Paco Pomet "Montaigne's Nightmare"

Paco Pomet was born in Granada Spain. Pomet studied in the Fine Arts Department of the University of Granada, the Academia de España in Rome and the School of Visual Arts in New York. He has several techniques in which make his paintings stand out from the ordinary and which makes him very unique. I find him interesting because his paintings are of old archival photographs that include silly, surreal, and absurd elements. He might add a bird’s beak to someone’s face, or enlarge or shrink their hands or feet to an abnormal size, add animal faces to human figures, shrink a figure in a painting and so on to what some times look like historic photographs. His surreal elements allow his paintings to oscillate between fiction and reality. What also makes him stand out is that most of his paintings are in black and white, some have a hint of color to them, and some paintings are in an overall monotone but they aren’t boring but instead this technique adds to the concealed expressions that are confusing in his paintings. They are overall mysterious and illogical but humorous.

 Paco Pomet's exhibition "Montaigne's Nightmare" will be shown at Monya Rowe Gallery, September 10^th - November 13^th 2010. Monya Rowe Gallery is located at 
504 West 22nd Street, New York, NY.

Sharon Florin, Susan Pyzow, Emily Trueblood: “Triple Play: Flatiron/Gramercy from 3 Angles”

Sharon Florin, Susan Pyzow, Emily Trueblood are three New York artists who have won awards and have exhibited in private, corporate and museum collections. These tree ladies share the same subject matter in their art of urban landscapes and architecture of New York City. I thought this exhibition was cool because the work from these three artists are very similar and are really of the same subject matter. I think its great that these three artists decided to join together and collaborate their work together in the same space. These works are both paintings and prints. What I found interesting is that these three artists live and work in the same areas and developed a concept to work together as a team exhibition, which they are not used to and usually show their own work as a individual artists. Although these three women all share the same subject matter of NYC landscape and architecture, they all use different mediums, which, I thought, made the exhibition a lot more interesting. Emily Trueblood creates these great linear linoleum cuts of silhouette like architecture, Sharon Florin creates these magnificent detailed oil paintings, and Susan Pyzow creates these bright realistic acrylic paintings. Each of these artists have their own techniques, but their work depicts NYC so well together, its like they were always meant to show their work in the same space. There are a total of 42 works being shown.

Sharon Florin received her BA in art at Adelphi University in 1973 and has been a professional artist for 35 years. Here are a couple of Sharon's works: 

Susan Pyzow was born in the Bronx in 1955 and received her BFA at Cooper Union in 1976 and her MFA from Buffalo University in 1978. Here are a couple of Susan's works:
