James Kalm makes his first visit to Midtown since the “lockdown”, and brings viewers along for a stroll through of a juicy painting exhibition by one of today’s most recognized Neo-Expressionists Tal R (with bonus round run-throughs of Aliza Nisenbaum and, Chris Martin).
Your correspondent has been watching the development of Tal R for some time now, but this is the first selection of sculpture he’s displayed here in New York. With a witty mingling of Picasso, classic Hellenistic subjects and slacker street fashion, this group of works is a tasty addition to the warm, exuberant, child-like, flower paintings.
Aliza Nisenbaum presents a series paired water color floral and portrait sets. These bright and delicate pictures capture sitters in quotidian repose, and path-side plants and bouquets that are equally unselfconscious.
Finally, we’ll trip through a series of works on paper that Chris Martin has produced at his place in Upstate New York during the Covid 19 “lock-down”. A musical introduction is provided by Kas. This program was recorded September 22, 2020. #jameskalmreport #jameskalmrpughcuts #contemporaryart
