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.

Gary Baseman in The Ukraine

Artist Gary Baseman writes from The Ukraine, his ancestral home: "Toby & I loved the Color Explosion when we entered this little Ukrainian Market in Kostopol, which used to be the hometown of my mother."  (Toby is the artist's creation and in the arms of the shopkeeper in this photo).
