LYNCH THAM

Music is playing here! On top of Art Miami New York, don’t forget to visit us today for the LES walk!

LYNCH THAM is pleased to announce our participation in the LES walk next Sunday, May 17, 12-6 pm. See you there!

In this multi-media exhibition including an audio work, Ferraris presents an inter-disciplinary approach to creating a world that consists of metaphorical symbols of events, fantasies, words and bodies. Sculptures and photographs oscillate between reality and fantasy, making constant shifts in narrative structure to confuse thematic intent. Ferraris' audio work and videos explore the relationship of visual art as it relates to music and its roots in Hip Hop culture. The exhibition extends outdoors with an installation viewable only during closing hours. LYNCH THAM acknowledges the Italian Cultural Institute for their support of the exhibition.

Thank you to everyone who came out last night to attend the Quisqueya Henríquez, Double Double, Framed & Framed Opening Reception at LYNCH THAM Gallery

WANG Jingyu, born in Shanxi, China in 1982, is an emerging Beijing-based visual artist that takes a sociopolitical approach to her work, and layers it with concepts of isolation, introspection, and childhood nostalgia. In particular, Wang’s art works focuses on the rapid economic and technological growth, rigorous educational standards, and depicts social changes in China using themes of sexuality. In Dancing, she portrays a hand, silhouetted against various shades of black, mimicking female masturbation gestures.

Ferraris has exhibited nationally and internationally, in solo and group exhibitions.  He won the Premio Saatchi & Saatchi for young artists in 1989 and the Fellowship for Photography from the New York Foundation for the Arts in 2004. 

Luisa Caldwell (b. 1965) is a Brooklyn based visual artist that is most known for her playful use of fruit stickers as the principal medium in her artworks. Caldwell has worked on public installations such as We Are Not From Here, and facades of public buildings. She recontextualizes produce stickers, and recodifies them by creating a mosaic sticker-type modern pointillism. Caldwell uses mixed media, a combination of painting and stickering in her art works generating a revisioning of overlooked products.  Moreover, Caldwell’s most recent work, G and D, is a minimalistic, yet complex detailed rendering of Gloria Steinem and Dorothy Pitman Hughes powerful enigmatic photograph by Dan Wynn. This is Caldwell’s most recent poignant political work. Caldwell is exhibited nationally and internationally.

Wong deliberately challenged viewers by portraying dispossessed people due to race, class, and sexual orientation, in an urban background. He demonstrated his knowledge of art history by incorporating specific genres with contemporary issues and subject matter. Wong returned to San Francisco, and painted Chinatown and the Chinese-American experience of the past. He was diagnosed with AIDS and passed away in 1999 in San Francisco. 

Final week to view! Guglielmo Achille Cavellini's "Centennial Exhibition" at LYNCH THAM has been 100 years in the making. Don't miss out on seeing these historical carbon works.  At 175 Rivington Street, now through Sunday.

Walter Robinson featured in ARTnews ...One particular pleasure was seeing a nice big wall of work by Walter Robinson, the painter-turned-art critic-turned-painter at the booth of New York’s LYNCH THAM gallery. Robinson, as you may know, came of age with the Pictures Generation gang, painting romantic scenes from pulp covers and movie posters, well before Richard Prince got into that game. (He also did spin paintings well before Damien Hirst.) Recently, he’s been painting photographs from clothing catalogs and porn sites—lots of women!—and also the odd cheeseburger or beer. Handsome stuff... http://www.artnews.com/2014/12/08/at-pulse-miami-beach-walter-robinson-offers-up-clothing-catalogs-porn/

Carlo Ferraris featured in VICE - The Creator's Project “PULSE Play has been an incredible opportunity to introduce the contemporary art collectors at PULSE to leading artists working in video, net art, and immersive 3D environment,” Howard told The Creators Project. “It's a hub inside the tent where visitors are encouraged to lounge on couches, relax, and take in the works – which are also for sale,” she said. “PULSE-Play, which featured works by Tilo Baumgaertel, Alexandra Gorczynski, Carlo Ferraris, Tracey Snelling, and Idan Levin, made news this week because Zhulong Gallery successfully sold an art website by Gorczynski for $5,000. "The event is exclusively focused on contemporary art, and so it's been thrilling to see them embrace digital as one of the  most contemporary forms of art… http://thecreatorsproject.vice.com/blog/from-virtual-wallpapers-to-emoji-gardens-digital-art-at-miami-art-week
