Art galleries and shows of note: June 2011

I have been meaning to try and keep my blog, Lawrence Letters, updated.  So, I plan to start with a few of observations of interesting shows and galleries. 

Denise Bibro has a really interesting show of work by Don Kimes, running until July 9th.  They are works on paper and on canvas based on pictures of work in his studio that was damaged from a flood.  He has mounted the photos and retouched them with Photoshop and painted over some areas.  The works are very colorful and organic abstractions, and they all appear to be painstakingly renderedThe show is a great example of what can be done combining traditional painting and Photoshop manipulation.  . 

Also worthy of mention is the Pavel Zoubok Gallery, a favorite of mine on West 23rd Street.  The gallery specializes in collage work and seems to also be interested in showing work influenced by Outsider Art, also one of my interests.
