Audrey Kawasaki: exclusive first look at new paintings

Audrey Kawasaki: exclusive first look at new paintings:




As regular BB readers know, we are huge fans of Los Angeles-based painter Audrey Kawasaki. Mark and I both have had original paintings by Audrey hanging in our homes for years and they continue to bring us great joy. Audrey's next solo show, titled "Midnight Reverie," opens September 8 at New York City's Jonathan LeVine Gallery. We are thrilled to present this exclusive sneak preview of these otherworldly new paintings, courtesy of Jonathan Levine Gallery, with thanks to Maléna Seldin. I think this is Audrey's most magnificent work yet.





Here's what Audrey said about the show:



“Some of the pieces have windows, like passage-ways into another world, yet it can also feel like limbo or static—wanting to walk through to the other
side, but not being able to. Others are deep in the make believe, magical,
mystical realm. In these, the black parts represent a void, emptiness or the
unknown, yet they can also be something real and solid, like holes or
shadows.”
