Gallery Mondays: ‘Unbranded: A Century of White Women, 1915-2015’
I just got back to New York after a week of vacation, and I’m going to be really honest: I wish I’d stayed longer. I love NYC and all, but the city stresses are already creeping back onto me. However, looking at this piece from Hank Willis Thomas’ Unbranded: A Century of White Women reminds me…

Gallery Mondays: Woodrow White’s ‘Dip’
Happy Memorial Day! Lots of beaches and pools are opening today (and if not, they will be soon), marking the first unofficial day of summer. Because of this, I’ve decided to feature Woodrow White’s painting Dip, which I saw back in 2014 at the Joshua Liner Gallery Your Favorite Artists Favorite Artist exhibit in NYC. That vibrant green…

Gallery Mondays: Linda Ganjian’s ‘Home Sweet Home’
I didn’t get to see the station art at 111 Street on the A train line until last month. I had honestly forgotten that the station got renovated in general, so it was nice walking onto the platform and seeing Linda Ganjian’s Home Sweet Home stainless steel cut outs on the panels. What I really love…

Gallery Mondays: Roberto Fabelo’s ‘Éxtasis de la Carne Huidiza’
I don’t have allergies, but a lot of people I live and work around do, so some mornings I wake up feeling like this woman in Roberto Fabelo’s ‘Éxtasis de la Carne Huidiza’—minus the pigs on her face. No swine flu is catching this chick a week before her birthday. I saw this painting in…

Gallery Mondays: ‘Olsen Twins Hiding From the Paparazzi’
On Friday I went to check out the Olsen Twins Hiding from the Paparazzi exhibit by THNK1994. It was awesome. So awesome I wished I had gone to the opening night. The paintings were done by Laura Collins, who can’t tell the Olsen twins apart, especially when they’re covering their faces from the paparazzi, so none…

Gallery Mondays: URBANIMAL Graffiti on B.K. Express Truck
A few months ago I spotted this B.K. Express Truck sitting in the parked lane on 8th Avenue in Midtown with URBANIMAL graffiti all over it. The truck has a Michigan address on it, which is enough to pique my curiosity. The URBANIMAL graffiti was just an added bonus. The first thing I noticed were…

Gallery Mondays: #CreekLove
It’s finally back to feeling like spring again, and Earth Day is coming up, so I’ve decided to feature this artwork I found while visiting Austin, Texas in March. The piece was created by Lucas Aoki as part of SPRATX‘s #CreekLove Storm Drain Project to promote keeping the creeks and lakes of Austin free from pollution.…

Gallery Mondays: Monopoly
Tax Day is coming, so I thought I’d make it a bit less stressful with some street art I found at a gas station near the corner of Horatio St. and 8th Avenue in NYC. The art seems to be a joint collaboration by popular graffiti artists Alec Monopoly and King Saladeen. As you probably…

Gallery Mondays: Rainy Day
On my trip to Austin in March, I stayed at an Airbnb that had two very nice paintings on the wall. This scene of two women holding umbrellas as they walk toward the Eiffel Tower was one of them. Today was another rainy day in New York. Upstate even got some snow. So much for…
