Pierogi

Posted in Uncategorized on January 27, 2010| 1 Comment »

I am very lucky to be able to intern for Pierogi. This gallery is located in Brooklyn and is just a 20 minute commute on the subway from the area where I live (and where my studio is).

The first opening I attended in New York was at Pierogi. The featured artists were Tony Fitzpatrick and Chan Kok Hooi. Here is a link to their work and some information about them. It was a great show! It is so much fun to be able to meet the artists associated with Pierogi. They are not only extremely talented, but they are very nice too. That’s refreshing!

The paintings are often parallel to my personal life experience. I try to capture the feeling or idea that I have, but try to leave many interpretations and mystery.

My favorite restaurant in NY so far is Freeman’s. I went there for brunch and nothing has topped it so far. Yes, even the pizza! Although that is very good too and I have had my share of that!

I had a chance to see the famed Rocketts! They were great!

The first day the quarter started, I decided to go to the Guggenheim to see the Kandinsky show. The show was fabulous and showed most of his works spiraling around 8 floors. Here are a couple of pictures of the building above and some pictures I took on the street.

My studio is located in the Elizabeth Fountdation for the Arts. There is a pic of my studio (before I have started any painting!) and a picture of the view outside of the window.
