Ling Jian, Suspension in Melancholy
In New York figurative painting is definitely not popular among the art cognoscenti. In China judging by the incidence of portraits at the recent Armory Show during Asian Art week here in New York City there were a suprising number of figurative portrayals. Most of them quite striking.

The Video
Every once in a while I have to post something different and entirely off topic. So you can call this a video test but it is a scene from the opening of Dangerous Beauty curated by Servet Kocyigit at the Chelsea Art Museum here in New York on Thursday night.

Some of the most arresting portraits I saw were in Krylon on walls in the Miami Design District. They led me to track down more work by the 27 year old Argentine Artist Santiago Rubino. His striking portraits in charcoal and pen of cool, dark haired almost anime inspired females are the result of downsizing so they would fit on paper. Wall sized and graffitti-ed on the side of a building in the Design District these portraits struck a note of almost cognitive dissonance in the Miami streetscape. Though I liked the building sized ones the best and may someday commission one on a wall they come as I later found out in smaller sizes in pen and charcoal. The seem to have caught other eyes since most were sold out by the time I made it to the the Spinello Gallery booth at Scope. Priced between $800-$1200.
