TOP 10 NYC !#$%12456!@# ARTISTS NOW Andrea Bonin Born 1986 in Temple, Texas Andrea Bonin makes sculptures and assemblage using plaster, wax, clay, and found material. Having grown up in a creative household (her mother a painter and father a musician), Andrea experienced working on projects and expressing herself artistically as the norm from an early age. Her work deals with domesticity and nostalgia, and is essentially about finding reverence in the everyday. Her process is very much about experimentation, gesture and material. Right now she is working on a series of drawings that mimic patterns found in wrapping paper and newspaper advertisements. She’s interested in the notion of “holiday” and has a growing collection of ornaments, tinsel and old, faded party favors. Going forward, she’s interested in bringing some expressive and performative elements into her work relating to her former years as a dancer. www.andreabonin.com Sean Paul Gallegos Born 1976 on Earth, North America For Sean Paul Gallegos being an artist is not a choice, it just is. “The beauty of being an artist at this point in time is the option to be interdisciplinary,” says an artist who 10 years ago would get schooled that he needed to focus on one medium. “Sculpture is what sells and is exciting to create, but Performance is still in my heart.” Sean currently works out of his living room. His bath tub doubles as a slop sink and his queen size bed makes for a nice cutting table or work bench at times. Currently, he’s working on “Recovering my roots and having the will to challenge what is damaging in this world.” Ultimately through his work he hopes to open eyes and hearts. He also plans to have fun working, forget about the market and create more reasons to travel. www.seanpaulgallegos.com Rebecca Goyette Born 1992 in Provincetown, Massachusetts For a long time Rebecca has been drawing, play acting, reading, and nerding out on all things related to art and sex. Her videos are a balancing act of multiple elements including sculpture, sound, image and performance. Her work relates to her “desire" to work with others and…fascination with all things tactile/sensory.” Her current body of work focuses on Lobsta Sex, using lobster mating rituals (in which female lobsters box down a mate and squirt aphrodisiac drugs out of her forehead) as a point of departure. Her greatest artistic challenge? The “thin membrane between the fantasy world I construct, inhabit and play in with others and my everyday life. Drama can erupt. Desire is complex.” Her upcoming work explores asexual love between a Blue Lobsta burlesque singer and a man who dresses in 1600’s Puritan clothing all the time shot in a seaside town in New England. www.rebogallery.com Fred Gutzeit Born 1940 in Cleveland, Ohio Fred Gutzeit’s elementary school principal told his mother that Fred should have art lessons. Years later he’s a full-fledged painter working in acrylic on canvas and watercolor on paper. Incorporating digital prints and photography into his painting is also part of his practice. Fred’s work is about finding the unexpected. Says the artist of his work, “I’d like to take your eyes for a joyride.” Since 1970, Fred has worked from his studio on the Bowery and currently his greatest challenge is pulling together the various ideas comprising the last 50 years worth of his sketchbook. He’s currently working through an idea called “SigNature,” which involves six large paintings and dozens of small watercolors and acrylic panels. He’s also planning to do an outdoor wall billboard-installation. After that he’ll continue to sort through old sketchbook ideas and work them out in permanent sculptural form. www.fredgutzeit.com Phoenix Lindsey-Hall Born 1982 in Athens, Georgia Involved from a young age with social justice and humanitarian issues, Phoenix’s work encompasses the “poetry that cannot be expressed through traditional campaign field-work or fundraising pitches.” Building her projects from research and hard numbers, her work ultimately makes a departure into “obscurity, expression and emotions.” Having worked with photography for many years, her current work is more sculptural. Themes Phoenix has engaged in her practice include queer iconography, hate crimes, war and foreclosures. Her most recent body of work, After Kempf, is an exploration of l.g.b.t hate crimes. Using mixed media - including ceramic, concrete, and found materials - Phoenix transforms everyday objects that have been used as weapons in specific hate crime cases. Phoenix is currently Artist-in-Residence at Gallery Aferro in Newark, NJ. www.phoenixlindseyhall.com REVOLT <strong>Magazine</strong> Number 4, 2013 12
Duron Jackson Born in Harlem, New York Duron Jackson has made art since a very young age and currently works in the medium of sculpture. His work is about a way of being that's widely misunderstood, and narrowly represented. His greatest artistic challenge? “Saying a lot in the most simple way.” Working out of his studio in Brooklyn, Duron showed in fours exhibitions last fall including a solo show at the Brooklyn Museum. Currently, he’s in Salvador da Bahia on a Fulbright Research Fellowship where he’s concurrently doing a residency at Museu de Arte Moderna da Bahia. His plan is to “make art, eat, drink and be merry.” www.duronjackson.com/home.html Yuliya Lanina Born 1973 in Moscow, Russia When Yuliya first moved to the U.S. she planned to be a musician, but when she could not get access to musical instruments or musicians, she started drawing instead. Today she does painting, animatronic sculpture, animation and performance. Her work is about “looking at uncomfortable realities with a wink and a smile.” Having recently relocated to Austin, TX she splits her time between Austin and New York City and says “Having Internet in my studio,” is her greatest artistic challenge. After two recent solo shows in New York (Figureworks) and Cleveland (Cleveland Art Institute) she is currently working on a new animation and mechanical sculptures for her solo exhibitions at the Russian Cultural Center in Houston and W&TW in Austin . She also has a performance piece in the works. www.yuliyalanina.com Jong Oh Born 1981 in Nouadhibou, Mauritania Jong Oh is an artist working in sculpture and installation. Constantly exploring the boundaries between “something” and “nothing,” Jong’s work in a nut shell expresses “philosophical ponderings of the physical space we occupy.” He is currently looking for a wide space to make an installation of suspended wood sticks and panels. Says Jong, “I want to give the viewer a transforming spatial experience by simple compositions of lines and planes in space.” For his next series he plans to incorporate photography as a means of exploring the boundaries of interior and exterior space. www.ohjong.com Nell Painter Born 1942 in Houston, Texas Nell Painter. Photo by Bryan Thomas. Although born in Texas, Nell grew up in Oakland and considers it her hometown. After a successful career in academia, Nell turned to art and currently works in acrylic on canvas, paper, and Yupo (polypropylene paper), composing images on the computer as well as canvas. Nell’s work is about “seeing people as visual objects” and “the freedom to make visual fictions.” Nell maintains a big basement studio in the Dietze Building of the Ironbound section of Newark, New Jersey, where she is working on her current long-term project, Odalisque Atlas (about beauty, sex, and slavery). She also indulges in self-portraits and abstract drawings as purely formalist exercises. Nell recently appeared in conversation with Kara Walker at the Newark Public Library. www.nellpainter.com Tobaron Waxman Born in Toronto, Canada Benjamin Coopersmith and Tobaron Waxman, "Tashlich" (performance for photo, 2009.) Tobaron Waxman is a border crosser. Through performance, photography, video, voice and sound, he interrogates diasporic experience, contested national borders and the ways in which the State shapes gender. His work often deals with transgendered bodies, issues of consent, sexual representation, conflict and the queering of heterosexuality. Informed by his Jewish background, Tobaron’s work explores the trappings of social codes as layers and historical distortions, the authenticity of gender and embodiment as praxis. Tobaron is interested in “Place” as a dynamic tension. "The Place" being one of the names of god in Judaism, says the artist “I want the artists I’m collaborating with and the viewers to experience their citizenship of ‘The Place’ as agents of possibility.” His current work in process involves Tobaron bringing his own body back into the work as a vocalist based on a curriculum he has designed for the FTM voice derived from Western and non-Western traditions. www.tobaron.com
