NY Studio Gallery

* If you are in the mood to check out some lovely offtrack offbeat art, you should come to NYSG. A fresh small little alternative to MoMa.
* The very current exhibition — False Idols by Al Wadzinski is an absolute must-​see! The centerpiece of the exhibition is a huge life-​size horse sculpture/​installation made from common junk materials (shopping cart, tyres, shoes, lamp stand etc) is mind-​blowing! It’s one big puzzle in itself. Creativity at its best. Superb!
PS: I don’t want to leak spoilers by uploading photo of the big horse :) Check it out yourself…

Cute spot with several small rooms. They have different themed events, drawings and structures that change in (I’m guessing) a monthly/​bimonthly basis. We went to check out their «trash» exhibit, and we all know you can make all sorts of funky 3D pieces out of trash! Next month it’s all about sex. All the exhibits are free, which is of course a plus.
The worker was friendly and laid-​back, my boo and I were able to drop off our scooters in the front and roam around. There were only a couple people there, since it was a cold, freezing day! We picked up some free postcard/​ads, dropped in my business card to get added onto their mailing list, chatted with the worker, took a couple of pics and left.
Btw, this building can be a bit easy to miss-​on top there’s an ad for «clothes» but it really is the gallery. Just check the door.

This cute, versatile gallery space contains a lot of mix media artwork.
The space can also be rented out for parties, and it includes an upstairs and downstairs space (each with a max capacity of 150 people).
Zeina is very chill, thorough, and easy to talk to.

NY Studio Gallery is an intimate gallery space located 6 floors above street level. A friendly and helpful receptionist is hidden behind a rack of postcards which feature the myriad of artists who have been showcased in the space. Kristen Copham, an artist herself, owns & operates the gallery.
If you are visiting any of the other galleries in the neighborhood, definitely stop by. Make a FREE appointment to sit for Ms. Copham & she will paint your portrait in an hour to add to her «Your Face Here» series.
If you like the painting of you (or me), you may purchase the original for less than $ 500. A print on canvas will run you less than $ 200.
I was painted this week as #470. Don’t worry about sitting still. Ms. Copham is more interested in capturing your essence and energy than making an exact copy of your visage.
Thank you fellow Unilocaler, Brave G. for introducing me to Ms. Copham & her gallery! ⁵⁄₅ stars.
