Matthew Brandt at Yossi Milo

Known for his creativity with photo printing processes (he presented heliographs created with tar from the La Brea Tar Pits in his last show) LA artist Matthew Brandt created this piece from his ‘Burnout’ series by using acid to thin out areas of velvet on which he’s reproduced an image of a garment created with the same burnout process. (In Chelsea at Yossi Milo Gallery through August 29th).

Sze Tsung Leong at Yossi Milo Gallery

Scenes from different continents look oddly similar in Sze Tsung Leong’s mesmerizing ‘Horizons’ show at Chelsea’s Yossi Milo Gallery. Here, a photo of Havana rubs shoulders with a shot from Paris, linking two unlikely cities by their dense landscape and domed architecture. (Through July 11th).

Julie Cockburn at Yossi Milo Gallery

Has this couple managed a mind-meld between her warm personality and his cool-colored tranquility?  Or do they remain at opposite ends of a spectrum?  Titled ‘The Anniversary,’ this embroidery on a found photograph by British artist Julie Cockburn grants suggestive new lives to forgotten pasts.  (At Yossi Milo Gallery in Chelsea through Jan 25th).

Simen Johan at Yossi Milo Gallery

New York based-Scandinavian artist Simen Johan’s latest photos from his ongoing series, ‘Until the Kingdom Comes’ are stronger than even, offering seamless images of animals inserted into landscapes that would be alien to them, as with these giraffes (shot in a U.S. zoo), whose heads are lost in the fog of landscapes from Turkey, Bali & Iceland.  (At Chelsea’s Yossi Milo Gallery through Dec 7th).

Pieter Hugo at Yossi Milo Gallery

Known for his sobering photographic visions of modern Africa (including his reknowned hyena keeping minstel series), South African photographer Pieter Hugo’s new photo series ‘Kin’ brings him closer to home as he depicts South African citizens whose lives have been marked by the legacy of Apartheid.  (At Chelsea’s Yossi Milo Gallery through Oct 19th).
