Winston Chmielinski is a busy boy. Handsome, exotic, uninhibited and talented--it seems like he’s got all it takes to become the art world’s Next Big Thing. Add to it his impeccable style and impressive social skills, and it’s no wonder that this 23-year-old is getting so much play...
Toronto artist Niall McClelland presents paintings and paper pieces at Eleanor Harwood that seek parity between process and content. That ambition has roots that reach back half a century to the early work of people such as Barry Le Va and Richard Serra. It has resurfaced elsewhere very differently in the firecracker spectacles of Cai Guo-Qiang and the wall drawings of Richard Long.
The reclusive artist Alex Rose reveals the beauty of decay in his second solo exhibition with Envoy Enterprise. Found imagery is given new intent through the artist's process of burial and destruction. Rose often takes apart existing works and turns them into new artworks creating an endless cycle of death and rebirth within his practice. Within the gallery, the small scale works placed on the floor and walls reveal the ritual behind imagery and immediately reminds of artist Jeremy Everett who also works with the idea of loss and ruin. Mono No Aware is on view through May 13th 2012 at Envoy Enterprises, 131 Chrystie Street, New York. Photo and text Juliana Balestin
The words ‘eerie’ and ‘scary’ aren’t really how you want to be described by your friends — unless you’re an artist, of course. Or, should that be, unless you’re David Flinn. The New York artist experiments with sculpture, installation and organic elements, all of which is embodied in his latest work, The King is Dead.

Apocalyptic Shift is inspired by Mary Mattingly's Flock House project, a microsphere of orbiting habitats that move around massive urban architecture. This night reimagines urban geographies and repurposes the Happening. Apocalyptic Shift turns Eyebeam into an immersive environment and creates new visions for a post-industrial landscape.

The painfully elusive and private artist, Alex Rose, has his second show (ever) at Envoy Enterprises. Do not miss a rare chance to see haunting work so personal that it will most likely be burned immediately after de-installation, and re-purposed into new pieces. Do not expect to see the artist at the opening though.
