MEHGAN SMYTHE: RECENT EXPLORATIONS IN CERAMIC SCULPTURE | An Exclusive ARTSY Online Exhibition On View Now

We are proud to present the new ceramic works of Meghan Smythe in her exclusive ARTSY exhibition, “Recent Explorations in Ceramic Sculpture”. Through her use of traditional monument format, Smythe captures the delicate balance between intimacy and brutality, beauty and ugliness.

Using a traditional sculptural format (the monument), Meghan Smythe captures contradicting extremes within human gesture: intimacy and brutality, beauty and ugliness, or the lewd and tender. In her attempt to achieve an “elegant vulgarity,” she encapsulates moments that define our mortality in unanticipated ways; oftentimes toeing the delicate line between erotic and macabre tendencies that give way to life, and ultimately death. Glass, ceramic, and concrete are woven together in an elaborate, orgy-like web of body parts and organic artifacts, as if suddenly cast with Pompeii-like circumstances. Like excavated antiquities or fossils, Smythe’s ceramic compositions allude to the cyclical nature of civilization – a dramedy in which all of the players are subject to conquest and demise.

Smythe (b. 1984, Kingston, ON) received her MFA from the Alfred University School of Art and Design (NY). Her work has been shown at the Arizona State University Art Museum (AZ) and the Gardiner Museum, Toronto (ON). She was the Visiting Artist in Residence at California State University, Long Beach (CA) from 2012-2014.

EXCLUSIVE ONLINE EXHIBITION NOTICE: Ben Weiner: Mood Drawings | Artsy

@MarkMooreGallery is pleased to present Ben Weiner: Mood Drawings, an exhibition focused on the artist’s ongoing series of “Diary” drawings. 

VIEW THIS SHOW NOW AT: https://bit.ly/486huRp

In these alchemical works, New York artist Ben Weiner soaks ink-coated chromatography paper in solutions of drugs, resulting in hazy, prismatic abstractions. Inspired by the “drug diaries” patients keep during clinical trials, Weiner made the drawings using substances left from his own daily consumption, so that they constitute a record of his mental states over time. The drugs range from the psychedelic to the addictive, to the mundane, including Marijuana, Paxlovid, MDMA, Vicodin, Kombucha, Advil, Caffeine, and Mezcal. By couching painterly expressionism within an honest record of his substance usage, Weiner self-critically engages with issues surrounding wellness and mental health.

Ben Weiner studied painting under muralist José Lazcarro Toquero at La Universidad de las Americas (Mexico), before completing his BA at Wesleyan University (CT). His work has been exhibited widely within the US and internationally, at institutions including The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum, The Tarble Art Center, The Carnegie Art Museum, ArtSpace, La Gruta (CDMX), and The Boca Raton Museum of Art. Weiner has been included in recent gallery exhibitions at 56 Henry, Ochi Gallery, Below Grand, Grey Area, Hunted Projects, and Mark Moore Gallery. His work is represented in various public collections, including Microsoft, Sammlung, Progressive Insurance, and The Frederick R. Weisman Collection. He has been featured in publications including Artforum, Artnews, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, W Magazine, Interview Magazine, Artsy, and Vogue. Weiner lives and works in Queens, New York. Early in his career Weiner worked closely with the artist Jeff Koons as an assistant.
