SUMMARY:Textiles That Talk: Tales of Rugged & Refined Beauty
DESCRIPTION:Years of searching for striking fabrics\, fibers and stories culminate in our latest Folk Art is Fine Art installation\, a sensuous journey around the globe with stops in Indonesia\, Japan\, Thailand\, Laos\, Guatemala\, Mexico\, Panama\, Peru\, South Africa\, Madagascar\, Indonesia\, Bangladesh\, Turkey\, Kurdistan and Afghanistan. We chronicle the how and why that is so distinctive to each artist\, spotlighting their creative springboards built from generations of artistry and practice. Common to all: turning out high design with medium derived directly from Mother Nature. \nFind colorful Mayan iconography\, woven and wrapping carved wooden stools; striking Kurdish saddlebags of hand-spun camel hair and wool; Escher-like Indonesian silks. See how daily needs meet art in the form of fish nets\, floor coverings\, amulets and space definers. All exquisite museum-quality\, they are sourced from the earth and long held tradition. Their stories are even more striking.

SUMMARY:Songlines: Contemporary Aboriginal Masters
DESCRIPTION:Across the vast and rugged expanses of Australia’s Central Desert\, Aboriginal Peoples have long recorded their journeys with ritual songs. Over sandhills\, along rock formations and salty lakes\, in caves and on weathered sandstone mesas\, women stop to take stock of their surroundings\, to remember the land of their forebears\, to honor their heritage. They are the dancers\, singers and orators doing the critical work for their survival. Examining the earth’s floor all the way up to the galaxies\, they assess their geographics\, their water sources\, what is edible\, medicinal and forbidden of local plants and animals. Reveling in daylight travel and night constellations\, their rhythm\, their melodies are informed by a belief system that has coursed through time. \nPainters have been essential in Aboriginal clans as they capture these ceremonies of song and movement by plotting symbols\, landmarks and colors in meticulous mappings of past\, present and future. The renderings are called “Dreamings\,” and the lines\, dots\, circles\, U-shapes\, concentrics and rectangles depict age-old treks and current topography. \nOur focus has been on Australia’s Central Desert\, and this year we showcase the founders of Papunya’s modernist movements and some of their direct disciples. Giants among them are Clifford Possum Tjapaltjarri and Turkey Tolson Tjupurrula\, two of the first Aboriginal artists to put acrylic on canvas and two Chairmans of the Papunya Tula Artists.  Possum’s strikingly detailed Dreamings enlivened generations to come. Tolson’s mesmerizing mix of color and form transcends the Central Desert with an unmistakably mid-century feel. \nThey mentored (and in some instances\, parented) leading painters featured on our walls\, We are proud to feature ​ Bambatu Campbell Napangardi’s woven ​paint\, Gabriella Possum Nungurrayi’s vivid perspective\, Julie Nangala’s sinuous waterflow\, Betty Mbitjana’s bold body design\, William Sandy’s​ desert wildlife tracks; Nellie Marks Nakamarra’s​ balance of ​earth’s richest tones\, and Timmy Payungka Tjapangati’s maze-like reductionist work.

SUMMARY:Amy Kaslow Gallery Presents: Artist Talk with Chukwudinma Nsofor
DESCRIPTION:Chukwudinma Nsofor paints boldly\, brushing fast moving shapes with intense color changes of human energy. You can see traces of his hand lifting from the pigment. He calls his large-scale works documentary narratives\, abstract canvases that command a longer look and simply become immersive. The artist has plenty on his mind. \nA Nigerian Igbo crown prince from Oguta\, where lakes meet rivers and Uli iconography has decorated bodies and murals since the Ninth Century\, Chukwudinma’s reference point is Africa’s most populated nation of 350+ ethnic groups co-existing\, often uneasily. \nDevastated and divided by colonialism\, Nigeria gained independence in 1960\, but its young democracy has since suffered from corrosive leaders rigging elections and abusing public power for personal gain. “The titles and themes of my paintings are indicators\, advocates of other\, better ways of living and being\,” he offers\, prodding us to see\, to learn\, to research\, to question. His message\, like the meaning of his name Chukwudinma (God is good)\, is universal. \nA University of Nigeria\, Nsukka art department graduate with mentors who are luminaries of the iconic Uli practice and the early Igbo modernists\, Chukwudinma landed in Lagos. There he distinguished himself as a leading contemporary painter showing in New York and Abidjan galleries\, at ArtX Lagos\, the New York Art Fair\, the Dak’ Art Biennale\, Senegal. We are proud to host Chukwudinma’s first solo exhibition in the United States. \nJoin us for an artist talk on Thursday\, March 13th\, from 6:00pm to 7:30pm. The event is free and open to the public. Stop by to meet Chukwudinma and enjoy a libation. Doors open at 6:00pm\, and the talk begins at 6:30pm. The event ends at 7:30pm.
