Oil Painting
categories: artist: bp | dimensions: variable | medium: oil on water | title: deepwater horizon | year: 2010
Across the accident zone, oil floated in the ocean in different hues, shapes and textures. In places, it was a rich paisley patterned reds and oranges. In others, it took on varying gray and blue striated shapes, almost like a Vincent Van Gogh's thick brush strokes.

Oil Spill Reaches Mississippi Delta, Threatens Gulf Coast, Possibly Atlantic Waters and Beyond...
April 29, 2010. This image provided by the U.S. Coast Guard shows oil leaking from the drill pipe of the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig after it sank. A confidential government report on the unfolding spill disaster makes clear the Coast Guard now fears the well could be on the verge of becoming an unchecked gusher shooting millions of gallons of oil per day into the Gulf.
It's a Psychedelic Guernica Kind of Day

April 29, 2010. Paddy Johnson posted this on ArtFagCity last Saturday. It was originally seen on the Today and Tomorrow site back in February 2009. So consider it a re-re-post for a sunny and very windy day, without the LSD.
My gut feeling: had Tony Shafrazi encountered this sort of "movement" in 1974 at MoMA, he would have dropped his spray can in dismay.

James Kalm brings revelers along for the celebration of English Kills three year anniversary. Having been witness to much of this energetic milieu's production since its inception and, taking into consideration the current recession, this milestone is admirable and Kalm congratulates them. As one of the earliest and most ambitious galleries in the MoJo neighborhood (between the Morgan and Jefferson Streets stops on the L line in Brooklyn), English Kills has exhibited work by: Andrew Ohanesian & Tescia Seufferlein, Don Pablo Pedro, Peter Dobill, Lenny Reibstein, Brent Owens, Andrew Hurst, Andy Piedilato, Steve Harding, Holly Faurot & Sarah H. Paulson and others.

"The Avant Garde Doesn't Give Up" - Asger Jorn
Dan Asher 12/31/1947 - 04/23/2010
^ Dan Asher singing Karen Dalton's "Every Time I Think of Freedom" ^
News of Dan Asher's passing on Friday, April 23, has been slowly spreading through the downtown NY art world. He was an original, unique presence, an artist of rare expressive power with an uncompromising anarchic temperament. We will all miss him.
Asher was seriously ill with lymphoma/leukemia, a condition which had gravely worsened in recent weeks. He was receiving extensive medication and had been admitted to the hospital for chemotherapy and other procedures. A stem cell replacement was being considered.
In order to help raise money for this health care, the Gavin Brown gallery organized and hosted a benefit sale of Asher's mid-70s photographs of Bob Marley, which was announced in a previous posting on this site.
