Charlie James Gallery (Los Angeles) Showed Work By Ramiro Gomez And Guy Richards Smit At Pulse Miami 2015

Charlie James Gallery (Los Angeles) showed work by Ramiro Gomez and Guy Richards Smit at Pulse Miami 2015.

In an earlier incarnation Gomez' work showed more realistic scenes of Californians (the homes of the rich from the eyes of the folks who work for them). At one point the artist worked as a live-in nanny. These works, although more abstract in their construction, seem to pursue the same theme--a worthy one.

Smit is known  as a painter, performer and creator of video installations. His work references all sorts of popular media--but I, for one, would never call it pop art.  There are references to stand-up comedy, comics, music and the front pages of newspapers (soon to be a historical curiosity).

Wagner + Partner (Berlin) showed work by Stefan Kürten at Pulse Miami 2015.

This piece is acrylic and ink on paper. His work often features houses which are more full of symbolism as the line between "security and abandonment." Look closely at this pice and you see the sprawling building in the midst of the tropical environment.

Purdy Hicks Gallery (London) Showed Work By Ralph Fleck And Susan Derges At Pulse Miami 2015

PictureGenova 1.XII and 6.XII
Purdy Hicks Gallery (London) showed work by Ralph Fleck and Susan Derges at Pulse Miami 2015.

Fleck, a German painter, paints crowd scenes, cityscapes as well as single color pieces depicting the Alps. His pieces are impressions, not representations of actual cities or mountains (or presumably, piles of books). For some reason these buildings remind me of the cakes of Wayne Thiebaud.

Derges' work often captures nature or science in the form of a print. She pioneered exposing photographs by placing them in the running water of a river (etc). Her pieces, like the C-print below, often seem to move.

Bannerjee, born in India, lives and works in New York. The multitude of media in the sculpture, Hanuman's flight is evolution's climb, include Victorian-era doll's eyes, gold thread and iron wire (among other odds and ends). 

The second piece, entitled
The durability of her beauty, polished fingers, her private and delicate proportions made all the city to know that she was a wonder that only nature was able to ponder, is acrylic and ink on paper.

Joseph Stashkevetch's work was shown by Von Lintel Gallery (Los Angeles) at Pulse Miami 2015.

Stashkevetch is a New Jersey-born artist who lives and works in New York City. These pieces are conte crayon on rag paper. They are based on photographs but the photos are guides rather than something the artist directly incorporates. These entrancing three dimensional pieces use shades of grey to create movement and depth (beyond the physical).

Kopeikin Gallery (Los Angeles) showed work by Amy Ross at Pulse Miami 2015.

Ross holds a Master of Theological studies from  Harvard Divinity School and also attended the School of the Museum of Fine Arts (Boston). Her minimalist watercolors use a great deal of white space which makes the detail in her work something you, as a viewer, have to step into. These pieces require close examination.

Robert Koch Gallery (San Francisco) Presents "Notes For An Epilogue" By Tamas Dezso February 4 To April 30, 2016

Robert Koch Gallery (49 Geary St., San Francisco) Presents  Notes For An Epilogue  by Tamas Dezso February 4 to April 30, 2016. There will be a reception and book signing from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Thursday, February 4.

The show is in conjunction with a book of the same title. These large scale photographs by the Hungarian photographer
started in 2011. The work tries to capture the isolation, disillusion mixed with patience and hope in Romania's abandoned remote areas. The photographs are a somber look at pastoral landscapes and a forgotten way of life. The villages here have become dying symbols of the communist regime.
