazing detail of the works and for the concepts that it made me think about long after I left the gallery.  One of my favorite works in “Failures” is pictured below and it features a skull made out of feathers.  Its placement inside a church is one of the biggest failures of all time – lives senselessly lost over religion.

“Failures” by Marc Seguin is now showing at Mike Weiss Gallery in New York until April 30, 2011.  The gallery is located at 520 West 24th Street in Manhattan.  Don’t miss it!

Stefanie Gutheil - Kopftheater runs until February 20, 2010

Berlin artist Stefanie Gutheil is having her first US show, Kopftheater at the Mike Weiss Gallery from now until February 20, 2010.  It’s really cool so you should check it out if you are in the Chelsea area of New York.  The works are not only based on Gutheil’s own life (yes, she probably needs a hug), but also on life after the fall of the Berlin Wall. Pretty cool stuff, according2g.

See some more photos after the jump.
