Art New York, presented by Art Miami, returns to Pier 94 from May 3-6 offering noteworthy and fresh works by important artists from the contemporary, modern, post-war and pop eras, featuring paintings, photography, prints, drawings, design and sculpture.
The 2018 edition will see over 85 international contemporary and modern galleries from 30 countries come together to represent over 1,200 artists including CONTEXT, a platform for a selection of new and established contemporary galleries to present emerging, mid-career and cutting-edge talent.
During the fair, Corey Helford Gallery will be presenting the work of Adrian Cox "Forging the Fatherdress," at booth ANY210.
We asked Adrian, how music inspired this piece :
" My paintings chronicle the mythic narrative of the Border Creatures, a fictional race of beings that live in a lush and wild landscape. This painting, "Forging the Fatherdress," depicts the Border Creatures collaborating to create a a supernatural garment that will help them protect their home from a mysterious and spectral threat. The ritual depicted here requires every creature to pour their expressive energy into the dress; painting, fashion, poetry, and music combine into a harmonious whole through their actions. And throughout this moment of creativity, the character Glow Gardener provides a soundtrack on the guitar. "
