<\/a><\/p>\n‘ETHOS BELOW’ – ILLUSTRATION BY . . DINA GADI,
\na young artist from the PHILIPPINES who is represented by a new gallery in Brooklyn . . with a, how fun !! global voice: OWEN JAMES GALLERY.
\nwhere they will be showing Dina’s work this Spring, MAY 2015.<\/p>\n
see: DINA GADIA, hold yer horses, etc<\/a><\/p>\n I’m posting this image because, apart from the nice theoretical, political, cultural, & social resonance – to last Saturday’s MAS PAZ special on artlovers – !! I also think it’s interesting to contrast Dina’s work with Taylor McKimens’ !!<\/strong>. and, go BROOKLYN. BROOKLYN, is so ahead of the curve. and that’s the way – we like it.<\/p>\n OWEN JAMES GALLERY will be showing Dina’s work, along with 3 other young artists from the PHILIPPINES in his booth at the JUSTMAD6 – THE EMERGING ART FAIR<\/strong> – in SPAIN, that happens next week, coinciding with their big ARCO ART FAIR over there – more<\/strong> info on OUR NEXT POST !!<\/p>\n shout out again to CHE MORALES at IMAGE GALLERY<\/strong>for including MAS PAZ in his ‘ARTISTANCE’ show, which you can still catch this week – the show runs thru FRI FEB 27, 2015. <\/p>\n UP-DATE:<\/strong> THE ‘ARTISTANCE’ SHOW HAS BEEN EXTENDED THRU . . FRI MARCH 6, 2015 see: OWEN JAMES GALLERY<\/a> – 61 GREENPOINT AVE, suite 315, GREENPOINT, BROOKLYN. NY<\/p>\n
\nand, of course focused first . . on the great art, visuals, graphics and vision !!
\nI particularly like how diverse cultures, previously quite ignored in the contemporary art world, i.e. South America, Philippines . . are coming up through the cracks, in small venues in BROOKLYN !!
\nand I totally dig, how it’s coming up as ‘cutting edge’, which IT IS – as opposed to being pegged as ‘outsider’ or ‘folk art’.<\/p>\n
\nboth have a comic book retro feel, but that’s where – the line stops !!
\nDINA GADIA vs TAYLOR McKIMENS ?
\nhmmmmm, well Taylor has it up on Dina, come on, be respectful !!
\nhe’s been around a lot longer, and is more of an original expressionist as opposed to Dina’s more quiet, appropriation collage ways, but those ‘hands coming up from the muck’ – of her’s . . are pure gold !! could be a gold mine – over there in Manilla, give or take a few more years !!
\nI mean, Taylor has been cooking<\/strong> in the fires of the underground NYC scene for quite a while, which definite toughens you up, Dina could do well to look at his work. and then . . go her own<\/strong> way – of course. and watch out !!<\/p>\n
\nbecause this global voice – is just so much more real<\/strong> than the big $$$ mainstream galleries who show for example, Chinese contemporary ‘art’ – as they chase the big $$$ Asian art buying market !!<\/p>\n
