Jack Greene's Hot Rod & Other Trips

Jack Greene has been making art his entire life – canvases and painted reliefs that riff on the abstractions borne of a jazz-infused consciousness.  You can practically hear these works hum.  Above: Hot Rod, acrylic Aqua-Resin, 2012.

The artist who lives and works on Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts, is currently making sculpted painted resin reliefs that float like low hung clouds of pleasant delirium.  Greene's new web site by artist Caterina Verde shows not only these gorgeous abstracts, but also his process and the wonderful studio where he teases out these dreams.  Take a look and a listen:  Jack Greene Web Site.

VENICE SWIM

Floods in Venice this November are getting insane, but the tourists don't care.  These guys just stripped down and went paddling about St Marks Square (November 11, 2012). Yes, that's the Basilica St Marco behind them.  Sunday's flood level peaked at 58.66 inches (149 cm), below the 63 inches (160 cm) that washed through Venice four years ago.

Zack Feuer Gallery : After The Flood

A survey of Chelsea galleries after the flood and damage caused by Sandy proved to be largely disastrous for spaces on West 21st Street, with dealer Zack Feuer reporting that he could salvage perhaps "only 2 percent of his inventory."

Full story in this New York Times report.  In addition, there is this Art in America report, with a slide show.
