Anthony Pearson at Marianne Boesky Gallery




Anthony Pearson’s organic and geometric forms, hand-scored in flat layers of tinted hydrocal, alternate between all-white and black compositions and lead the eye through a series of experiments in light and shape. (At Marianne Boesky Gallery in Chelsea through January 16th).

Josh Tonsfeldt at Simon Preston Gallery

Shot on the fly through the window of a Toronto tattoo shop, this image by Josh Tonsfeldt stacks pictures – of the window itself, reflections on the glass, a man looking at a screen, and the same man using his skin as a surface. Printing on the cement-like material hydrocal lends a provocative, incongruous sense of permanence to a chance encounter. (At Simon Preston Gallery on the Lower East Side through Dec 20th).
