For Ilona Golovina, the landscape becomes both collaborator and material.

Pressed directly into the earth, clay records the textures of the terrain while local rocks, grasses, sticks, and other natural materials become embedded in its surface. The vessels are then fired in the ground, allowing fire and chance to leave their own marks.

“Marcus and Red”, Jim Watt’s solo show, opened on a stormy Saturday night, and the weather couldn’t have been a better match for Watt’s bold, saturated explorations of the color red.

Thank you to everyone who braved the rain and brought such great energy to the reception!

“Marcus and Red” is on view at 501 W 23rd St through October 18. 🎈

"And Red! And Red! And Red! — I don’t even know what that means! What does ‘red’ mean to me? You mean scarlet? You mean crimson? You mean plum-mulberry-magenta-burgundy-salmon-carine-carnelian-coral? Anything but ‘red!’ What is ‘RED?!’"

Jim Watt’s newest series of paintings explores this very question. Marcus and Red OPENS this Saturday 9/26 at 6-8pm!
