my favorite artist also happens to be one of my dearest, dearest friends ~ such beautiful, thoughtful, and lyrical work!! i am thrilled to encourage my new york readers to attend the opening reception for her solo show, amy pleasant: tight shot, this thursday at jeff bailey gallery, in the chelsea gallery district. the exhibition features paintings, drawings and a site-specific wall drawing. read more about her beautiful work and process here. and, if you aren't in new york, amy also has a solo show right now at the contemporary in atlanta ~ the bed, after lautrec. her shows are always breathtaking, so do go if you're able!
