No words, just print
New exhibit explores innovative medium
Story and video by Sherry MazzocchiVisitors to the Lehman College Art Gallery's upcoming show won’t find a common theme.
"That’s intentional," said Susan Hoeltzel, the Gallery’s Director. Instead, viewers will find a broad swath of new and innovative work. “We wanted to show a lot of different artists and how they were working."
"Morphology of Print" reveals a wide array of contemporary artists who are breaking the mold of traditional printmaking.
The work of nearly 30 well-known and emerging artists is on display.
The group show includes two Bronx artists. Rosemarie Fiore is an established artist, known for her fire and smoke paintings. Tammy Nguyen is an up-and-coming artist who’s also new to the Bronx. Brooklyn-based Scherezade Garcia’s work depicts water and waves, reflecting the Dominican experience of coming to the U.S. In addition, several prints in the show are borrowed from the master printmaker Judith Solodkin, who recently moved her studio to the Bronx. The Bronx Free Press talked to all four artists.

“I have to push the boundaries of the medium,” says Rosemarie Fiore.

Smoke is the right dance partner
Smoke bombs and fireworks are Fiore’s tools of trade. Using a specially designed rolling mechanism, she performs a kind of alchemical dance with the elements; creating works drawn with smoke, wind and fire.
The bombs release a pigmented smoke, which is transparent. She glazes it over other colors, often going over it several times to create a depth and density of color.
She is constantly adjusting for the environment. Smoke also reacts to temperature and humidity. Wind makes the smoke dissipate quickly. "On a calm day, the smoke acts more like water and will form stream lines or river lines on the paper," she said. "It becomes heavier on days without a lot of wind."
The smoke paintings are layered with smaller smoke explosions that are cut out and put on top of the larger work, creating a topography of smoke. The process is a kind of controlled chaos. "I have to push the boundaries of the medium," she said.
Fiore said of her work, "The medium of smoke connects me very quickly and deeply into a creative place because it’s so ephemeral. You only have four seconds with the wick to put it down, contain it and move it. You’re thrown into the creative process very quickly. For me, smoke is the right dance partner."
Fiore’s work is also on display at Von Lintel Gallery in Chelsea.

Antonio Murado. Terras | Wall Street International
Antonio Murado. Terras
24 October – 7 December 2013 at Von Lintel Gallery, New York.
Murado's canvases are feats of technical virtuosity, demonstrating his facility with paint and ability to create paintings that are at once both abstract and representational. From a distance, this new body of work appears to approach photographic realism, but when viewed more closely the rural landscape imagery dissolves entirely. Murado is interested in the idea that our eye seeks recognizable forms, finding a visual narrative where there are only brushstrokes. Several of the new paintings include a solid block of bright color that stands in contrast to the subtlety and depth of the rest of the canvas—a continuation of Murado's interest in juxtaposing movement with stillness and transparency with solidity. These bold vivid bands interrupt the suggestion of the nineteenth-century landscape painting, blending tradition and innovation to surprise and captivate.
Murado has exhibited internationally for over two decades. His work is held by many major Spanish museums and is included in important public and private collections throughout Europe and the United States. Murado's paintings have been written about extensively in Spain and the numerous publications that have reviewed his work in the United States include ArtForum and The New York Times. Born in Lugo, Spain, the artist currently lives and works in New York.
