James Kalm brings viewers the debut opening of the much anticipated Marlborough Gallery Tower in Chelsea with "Thirteen Monsters for Lightning Bolt" a selection of recent works by Steven Charles. Charles, a young painter who has distinguished himself through an obsessive technique of dripping pouring and tracing organic and painterly forms represents a tendency that characterizes advanced abstract painting coming from neighborhoods like Williamsburg Brooklyn. Featuring an interview with Steven Charles, cameo appearances by Michael Anderson and Harvey Sweeken

  • That guy at the begining, Michael Anderson, is TOTALLY my favorite artist. I just looked him up on artnet. Look how cool his hat is! And his collages! That guy can juxtapose anything! He puts a picture of like Snoop Dog with, like a picture of the Virgin Mary, and its like, whoa, I never thought of it like that! Or like, a picture of The Beastie Boys with a picture of the Ramones... I LOVE the Beastie Boys! AWESOME! Steven's work is OK too, but it doesn't have any Beastie Boys references.

  • If you dig this then you'll love his "Sex Drugs and Violence" show at Canal Chapter. Don't miss the interview, very provocative, JK

  • Wonderful textures, colors and use of materials. James, I didn't quite catch what you said at about 1:40... the medium used for the small painting "enamel and [something] paste on canvas? Great show!

  • Modeling paste (acrylic medium with calcium carbonate), thanks JK

  • Check out the band Lightning Bolt, I think it puts this art in a much cooler context. "13 Monsters" is a cool song too.

  • As I get older, I am learning to accept myself for who I really am, and who I really am is THE WORLDS BIGGEST MICHAEL ANDERSON FAN! From now on, I'm not looking at art unless it is Michael Anderson's. Just when I thought I had had enough of the anti-intellectual atmosphere in this market driven art world, along comes MICHAEL ANDERSON, the worlds smartest (and best dressed) artist. I wonder if he's heard th new Jamiroquai album.

  • @Craigisatwat Dude. What the fuck is wrong with you? Did you not even notice SMOKING HOT his girlfriend is? I bet she would look SO damn cute with his hat on! Michael looks so tall and white next to her. The dude didn't even bother to shave and he still manages to look like some sort of God.

  • Steven CHarles is my HERO
