The canvases of Francesco Clemente take on three dimensional space with a new body of work at Mary Boone Gallery. Nostalgia/Utopia immediately reminds of the gallery's recent exhibition of David Salle with large format paintings intersected with unexpected objects. Clemente's references are varied and intentionally vague which allows viewers to freely interpret the imagery, objects and narrative. On view through June 30th 2012 at Mary Boone Gallery, 541 West 24th Street, New York. Photo and text Juliana Balestin
The conceptual concrete sculptures of artist Anish Kapoor function as exercises in form and the power of materials. The free-standing works intend to blur the boundaries between contemporary art and relics. They also represent the play between an artist's intention and the reaction of the materials. Kapoor does not resist the concrete's drive toward organic forms but rather allows it to function within his creation. On view through June 9th at Gladstone Gallery, 515 West 24th Street, New York.
