Friday, February 12, 2010 marked the opening for Chelsea Gallery, Rogue Space‘s show, Valentine’s Nude Workshop. The gallery featured a wide range of mediums with the figure as theme, with some artists from Barebrush.com. During the show, behind a private curtain, live drawing sessions were taking place. Inside the low-lit room were two models, striking a series a three different poses per session. In addition, TGN was able to judge the artists works from after the event.

Throughout his career, Rembrandt took on a select group of students and taught them the techniques that he had spent his life perfecting. Because of the numerous works born in the academic environment that he created, many of the works are today disputed over whether the works came from Rembrandt or from one of the students, influenced by his style.

That is exactly what the show titled Rembrandt and his Pupils showing at the Getty Center until February 28th set out to show. Using a series of comparative techniques, the exhibit helps to explain the difference between a work of Rembrandt and of the fifteen pupils shown in the exhibit. Showing just over one hundred works on paper the collection highlights the brilliant simplicity in the work created between Rembrandt and his pupils.

Seated Female Nude, Rembrandt, 1661

Last night, February 3rd, was the opening night for the newly relocated DFN Gallery. After having previously been located in Soho, and in Chelsea, DFN now takes residence on the Upper East Side, where its modern works refresh the local art scene.

The energy filled opening, titled Looks Good on Paper offers a broad range of works from over forty different artists. Being works on paper, the general scale of the pieces were mostly on the smaller side, but the consistent media did not limit variety at the show. Many of the pieces carried themes of beautiful imagery, inspiration seeming to come from a blend of everyday life as well as the fantastical. Some of the artists featured include Vincent Desiderio, Steve Shaheen, and Joan Semmel.
