woods with her so he could eat her in privacy.” – Kathy Ruttenberg

Opens Tonight, Jan 5, 6-8p:
Margaret Evangeline “Time Bomb” & Kosyo Minchev “Erasing the Tracks”
STUX Gallery, 530 W25th St., NYC
In “Time Bomb” Evangeline continues her unique parallel painting practice that consists of exploring various time signatures left by gestural marks of paint on canvas and marks on stainless steel in the form of bullet holes. Evangeline’s current production extends the artist’s core visual and philosophical pursuits attending to experiences of temporality and of becoming.
Kosyo excels at guiding viewers towards the provocative yet elusive middle grounds between the classical and the contemporary, the visible and the imaginary, the fleshly and the spiritual. He confounds standards and categories we commonly rely on to examine the world, but also advocates for their necessity. While his works demand awareness of history and its effects on our visual judgments, they also challenge us not to bluntly abandon our preconceptions and search for an informed consensus.
