MICHAEL BEVILACQUA

MICHAEL BEVILACQUA
CORROSIONS OF CONFORMITY
January 8 - February 21, 2009
Reception: Thursday, January 8, 6-8pm
GERING & LóPEZ GALLERY is pleased to present Corrosions of Conformity, a solo exhibition of work by New York-based artist Michael Bevilacqua. Bevilacqua's new paintings and works on paper command the viewer's attention with their robust palette and reflective content. In both process and concept, Bevilacqua has moved away from the crisp, graphic style that dominated his earlier work towards a more gestural and raw appearance. The resultant pieces are multilayered, consisting of a combination of different painting techniques including free-hand brushstrokes, collage, masking and stenciling.
Working towards a heightened sense of abstraction, Bevilacqua engages his audience in a dialogue by continuing to use cultural icons from children's fairytales, alternative music, and art history. In the Pop art tradition, Bevilacqua comes to terms with our times by juxtaposing images associated with these various cultural currents. Like the digital media that has come to define modern communication, these paintings and drawings defy a linear reading, engaging their audience on many levels. By creating multi-dimensional compositions, Bevilacqua allows the viewer several avenues of entry into his work. Through this practice, Bevilacqua creates art that defies easy categorization while targeting the ever-shifting fashions of society's conventions. This exhibition alludes to Bevilacqua's practice of recycling materials he has used or images he has seen, as key motifs frequently resurface throughout his work. The same icon takes on new meaning in different settings, corroding the original message.
Though the works appear abstract, their subject matter is quite personal, taken from Bevilacqua's experiences. The artist's recent travels to Greece inspired much of the aesthetic quality of this exhibition, seen in the pervasive Aegean blue hues and nautical themes. Conversely, this body of work also grapples with darker elements represented by skulls, body parts and poison apples. By meshing these macabre themes with a panoply of maritime imagery, Bevilacqua comes to terms with life and death in contemporary times.
Michael Bevilacqua was born in Carmel, California in 1966. He attended Long Beach State University and Santa Barbara City College, later continuing his studies at the Cambridge College of Art and Technology in Great Britain. Bevilacqua has exhibited internationally including solo shows at Galleri Faurschou in Beijing, China and Copenhagen, Denmark; Massimo Carasi/The Flat, Milan, Italy; The Louisiana Museum, Denmark; and Tomio Koyama Gallery, Tokyo, Japan. He has also exhibited in group shows at the Palais de Tokyo, Paris, France; Matthew Marks Gallery, New York, NY; Deste Foundation, Athens, Greece; The Phoenix Art Museum, Phoenix, AZ; and The Aldrich Museum of Contemporary Art, Ridgefield, CT. His work is in numerous public collections including the Mitsuni Collection, Tokyo, Japan; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, San Francisco, CA; Deste Foundation, Athens, Greece; Astrup Fearnley Museum, Oslo, Norway; The Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; and the Dallas Museum of Art, Dallas, TX. This will be Bevilacqua's first solo exhibition at Gering & López Gallery.

HOOD THONG?
Andy Warhol Still-Life Polaroids



Andy Warhol Still-Life Polaroids
Paul Kasmin Gallery
511 27th Street New York, New York
through January 10, 2009
What can we really say about one of the world’s greatest influences other than via the Paul Kasmin Gallery in New York, they are displaying a selection of 70 Still-Life Polaroids by Andy Warhol. Depicting a set of assorted objects taken by Warhol between 1977 and 1983, the exhibition captures a mass variety of subjects such as ballet shoes, eggs, knives, guns, perfume bottles and other commercial products as his ironic soup can. If you just happen to be in the area make sure you stop by the gallery and see things from a different time.

Wrapping up 2008
I'm wrapping up 2008 with a bang !
Where to start...
Starting off with 2008 was a great success met new faces, people that actually stood out in my life and made a huge difference in my life and I thank them to the fullest extent.. Then, I have the people that are always there for me when in time in need. I love you guys to death <3
I had my share of ups and downs this year. I have a list of things that I regretted and mistakes that I take back. I fail to realize it's okay to make mistakes, just as long as you see what wrong there was and never to repeat them.
I had a share of people come in and out of my life and some that stuck out like a sore thumb.... which in fact had a huge impacted in my life and has made me grow into a stronger person that i am now.
Also, with the car accident that affected my back a lot has just sucked recently and due to stress.. its not getting any better at all. It sucks a whole lot!
2008 was something..
With traveling all over the world with work. I thank Troi for showing me the opportunity to work with him side by side and teaching me the ways of this industry. Working with him has made me realize you can be creative and show off your skills.. Passion is something you have to strive for and know how to make it work.. Being a Stylist/make-up artist wasn't something that i dreamt of but it happened and honestly I truly love what I do.
I truly love my life..
I noticed at the end of the year... I actually had a lot of goals that I had achieved and things that i just left alone. I had certain things that made me sad and things that made me cry. I saw i was totally fronting on myself and the close people around me. As days passed me by, I saw that I wasn't happy at all with anything that came my way.. Nothing at all made my day except working and friends... I buried myself in working 3 jobs and shopping... I saw I was changing into the person that I hate... bitter, mean and a total bitch. There was a reason for that.. but I won't explain that here.. I'll just keep that to myself...
I thought it was impossible for me to be happy again.. but right now I have some kind of hope and faith in that, that everything will change for the better.
2008 was some kind of year
As for the situation that I'm in.. it's about that time to let go of the past and leave it in 2008. It's time to move forth with my life and see what else is in store for me. I'm getting older not younger. I hate playing games. It's time to grow up. I need to open my eyes and just get over it.
There's certain things that I still need to understand...
so 2009 is a brand new year... and i have a lot to learn in this world !
