@tim_cook Technology really is the true enemy of creativity and humanity. This ad just shows the cruelty and arrogance of companies and people who are in denial about it all. When will humans stop believing the farce that faster & cheaper always leads to a better life? I feel crushed.

Go see Yevgenia Baras at Sargent’s Daughters Gallery NYC https://t.co/LHOTQD6Fm2
Her textured pieces improbable yet somehow magically survive in the language of painting while simultaneously debunking it. Rich surfaces and colors, she is generous with her pictures. Until Dec 9

Steve DiBenedetto: Uncertainty Takes a Holiday, and Vian Sora: End of Hostilities both at David Nolan Gallery NYC https://t.co/YPrlaqSJus until Dec 9. Seeing these artists’ works in person is a must.

Curated by Jenna Hamed, Material Evidence features Esperanza Mayobre and Nazanin Noroozi together at Baxter Street Camera Club of New York https://t.co/NX6tAur9QX through Dec 6. The photographic image lives beyond document and transforms into unique object of human hand.

This painting of mine "A Light Scolding on a Sunny Day" from 2019 was sold into a corporate collection. It is 30in x 24in (76cm x 61cm), acrylic on canvas. I was looking at mineral formations, skulls, thrones, and waterfalls during the process. What do you see? @_MarthaMay

@naturlichturism Nice painting

@metmuseum I saw this exhibition yesterday and it was magnificent. I was most intrigued by the metal crucifixes/processional crosses that had African influences to their shapes

[Chris Nau visual artist @ChrisNauArtist]

@lucianaguerraok Looking good in there. I like the studio view

[Chris Nau visual artist @ChrisNauArtist]

In my painting "Remembered and Forgotten" I created an abstract portrait reminiscent of the robes, flourish, and background of fine tapestry seen portraits of royalty, but with character of total mystery. Visit https://t.co/CyhiGvfvQF for more paintings of mystery. @_MarthaMay

What a dramatic way to stand up to your parents! In the 13th century, St. Francis made a strong public statement about money and morality, by stripping off his clothes in public and returning them to his earthly father, whom he renounced for his heavenly one.

Just look at my painting ‘Ardent’ from this year. BOOM. I’ll post some in-process shots SOON.

Any idea what this painting is based on??

Hi @_MarthaMay it’s still Wednesday in NYC!! Hope you are well… ;-)

Diana Al-Hadid at @Kasmingallery Manhattan. A sculptor who constructs forceful mixed-media objects while sometimes conjuring the ghosts of painting: marks in space, scratches, shattered picture planes, space as material, and embedded visage. Awesome show.

Tom LaDuke at https://t.co/dO8b2TK6DJ Miles McEnery Gallery in Chelsea, Manhattan. Go see this show for picture-plane shattering, sci-fi space gallery paint as an object juicy metallic madness. I LOVE his work.

Nearly finished carving the central part of a late 15th century predella. This is the last shell.

Some great work at @markelfinearts
A bright solo show of Fran Shalom, as well as a group show curated by the artist with Meg Atkinson, Jimbo Blachly, Sharon Horvath, and Leslie Robert’s. A feast of abstraction, and some refreshingly original work.

[Chris Nau visual artist @ChrisNauArtist]

Gorgeous show by Martha Clippinger at Elizabeth Harris Gallery in Chelsea area of Manhattan. Hand-woven wool tapestries and quirky, bright, painted wood constructions

[The Morgan @MorganLibrary]

Open now! "Medieval Money, Merchants, and Morality" brings together some of the Morgan's most acclaimed manuscripts with exceptional loans, like a nearly 800lb medieval strongbox, to chart the economic revolution at the end of the Middle Ages and the early Renaissance.
