Angelina Gualdoni: This Brooklyn-based painter focuses on modern ruins, giving an uneasy grace to housing projects, neglected parking garages, and decaying corporate high-rises. Angelina’s clearly on-the-rise: She’s part of an upcoming group show at Chelsea’s prestigious Mixed greens Gallery.

My paintings are a carefully observed negotiation, manipulated layer upon layer in order to create a work of art as equivalent as possible to the complexity of real life.They are an attempt to control the almost uncontrollable substance that is oil paint, and the equally untamable expression of the human condition.

ART101 presents artist William Downey. His paintings in “West Of The Mississippi, American Landscapes,” capture the impact of an overwhelming and ever-changing sky, rocks and buttes whose shape and color shift with every change of light and shadow, endless plains and prairies, and a seemingly unreachable horizon.

Ed Brodkin, takes great pleasure in using a variety of materials: acrylics enamels, glazes, varnishes, collages, printed or woven fabrics on varied grounds including canvas, burlap, fiberboard and pressed wood, sometimes combined. Occasionally non-rectangular shapes are used possibly even perforated. All the above allow him the pleasure of always experimenting, never becoming formulaic and never settling on a “signature” style.
