She wasn't on the list of Galleries to visit, probably because her show wasn't that big, but she had a lot of good work up. There was a great attention to detail in all the patterns she painted. It seemed to monotonous, but everything laying flat on each other as if it were an image done on a computer was sweet. The best part was the attention to detail that made you remember that these were paintings, and not design work done. I really enjoyed this show. Gave me some nice inspiration on where I want to go with how I paint some of my figures.
Enoc Perez
Talk about impressionist, this guy did it with a brayer from what I can tell. The size of these were awesome, although I think some of them were crooked. What I saw from my photos they seemed to be. The work seemed very mathematical in terms of how you can tell what was taped off in order for some of the ink or paint from running on it. That's not to say that the work was predictable, but that it was more thought out like a print than a painting. In terms of instruments, I'm pretty sure that they were all used with a printer's tools, but with a painter's eye.
Juergen Teller
Enjoyed the show a lot. I was really excited for it. I'm amazed and still wondering how he was able to get some private shooting time in the Louvre, as well as being able to use a flash in some of the photos. So what if the pictures were grainy, they were very large and still sharp. I like how he made some of the paintings his with how he took photos of them. I thought that was a good statement on art. But seeing how it is Juergen Teller, and seeing some of his work in his ads with Marc Jacobs or his other photography, I wish he would have tried to push the envelope more with his time in the time machine.
