Photographs by Tina Barney
These photographs by Tina Barney are from a series called Players now on view through December 18 at Janet Borden Gallery in New York. What I love most is their visual tension: there is a certain confrontation that immediately takes place between viewer and subject. They are editorialized subjects of wealth and privilege, presented for my condemnation.

Paintings by Justin Allen
Justin Allen creates oil on panel paintings that are rendered in many layers of oil and glaze. Though small in size, some take up to two years to complete. Reminiscent of a verisimilitude of light and color as seen in the works of Dutch interior painters like Jan Vermeer, Petrus Christus and Has Memling, Allen's pieces are striking. They seem decidedly youthful, simple and pure in form, objects un-seduced by their own beauty. Allen believes that he "paints the contemporary with a deep appreciation for an older vernacular."
