Nathan Hylden at Misako & Rosen
Untitled, 2010, acrylic on canvas, 73.6 x 58.4cm. Image courtesy of the gallery.
Last Sunday Misako & Rosen opened a new exhibition of Nathan Hylden's work. This is his sophomore show at the gallery, the last one dating all the way back to 2007. The seven paintings on view (four acrylics and silkscreen on aluminum, and three acrylics on canvas) help to trace the artist's preoccupation with the processes and the effects of pigment application. The regular grid of silkscreen dots enhances the lightness inherent in aluminum, making the works hover above the surface of the wall. In contrast, the paintings on canvas absorb the light, bringing forth the materiality of the texture of the support.

Zdravko Toic, The Invisible, at the Hiromart Gallery
Just a few paces away from Yuka Contemporary, the Hiromart Gallery is showing abstract paper collages by Croatian-born, New-York based artist Zdravko Toic. The works of view reference surrealist and constructivist vocabularies, reviving the spirit of mid-career Wilfredo Lam and early Naum Gabo. The cut paper portions compete with the inked cores of the work.
The exhibition will run through November 14.
