Sexypink - Che Lovelace - The New York Times review

[sexypinkon]

Sexypink - I just read about this Artist in the New York Times! I asked myself how can I introduce him when I want to shower him with praises. What better way than to just say it.

Sexypink often experiences moments where an Artist delivers an exclamation mark when seeing their work. It causes pause and deep excitement and everything they do and say is combed over and experienced. Pepon Osorio has done just that.

Sexypink - Che Lovelace - Trinidad and Tobago

& from his Facebook page...Very very excited! My first full scale New York gallery exhibition opens one week from now on Thursday 9th March at the Nicola Vassell Gallery in Chelsea.

The exhibition brings together paintings, some of which I’ve been working on for several years, all focused around the body and water.

Our relationship with water…the sea, rivers etc. here in the Caribbean is a complex one, and I have tried to translate through my own experiences what that relationship feels and looks like.

Folks in the New York area do come by and say hi at the opening (6-8pm) or check out the show when you have time…it runs until April 15th

Frida Kahlo in Brooklyn for February 2019

Clothes were more than just clothes to Frida Kahlo (1907-1954), the Mexican tyro of Surrealist self-portraiture. This should be underscored by “Frida Kahlo: Appearances Can Be Deceiving,” an exhibition — based on one by the Victoria and Albert Museum in London — which opens Feb. 8 at the Brooklyn Museum. Combining beautifully embroidered blouses and colorful peasant skirts with outsize jewelry both ancient and contemporary, Kahlo’s ensembles were in today’s jargon assiduously “curated.” They celebrated Mexico’s indigenous cultures; imbued her frail, damaged body with a powerful aura; and displayed an early grasp of the fluidity of gender and identity. The totality amounted to a continual homage to a defiant multifaceted Otherness that was central to her finely detailed paintings and captured in staged photographs. The exhibition will also include examples from Brooklyn’s holdings of Meso-American objects like those collected by Kahlo and her husband, Diego Rivera. Expect her intense presence and unparalleled sensibility to achieve liftoff. ROBERTA SMITH
