Some gallery openings of note this past weekend:
Charles Dunn’s first solo-show of paintings, “Demons” opened at Number 35 Gallery on Saturday. “In the few paintings in this exhibition, Dunn created forms that try to soar, move and dance and yet are confined within the limited size of the rectangular canvas,“states the press release. Dunn was also in the last show at Number 35, alongside Gary Rough, which was explained as resembling “postcards from the edge” by curator Gavin Morrison in a letter he wrote to the artists.
Fusion Arts Museum presented, “Selected works 1966-2010”, an overview of over forty years of work by founder Shalom Neuman. In this show, according to the press release, “the artist sees his work as a language which speaks directly to American culture with its chaos, conflict, waste and utter confusion.” Neuman, the creator of Fusion Arts has been written about by art critic Donald Kuspit, who says that Neuman is “an unprecedented phenomenon,” and “a multi-talented, brilliant draughtsman.” The article can be read here.
