Jane Rosen at Sears Peyton Gallery

‘Knight to Rook,’ the title of Jane Rosen’s latest solo show at Sears-Peyton Gallery, highlights the strategic placement of her totemic sculptures; here, a glass raptor perches before a stone fox, both suggesting the birds of prey and jackal of Egyptian mythology.  Though the artist cites Giorgio Morandi’s vessel-based still lives as inspiration (particularly in a sculptural installation), Brancusi’s stylized, curving sculptures atop rough-hewn plinths come to mind, linking the finished product back to its origins in nature.  (On view in Chelsea through Dec 15th).

Dove Bradshaw at Corey Danese Gallery

Many artists aim to get a reaction from their audience; New York artist Dove Bradshaw elicits one from her materials, applying chemicals to silver or water to salt, for example. In 1996, she began work on the piece pictured here, ‘Waterstone,’ by training a constant slow drip of water on limestone; it continues to the present day. (At Chelsea’s Corey Danese Gallery through March 15th).
