Banks Violette and Jessica Stockholder

James Kalm brings viewers along as he peddles through a Thursday night double bill. Banks Violette is one of New Yorks most provocative young artists. Deriving much of his imagery from the banality of Heavy Metal cliché, the main piece for Not Yet Titled at Team Gallery is Zodiac a ghostly recreation in cast salt of the motorcycle his friend Steve Parrino drove to his death.
Across town in Chelsea we slip in to see Jessica Stockholders Sail Cloth Tears at Mitchell-Innes & Nash. Stockholder constructs gerrymandered tableaus of brightly colored everyday objects combined with strokes of rich pigment to bring the language of painting into a three dimensional space. The works reflect not only an artistic sensibility but a knowing appreciation for the industrial cheerfulness of consumer products.

unfortunately the vid doesn't do this work justice. really a stunning show. one of the best of the year so far. JS is one of the most fascinating artists working today, though i wouldn't characterize her color sense as "cheery" myself. extraordinary

color combo's and restrained/ freaked-out use of everyday materials. i would add 'installation art' to her job description. loved it!

Thanks for the look at both shows which I regretfully missed.

I love Jessica Stockholder's work and think she is one of the most influential artists working today. Her first show years ago took formalist painting ideas literally off the wall, using everyday materials. I was stunned by it then and still am fascinated.

Mix Tinguely and Rauschenberg, shake well, add a zest of pop colors...
