NOA CHARUVI
November 6 - December 20, 2009
Parker's Box at 193 Grand Street, Brooklyn
NotAbstract 1 is an international group exhibition of painters working in the space between abstraction and figuration where "the paint itself relies on a representational image to exist, and vice versa, but where both somehow remain independent of each other in a kind of on-the-edge mutually parasitic symbiosis, something like the relationship between the crocodile and the bird it lets clean its teeth." Featuring work of Noa Charuvi, Damien Cabanes, Ted Gahl, Angelina Gualdoni, Stefan Sehler.

MAYA GOLD
Wake
Mike Weiss Gallery
520 West 24th Street
Solo Exhibition
October 29, 2009-January 9, 2010
"Mike Weiss Gallery is excited to present Wake, an exhibition of new oil paintings on canvas by Israeli artist Maya Gold. This is the artist's first solo exhibition in New York and at Mike Weiss Gallery. Her use of a combination of soft, nearly see-through backgrounds and precisely executed subjects in the foreground blend the genres of abstraction and figuration and challenge the viewer to make that distinction. This series of paintings is greatly influenced by the artist's time spent living in Israel and her proximity to the sea and urban landscape."
"The title of the exhibition, Wake, is meant to conjure the same curiosity as to which particular meaning it denotes. All at once, Wake is a reference to the shape of water when it parts behind a boat after it passes, the time after dreaming when we slip into present consciousness, and the services that are attended by friends and family after the passing of loved one. The viewer, hovering, peering down ghostlike above the world below is left to guess from where they are supposed to be viewing this world. It is the ambiguity of the moment, the uncertainty of the time that the artist captures on the canvas."
