Marlborough Gallery Chelsea : Natural Renditions

It’s that time of the year again when galleries are packed with people just before it goes quiet for a while in the art world, and typically many of the shows are group themed summer shows. This is a great opportunity to see some otherwise up and coming art by newer artists. The group shows are also really good at packing galleries because everyone is going to call up their whole posse to come out. I find these kind of shows work best when there is a strong curatorial message behind the show, and of course that’s what you are going to get at Marlborough Gallery.

To be honest I wasn’t aware of the “theme” of this show when I went there, I just knew it was all working together very nicely and that I was enjoying it. There are apparently three floors of this show , I have only been to the two floors of this gallery and regret not making it up to the third to see more.

Pheobe-Washburn

There are many many works in this show and, like I say, really worth going to check out. I enjoy the above artist’s work a lot for a number of reasons and I would be curious one day to speak with her in person to see if my impressions of the work match her intentions, she is very popular especially since her huge splash at the Whitney Biennial a couple years ago. Her name is Pheobe Washburn and her work in that exhibit stopped me in my tracks. Other works of hers are more elusive to me but great never the less. I am going to leave this post with a link to the Natural Renditions page to see more of the works for your-self. Check it out – it’s very nice.
