James Kalm is sweating his way through the first summer heat wave. Your correspondent is back on the bike, and back on the street. David Johansen Paintings at Elloitt Templeton Fine Arts is a collection of paintings from the early twenty teens that display Johansen’s proclivity towards the exotic. Mostly single figure studies of men wearing fezzes, these paintings are thickly built up giving the subjects and framing elements a three-dimensional presence in glittering pigment. They also contrast ironically the image of byzantine icons with the assumed Islamic characters portrayed, and stylistically the notion of “Bad Painting” and the “Pattern&Decorative” movement.
“Sail -By Salute” is a tilted room installation featuring a massive pointillist depiction of the Costa Concordia disaster. From Wikipedia: The Costa Concordia disaster, the capsizing of an Italian cruise ship on January 13, 2012, after it struck rocks off the coast of Giglio Island in the Tyrrhenian Sea. More than 4,200 people were rescued, though 32 people died in the disaster”. Talmage has rendered the sinking ship in high detail tiny strokes which contrasts the idea of timely image creation against the speed of which this disaster actually happened.
A BONUS ROUND featuring DUBUFFET X GIACOMETTI at NAHMAD CONTEMPORARY, from the press release “Despite moving in the same Parisian circles, sharing a gallerist and concurrently introducing their unique postwar European sensibilities to New York, Jean Dubuffet (1901-85) and Alberto Giacometti (1901-66) have only once been presented together in a dedicated pairing: at Sidney Janis Gallery, New York, in 1968. After more than half a century and countless solo and group exhibitions across the globe, Dubuffet x Giacometti juxtaposes a careful selection of more than 20 works by these iconic artists, including paintings and sculptures.” #jameskalmreport #jameskalmroughcut #lorenmunk

James Kalm is a guy who spends much of his time traveling the streets and avenues of New York City, video camera in hand, in search of the cultural “White Whale”. Many times, it isn’t until he returns to the studio and starts editing the residue of his journeys, that he notices serendipitous connections between the modes and sensibilities of these recordings. Francis Picabia is perhaps one of t...

James Kalm was on an art recon marathon recently, and wrapped up a long day of recording with a visit to a pair of painting exhibitions that couldn’t lay further apart on the aesthetic spectrum. Joanne Greenbaum’s “Scaffold” at Mitchell-Innes & Nash is an expansion of Greenbaum’s signature scribbly bio-morphic abstraction. These works contrast curvy shards of intense matte paint with underlayin...

Did you just not want to bother him or did you just not recognize him?
Recognize who??? Of course I recognized him, been a fan since the early New York Dolls (though I was never that much into Punk) Seems he was engaged with his cell phone, and as you know, you don't wanna get between someone and their phone...JK
And the Artist? Very🤗❤❤
Merci❤❤Paris and the singer( rin)is wonderful 😧😲💖

thank you Kate, and thank you James
Is it that masks make people crazy, or crazy people just like the masks? Thank you Kate!
Wow, a banked gallery floor (for the cruise ship wreak painting)! I can just see the gallery's lawyer frantically calling from his beach house on Long Island... Those Giacometti portraits. Just mind bending and deep. Interesting to compare them mentally to Baselitz' figures. As for Dubuffet, I read somewhere that he was extremely prolific in *writing* about art. He emerged right after WWII as quite the thought leader in France. Would love to read some of that. Thanks James, thanks Kate!
Yes, Dubuffet was a prolific and influential writer. Also proposed a new aesthetic appreciation of the untrained, uneducated artist. He's the Godfather of art brut...JK
Been a David Johansen fan forever. So delighted that he is a visual artist. Very pleasantly surprised. Thank you Kate.
Thanks for not including the street musicians.
Thank you and thank you kate
Great textures, vibrant.
Thanks!
i love you james, thank you for this from brussels !
Beautiful Art ! Thanks Kate !
8.54mins. Peggy Guggenheim suggested in 1943 to Jackson Pollock he look at 12th century Japanese collages. Lee Krasner might show of the influence of Japanese collages in this painting
So many wonderful moments of this double-whammy tour by JK. All the great back stories, considerations, accounts and musings just made a feast once again of your gallery tours. I really loved where you put an inset video of your newly found Pearlstein Master's thesis on Picabia. I heard once somewhere that art professors were leery of their students becoming fans of Picabia, but o/c this was art schools back in the 80s and 90s. Melvin Way is just out of this world amazing. I'll hope to find my own art book of his works eventually so I can spend hours disappearing into his mystical tapestries. Thanks James, thanks Kate.
A good painting is about the whole, so film the whole!

Melvin Way is a genius… Almost all of his work is a “beauty,” though I see a touch of Alchemical art influenced by William Blake. 👍😊
Thanks James, great show, greetings from Havana. Cuba.
Greetings to all our viewers in HAVANA.
Thank you!
Melvin Way's work is super. Reminds me of the work of Ray Johnson.
It would be good if political artists (Kozloff) did their research and did not spread CIA and State Department lies and propaganda. There is literally zero evidence that Uyghurs are being genocided, let alone forced into labour. The actual evidence is that the central authorities have stopped fundamentalists/Jihadists terror attacks (there were hundreds of such, with very possible links to CIA funded terrorists) and made Xinjiang safe and prosperous. Literally NO evidence that would stand up in court has been produced of a so-called genocide or forced labour and even Biden's lawyers have told his administration that. But the truth is never allowed to get in the way of the West's anti-China warfare and plans to start a war with China over Taiwan (as a proxy) to weaken China so the US can maintain its hegemony and so no US soldiers are killed (not poplar with the voters). Sound familiar? Yep, exactly like Ukraine. I really can't abide comfortable, priviledged liberal Western artists too lazy to do basic research into US imperialist propaganda. Rant over.
Thanks James for two interesting reviews. I really liked Neil Jenney's paintings, and really appreciate his skill as a carpenter, but honestly, I feel most of the time his frames are doing his painting a diservice. So many times they are distracting, and they do the opposite of drawing me in to see more. And lest I forget Thank you Kate!
Wow! Love those frames.
Great! Nice pairing of artists.
Found the JG show a bit off-putting. Some of the color combo's worked but for the most part they had a kind of a maladroit vibe to them. The reds and yellows were a bit too aggressive for me plus the drawing elements just didn't seem to marry well with the patches of color. Technically I'd also be a bit concerned about the possible non-archival quality of the ink markers. In a similar bad painting vein I much preferred the Joe Bradley show at David Zwiner from a few weeks ago.
Your commentary, as always, is excellent. Neil Jenney has produced some of the nicest furniture I've seen for a while.
And it's extremely durable...JK
The TT show was just amazing. For me it had kind of a Joan Synder fuses a Martin Wrong vibe. Nice juxtaposition of light sketchy areas with the chunky impasto parts.
Thanks! @jameskalmroughcut please consider taking us to see Ray Johnson's work at Starr Gallery.
To make wonderful Art is very, very difficult,oh, yes😮😯☘️
Thank you Kate, JK/LM I so appreciate you bringing NY to Gig Harbor and insightful investigation of ART. total healing, only focus necessary other than nature
Nice to hear from you Christina. Hope things are going well in Gig Harbor...JK
Trudy is an excellent colorist
According to you this is art? 🥴
🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
If Neil is going to paint something idealized, he might as well have painted some controversial ideology. I see no bravery there. 🙏🏼😊
Joanne’s take on or conversation with Albert Oehlen…
Crapstraction LOL! Really like this work though, especially the technique of drawing with bleach on dyed fabric and the loose threads like painted lines. Lovely. Wonder what that little kid at the beginning is doing now? 🤗
AWESOME! Thanks for showing.
Wow! Awesome! Your descriptive accompaniment adds so much Loren, thank you. Especially great to see the Neil Jenney's, that was a real treat. Those frames make me think of alterpieces and devotional icons as well as offering a slit window view from inside a bunker. Reverence, anxiety, perversity and a technique that borders on insanity make for a heady brew. The time span across the production dates of the whole show, as well as individual works is fascinating . I feel there's something meaningful in that too. Which is especially poignant considering the apparent speed with which the 'Bad' paintings were made. Resolute and defiant but with a sensibility that seems to speak of the end of times. Incredible!
After the initial reception of Neil's "Bad Paintings" and the attention and market they found, there were rumors (only rumors) that many of these works were pre-dated, and he kept producing them long after the "bad Painting" period passed.
Two amazing artists and completely different from each other! I’m so glad I watched this! Thanks James and Kate of course 👍
Thank you Sensei Kalm-san for another enriching walking lesson in looking and appreciating art. I learned what Flasche is, for one. Joanne's work seems so free of pretense, and just friendly and accessible. Making it look so easy, and also full of happiness. I bet an absolute ton of young artists take her success as a breath of hope against a possible jadedness from the big bad art world. Mr. Jenney is not my cuppa, but appreciate your thorough review as ever. ありがとうございます! And arigatto Kate-san!
Neil Jenney is one of my favorite artists. Whether you like the work or not, he's such a unique character in the New York art scene that I've gotta hold him in high regard...JK
@@jameskalmroughcut Yes indeed, no disrespect intended. Taste cannot be disputed! Thanks again JK!
Thank you Kate !!!!!!!!
As always, thanks James! Wanted to say that when I hear people speaking of the Italian Renaissance distinction between disegno (drawing) and colore (color) I sometimes get the impression the meaning is misunderstood. Disegno was said to be the foundation of painting by the Florentine painters who made fully developed drawings before applying colors. The style of colore painting is best represented by Titian (a Venetian) who went straight into the canvas with his colors without doing preliminary drawings. Colore, therefore, doesn't mean color as in colorfulness. Colore is the name for paints. Your paints are your colors. And Titian's mature paintings are tonal - not brightly colored. In fact, the Florentines made the more colorful paintings - think of Fra Angelico, Fillipo Lippi, Michelangelo, Bronzino, etc. They drew out their designs and filled them with brilliant colors. I think that's what confuses people - they expect colore-style paintings to be more colorful. The opposite is true.
Very helpful comment, appreciate it. 👍
That's fascinating, thank you @singlespies!
Bravo!
