It's not too late to see the paintings of Kate Bright at Locks Gallery just on Washington Square.

The hanging of the show at Locks is perfect. Setting up a quiet mezzmerizing environment to view these incredibly intimate and transporting paintings. No humans or objects invade the space of the ripples and relection of these bodies of water. 

These paintings are not imitations of water. They are movies in your mind caught in a loop one feels they can remain in forever.

This exhibition is drawing to a close but you should make every effort to see it. The paintings by Philadelphian Charles Burwell are worth the effort.

We loved this show. Precise and carefully considered as always. Yes. Everything is a Series of Adjustments

ARTIST TALK 
Saturday, September 7. 2013

Justin makes paintings, drawings, and interactive sculptures that allow him to explore themes of play, wonder, and the sublime. The work speaks of adventure and adapting to the unexpected.

Justin’s work is made from the materials that he comes upon or seeks out. He tinkers and explores. The results are blatantly homemade, producing an awkward situation.

I use what I use to do what I do to get done what I need to get done.
