Your dulcet tones wash over me, And I imagine you’re here beside me: Dark hair, Small mole, Piercing eyes. I’m allergic to Writing about you, My body rejecting The thought of you, But I persist Your voice comes through The scratches and skips. My nose runs Over you, and I think to myself, […]
Read more "Fever"The night weighs heavy like A down comforter on perfectly Erect shoulders With nipples exposed But clit confined because R ratings only go so Far When I touch the cotton It feels like I’m touching Myself, and the Crackle of the Vinyl expounds behind me While I wait for Awakening. The silence weighs […]
Read more "Performed"This month, as soon as you walked through those iconic glass doors of dk Gallery, you would stop in your tracks. Immediately upon entering are 49 faces and countless eyes (as some portraits have third and even fourth and fifth eyes) staring back at you. This installation is titled, “It Could Be You,” and it’s […]
Read more "“It Could Be You,” and 49 Reasons to Watch Out for Erin Henry"Let’s talk about youth. Or should I say THE youth. This month’s gallery show is #POPstart, a collection of young guest artists who are already producing phenomenal work. From portraiture, to street art, to traditional landscapes, to nudes on paper, these artists are producing the caliber of work normally seen on the White Walls — […]
Read more "#POPstart: Youth in Revolt, Youth to Remember"Connie Karleta Sales’s paintings are heavily influenced by her poetry and vice versa. In fact, I have yet to figure out which comes first: the words or the images. They are so seamlessly tied together in her mind and work — in her expression — that I’ve stopped questioning. The piece featured for this interview […]
Read more "Interview with Connie Karleta Sales"Following learning her life’s story, I interviewed Barbara Nerenz-Kelley about a piece that currently hangs in the gallery for this month’s paper show. “Forget Time and Just Be” consists of a graphite collage and coffee powder on paper and measures in at 9 x 12 inches. I chose this piece because I was struck by […]
Read more "Interview with Barbara Nerenz-Kelley"This month’s gallery opening features all works on paper, and almost all of the artists we represent participated. It is the most artwork we’ve ever featured in a single show, the pieces crowded together on the walls, creating a riot of color and form. The Susan Easton Burns’ wall found at the back of the […]
Read more "Pin Up"“Untitled” is a 10″ x 8″ mixed media on paper piece by artist Erin Henry. Henry is young — the youngest artist, I believe, represented here at dk Gallery. However, this youth is only an advantage. Henry taps into a dark sophistication with deep roots in postmodernism. Take, for example, this accidental self portrait. Both mystical and […]
Read more "Untitled"Alberto Mier’s paper work will be featured in this coming month’s exclusively paper show, but this week, I decided to take advantage of this new blog to get some more information on a piece in my personal collection, “Through White Orchids” by Alberto Mier, a 16″ x 16″ piece of mixed media on canvas. Of […]
Read more "Through White Orchids"It’s easy to see why Susan Easton Burns is one of the most popular artists represented by dk Gallery. Her work is dynamic: a combination of earth and electricity, her work taps into an intimacy with nature and the world at large. While most of her subjects are animals such as foxes, moose and her […]
