‘NOAH BECKER’
\nopened THURS, NOV 7, 2013
\nthe show runs thru DEC 1, 2013
\nTHE LODGE GALLERY<\/a> – 131 CHRYSTIE ST – LOWER EAST SIDE, NYC
\nHRS: TUES-FRI: 2PM – 10PM \/ SAT+SUN: 12PM – 10PM<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nNOAH BECKER is a “an acclaimed oil painter” who has presented many exhibitions, including those at international museums on his resume. Interestingly he is also a Jazz saxophonist, and .. an arts writer.
\nalong with being a contributing writer for Art in America, Interview, Canadian Art, the HuffPost, and ARTVOICES, he is the founder of Whitehot Magazine.<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nNOAH BECKER, ‘Self Portrait #2′, oil on canvas’, 24 x 30 in. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nwhat I found fascinating was how the portrait, changed ‘aspect’ . . just the way a face does in reality.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nand that seemed to be the case with all the self-portraits here, no matter the historical influence and \/ or background.
\nno wonder Mr. Becker seems fascinated himself, with his capturing his own image.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nNOAH BECKER, ‘Self Portrait #2 (BASQUIAT), oil on canvas, 30 x 40 ins.
\nand to the right:
\nNOAH BECKER, ‘Self Portrait #2’, oil on canvas. 24 x 30 in.<\/p>\n

he does kinda play the genre, like a musical instrument. riffing, and borrowing, but keeping himself, front and center. in a nice tension of .. reality meets ‘fluidity’. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nfrom left .. against the backdrop of NOAH BECKER’S more ‘fictional’ portraits on the facing wall,
\nTHE LODGE GALLERY Co-Founder\/Directors:
\nKEITH SCHWEITZER and JASON PATRICK VOEGELR.<\/p>\n

KEITH SCHWEITZER is also the Director of Public Art, Fourth Arts Block \/ FABnyc.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nTHE LODGE GALLERY is a new presence on the Lower East Side, I believe this is only their second show.
\nENVOY Gallery, which moved on to a bigger space, was the former inhabitant.<\/p>\n

. . but LODGE has something that probably makes it a game changer, just beyond that discreet door at the back of the exhibition space.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nwhere we found artist BILLY SULLIVAN, who shows at BARTOLOMI, <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nand that would be a full, and rather gorgeous, clubby bar !! <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nyep, “lodge” is a good name.
\nthey seem to want to make this .. the place – to come relax, and hang out. and why, not !! <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nwhen the other galleries close at 6, this place .. goes on thru 10 PM.<\/p>\n
