Artopolis 2009 - Next

The "Next" exhibit
(of younger galleries and artists)
is mostly a vast wasteland for me -
one MFA project after another.

But
I did like a few things,
like this head painted by the German artist,
Christian Schoeler.






John Copland (b. 1975)


And here's an amusing young American painter.

The large, 8 ft. painting doesn't quite hold together
except as a gag.





but I enjoy its details





Claire Sherman


and I like this large scale painting,
that seems to be
architectural in ambition.

She should be painting murals
for a zoo cafeteria.
