PULSE<\/a> Contemporary Art Fairs are annual events that take place in Miami and New York. The art fair set up shop last week in New York City from May 9-12, 2013 at The Metropolitan Pavillion with various galleries from around the globe displaying a dazzling mix of paintings, photographs and sculptures. Shout out to Ariela for putting me on to this fantastic event!<\/p>\n

\nI enjoyed what artists had displayed at the Mike Weiss Gallery. Pictured above are life-size figures created by Brooklyn-based sculptor Will Kurtz<\/strong>. The sculptures were created with a variety of household materials such as newspaper, masking tape and wood. Also represented, art by Los Angeles based Cameron Gray<\/strong> whose multimedia works offer the viewer some eye-popping visuals. Pictured below on the left is his piece titled The Barbarians Are Almost At Your Gates<\/em> which features among other things: found sculpture, digital photos (lots of naked chicks!), hat pins and acrylic paint. Below on the right is his piece My Crazy Ex-girlfriend<\/em> and features a lovely girl in a bikini that features swirling colors.<\/p>\n

\nDuring the fair, the click-clacking sound of a typewriter could be heard and it was driving me crazy. I later found out that located in the middle of the exhibitor floor was a Los Angeles based artist Tim Youd<\/strong> focused and busily typing and reading aloud Henry Miller’s controversial novel Tropic Of Capricorn<\/em>. His project was being done on only two pieces of paper, creating a huge blot of ink and countless illegible indentations.<\/p>\n

Implement<\/em> by Jessica Drenk<\/strong> (pencils and glue!)

The West Collection featured some of my favorite pieces of the fair. The photos below features Bach<\/em> by Long-Bin Chen<\/strong> which is a sculpture of the classical composer made out of carved up books, magazines and glue. The books can be seen from the “Bach” of the sculpture.

Miro In The Mirror<\/em> by Patrick Hughes<\/strong>

\nThe painting above by Patrick Hughes was definitely one of my favorites at the art fair. It is an oil on board construction piece that blew me away. The painting can only truly be appreciated when you stand in front of it and then check it out from the sides. It isn’t painted entirely on a flat surface and the background is actually painted in the foreground and vice versa, creating a really cool optical illusion of depth. Check out a couple more photos below and be sure to check out the art fair when it comes back to NYC! Chocko will be looking forward to it. The next event: PULSE Miami 2013 takes place December 5-8 at The Ice Palace Studios. <\/p>\n
