The purpose of this project is to increase awareness of issues of immigration, censorship in the arts and radical socio-political movements spurred by repressive governmental institutions on example of former USSR. All participants will have outstanding knowledge or personal experience with Communist Russia of 20th century and seeking refuge for creative and expressive purposes in the United States. The focus of these programs will be on the struggle of expression amidst the repressive confines of the USSR.
 
This program was made possible by a grant from the New Jersey Council for the Humanities, a state partner of the National Endowment for the Humanities. Any views, findings, conclusions or recommendations in this program do not necessarily represent those of the National Endowment for the Humanities or the New Jersey Council for the Humanities.

Speakeasy Art Gallery presents: Anthony "Weird Eye" One : Something Wild

Speakeasy Art Gallery presents:
Anthony "Weird Eye" One : Something Wild


March 7 - 30
Please join us for the opening reception: Friday, March 7, 6-9pm

Anthony "Weird Eye" One (DeBenedictis) is a painter, a muralist and a street artist, working out ofAtlantic Highlands, New Jersey and originally from Newark. Anthony has become known over the years for painting large box-shaped characters on walls, inside abandoned buildings and pretty much everywhere he was able to. Also, for many years, he has been putting up homemade tiny wood panels with creepy & funny faces drawn on them, usually brightly painted. They can be found almost anywhere on the East Coast, high up on buildings, on signs, even stuck to trees deep in the woods near a trail, and sometimes on trucks and trains. One of Anthony's favorite creative outlets is being outside painting murals, both commissions and at his own "secret" walls, and usually from April until the end of November, he splits his time between painting murals & working in his studio.
For many years, Anthony's fine art has focused on abstract patterns & illustration, usually around the characters he painted on walls. So about a year ago, he decided it was time for a change, and slowly shifted away from those box-shaped characters and focused more on "real" objects like animals and a mix of pop-culture, in addition to patterns which have become more intricate and organic. Additionally, his illustration style has become more detailed and a bit rugged much like the jaggedness of tree branches. His murals are also more focused on organic "flowing" patterns and textures as well. Backgrounds & negative space in his art are similar to what you may see in Jackson Pollock paintings, except Anthony splatters the paint in a way to show "movement and motion". Most of Anthony's fine art is painted & illustrated on both paper and his own homemade wood panels, and he uses a mix of spray paint, acrylics, gouache and homemade inks that he makes in his studio.
Anthony weird*eye*one's new body of work, "Something Wild" focuses on all things beautiful & scary that you may find in the outside world, where he spends most of his time, both hanging out and painting.

Press Release
Image Sheet
Spectrum of Light marks Austrian painter Robert Schaberl’s first show in London, and features a selection of new works. At the centre of the artist’s practice is an alchemical investigation of colour and the way in which it behaves. He pushes the boundaries of our knowledge about the properties of colour and its interaction with light, and, ultimately, the viewer. Without light there is no colour, yet here, Schaberl reminds us of the importance of the viewer and their perspective. The sophistication and complexity of the work suggests that the viewer plays an integral role in its interpretation. Schaberl’s interest in colour – and its subsequent interplay with light – stems from a long-term fascination with movement. Schaberl works with Iriodin – an industrial pearl lustre pigment used in everything from car manufacturing to the cosmetics industry. By combining it with paint pigments, he creates a subtle yet infinite spectrum of colour, allowing the viewer a variety of perspectives. In doing so, he seeks to create a moment in time between the artwork and the viewer, a connection during which the painting reveals itself within a spectrum of dancing, refracting light.

Press Release
Image Sheet
In Black Moon, we see Sahmarani’s renewed focus on the medium of oil paint itself. The landscapes of Spain are brought into dialogue with the political climate of Lebanon through canvas and oil paint. What also unites these two bodies of work is an expressive and two-fold exploration of violence: the violence of nature and its man-made counterpart. The canvases on oil depict freer forms and use thick impasto amassing textures, which reveal abstract images and patterns through the application of heavier brush strokes and bolder and more integrated colours.

Marking the first show in the gallery’s new Project Space, Behind the Dunes draws its inspiration from a 10-year project on which artist Lisa Ross worked in and around the Taklamakan Desert of China’s far northwest. Here Ross reveals a little known religious tradition in Xinjiang China with its desert shrines to Sufi saints and Muslim pilgrimage sites. Copies of her new book, Living Shrines of Uyghur China, are also available at the gallery.

REGINA SAURA: Through The Forest
March 6 - 31, 2014
Opening reception:
Saturday, March 8, 5:00-7:00 PM

February 19, 2014 – Campton Gallery is pleased to present Through The Foresta large-scale installation of 15 mixed-media paintings by Regina Saura, stretched to form a single 85-foot canvas mural. The immersive tableau was custom designed by Saura to fit the Soho gallery space. The landscape installation also includes lettering and flourishes painted directly on the walls.  

Through The Forest has been in progress for more than a year, which the artist began in her countryside studio in Catalonia, surrounded by the Mediterranean coastal grove that served as inspiration. Saura executes natural colors and forms that are both exuberant and subtle, juxtaposing muted earth tones with bold brushstrokes. Her sophisticated composition and balance of shape and line are the true hallmark of a master landscape painter who has come into her own. Using oil paint, scraping, silkscreen, lithography and collage, the artist presents a mural of staggering proportion that begs repeated viewings.

Regina Saura (b.1955, Barcelona) is a mixed-media artist who has been exhibiting internationally since 1984. Her interpretive landscape and still-life works are shown in solo gallery exhibitions throughout Europe, US and Japan. She receives numerous public commissions, including a permanent mural in L’Illa Diagonal in Barcelona.
