CONTEMPORARY ~LANDSCAPE PAINTERS: PAT PERRY, COLIN BRANT, BARRY MCGLASHAN

Perry’s paintings feel lived in an intense way. He has a Hopper thing going on if you replaced memories of a different America with nostalgia for your walk home last Sunday. Bradt makes these fantastical scenes and landscapes that actually feel magical more than they reference anything impossible. McGlashan paints nearly abstract scenes and realist ones with the same personality— they all feel loose and effortless and romantic.

Michael St. John “These Days” at Pio Pico

If there were a gun to my head pointed by an assailant who demanded that I describe the feeling of living in the USA using only pictures (hey, this is my unreal conditional—worry about your own), I’d simply point them in the direction of Michael St. John’s “Portraits of Democracy,” which are currently on view as “These Days” at Pio Pico gallery in LA (now extended thru Jan. 1). St. John is probably your favorite artist’s favorite artist: a lifelong student of the aesthetic form who cares more about the Big Issues than making big paintings just because that’s what someone said collectors want. He’s also a preternaturally gifted painter (by practice, no less!) whose every choice involves the deliberate reproduction of the very tension that makes life in 2020 one nonstop “Party in the U.S.A.” if you know what I mean. If you’re gonna look at art, why bother with anything you couldn’t spend your whole afternoon uncovering the intricacies of, anyway? Viewings are by appointment only, but don’t let that intimidate you—it’s literally a phone call, prolly even a DM away.

DRIVE TO THE SEA. CURE YOURSELF.

Be like a woman diagnosed with hysteria in the 18th century. Visit the sea and let it restore your spirit. Drove to the Nubble Lighthouse at 6 in the morning. I brought my journal and wrote two pages sitting on rocks and breathing in the salty air. I feel awake, alive, free, and ready for the rest of the day. Don’t underestimate the healing power of Mother Nature. She is here for us when we treat her with love.

TAKE PICTURES IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD

or if you don’t live in a neighborhood, just take pics close to wherever you live. Get different angles, look at the things around you in a new light, see your place like it’s the first time. What excites you? What do you notice that you hadn’t seen before? Take time with the mundane and allow it to surprise and inspire you.
