Liquid Sunshine: Lotus
Ellen Miller Gallery (Boston) now represents the work of  Niho Kazuru’s unusual works. Kazuru, originally from Japan and now living in  Boston, works with odd materials. The most recent sculptures, including the one pictured here, focus on architectural, botanic and industria form—often using cast rubber.

Her work is, from what I have seen, captivating and truly unique.

Kozura was born in Fukuoka, Japan and graduated from Parsons. Art is also in her family as she is descended from generations of ceramists.  Her work has been shown in the USA and Japan in galleries and museums.

Timothy Yarger Fine Arts, in Beverly Hills, is representing three new artists; Carole Feuerman, Yossi Govrin, and Udo Noger.

Feuerman is a hyperrealist sculptor who has been working for over 40 years. Her work ranges from resin to marble and bronze and is in numerous museum and private collections worldwide. Her work recently was singled out by the curators of Los Angeles I’M Yours as “Best of L.A. Art Show” earlier this year.

Govrin works in multiple media from cement, hemp to antique chandelier sculptures. The work crosses cultural and nationa boundaries. His work was particularly appealing to the shutterbugs at Art Miami this pas year.

Noger is an abstract artist from Germany who has had solo shows at Art Basel and SCOPE Miami. New work by Noger, including charcoal drawings, recently arrived at TYFA.

Zar-X, 2011, oil, metal, powder, textile, paper on wood
_ Galerie Peter Kilchmann this week announced a “collaboration” with German artist, Armin Boehm. I assume this means they are representing him. Boehm studied at the National Art Academy in Düsseldorf. In school he worked with both Konrad Klapheck and Jörg Immendorf.

Looking at the painting Zar-X, 2011 here. It illustrates how Boehm’s work incorporates Expressionism, French Existentialism,  the philosophy of Martin Heidegger and Heisenberg’s quantum physics and questions about the human constitution in our technologically driven world.

His work may be landscape, cityscape or interiors but there is always an exploration of those areas on the edge of our perception; a sideways glance at something that exists between enlightenment and our daily consciousness.

Civilian Art Projects has a new artist on board, Dan Tague. Civilian and Tague have worked together on exhibitions in New Orleand and in Minneapolis in the past and Tague’s solo exhibition at Civilian, The Kids Are Alright, in June was very well received. So why not make it official and just represent the man?

Tague is working on his poject for Prospect 2, at the Contemporary Art Center in New Orleans. He is one of a large group of important artists whose work will be at this show.  Prospect 2 will be exhibited from October 22 to January 29, 2012.
