Artnet News Spotlight: Spanish Artist Felix R. Cid’s Brings His ‘El Canpo’ State of Mind to a New York Show

With an opening reception slated for January 18, New York-based Allouche Gallery will present “Felix R. Cid: A Mechanical Resolution,” the artist’s third solo show with the gallery. On view through February 12, the exhibition focuses on a new body of work by Cid that considers the processes of art-making within the context of technological advancement. With cacophonous color, cyborg-inspired figuration, and an assortment of mediums—including paint, graphite, spray paint, and silicone, to name just a few—Cid’s paintings invite wandering, visual exploration, even excavation. Along with the visual elements, the discernible processes that go into the work are also pivotal

Juxtapoz Magazine: The Eyes Are Everywhere: Paul Insect Can “Seeyou”

When past Jux cover artist Paul Insect began to work on eyes, there seemed to be a breakthrough. As an artist who started in both design and working on the street, having eyes on your work is both a gift and curse. On the street, you want the best spots and the most eyes to see your work, but also you don’t want the wrong eyes stopping you in the process. The eyes of the law is pervasive. Of course as a painter and designer, the eye is vital. So, as you can see, literally, we are talking about eyes and London’s

Forbes: New York Street and Installation Artist Swoon Uses Humanity as Her Most Powerful Tool

Street and installation artist Swoon, aka Caledonia Dance Curry (b. 1977) takes much pride in subverting expectations, from the art world and otherwise. “It’s not like I don’t do things because I’m worried that they would be perceived as normal,” says Swoon. “Sometimes in life you are born feeling like a bit of an outsider. When that happens you realize that you have to kind of cut your own path in life.” Read the full article here https://www.forbes.com/sites/adamlehrer/2016/02/13/new-york-street-and-installation-artist-swoon-uses-humanity-as-her-most-powerful-tool/?sh=6b67e2284c16

Surface Magazine: Ben Evans Illustrates Poolside Melodrama

At once playful and plaintive, the ascendant painter’s cartoonish rendition of a tennis match gone awry captures a scenic snapshot of sun-soaked surrealism. Here, we ask an artist to frame the essential details behind one of their latest works. An interesting feature that’s not immediately noticeable: Maybe the lack of tennis being played—no tennis ball in sight. I like the idea of them getting all dressed up to smoke a Marlboro Gold in a semi-surreal, pale green tennis court landscape. I stay in a realm of cartoon-ized imagery that exists in between reality and fantasy—kind of the strangeness of a manufactured

ARTSPEAK NYC: Mar 21 Sissòn

Holding your breath suggests anticipation. But to wait to exhale is so much more loaded. The sensation is one of withholding more than anticipating. You want to dance, but only when you can do so with reckless abandon, without surveillance or interruption, or judgment. You want to live, but only on your terms. A real life, not a half life. Portraits of acrylic on canvas depict Black women in their variance and range. The quiet tension that precedes a revelation swirls through their paintings, all of which center the Black woman. Oxygen is the medium of life, and here serves
