Pleasant Thursday evening with a last minute visit to the Art Institute. I love being reminded of these hidden gems within the city. Opportunities like this should be taken advantage of more often. For the record, this little lady is spending some time with a Rothko.

opens tonight, Feb 19, 6-8p: “«suddenly I felt the river in me»”  Carolina Raquel Antich Lynch Tham Gallery, 175 Rivington St., NYC featuring porcelain artworks and a series of canvases, the exhibition is a purview of Antich’s longtime fascination with childhood. Antich recently embraced a sculptural extension of her paintings, magnifying the delicateness and fragility of her subjects and the situations they are involved in. While the artist’s paintings often evoke an allegorical worldview, depicting children in a territory where there is no fear, a free zone full of nuances and beauty, the sculptural work brings to the fore spaces of protection and refuge, while underscoring the autistic condition of her subjects in their extreme mode of concentration.
