Disembodied Eyes

acrylic on paper, 11" x 14"
The Disembodied Eyes series depicts floating eyes in a landscape, positing that the self is coterminous with the environment and operates in collaboration with the agency of other entities, including that of painting – which here explicitly returns the gaze.

Woman Walking on Avenue B: Drawings at Adjacent To Life

Fyman_AtL.jpg

Tinsquo's curatorial project, Adjacent To Life, presents Woman Walking on Avenue B: Drawings by Cliff Fyman.

Chronicling neighborhood scenes, New York native and poet Cliff Fyman extends the realm of the familiar to include particular paving stones, specific tree trunks and branch bends, new leaves, even the distant perambulation of a stranger.

Exploring a variety of drawing media, the artist lovingly scrutinizes every element in his fields of observation, rendering each detail with the same focused degree of curiosity, suggesting that any branch, trunk, leaf or new encounter offers a portal for the possibility of transcendence if graced with attention.

Woman Walking on Avenue B: Drawings is on view through December 2 at the Adjacent to Life gallery housed in Ninth Street Espresso (341 E. 10th Street at Ave B, New York City).
