Nick Kleist




These are all (so dark! and dulled!!!) from an opening that I went to last weekend at the Mark Weiss Gallery on 520 w24th. The gallery exhibited open paintings all week by Herman Nitsch and his team. The show is amaizng and demonstrates color in an amazing way!

Also my gallery, the Jenkins Johnson Gallery on 521 w26th st, has an opening on March 10th where we are exhibiting an artist that deals with issues of color, race and identity through mixed media works. He uses brown paper bags, alluding to the "paper bags tests," and contrasts this with pastels and melted and crafted faces. Hearing the artist, Nathaniel Donnett, speak about this reminded me of our skin tone painting session, check it out!
