Friend infiltration of art: extraordinary art the Covert Street

Ian Joseph's self portrait.

Undercover art lover is a bi-weekly column highlighting unexpected art or places.

There is more than this infiltration.

At the corner of Broadway and Covert Street (you cannot it), on the third floor of a building with apartments, seat of the take a look see Fine Art Gallery it has no signs, no mailbox, and although their website claims that they have regular hours of weekend, if you want to see the work box you better call in advance.

When Galerist Ian Joseph you leads to three floors of the residential building and opens the door to a modest space but well used, it is clear that this is not your typical experience of the gallery.

For the last month, photographs and acrylic paintings by the artist Chris McCardell occupied the main room to take a Look See and work definitely has its strengths.

McCardell photos (especially all reversed negative) present a concise composition and razor focused. However, this is not the main reason to hike this far from Bushwick - Look See lies a J Halsey - where a few galleries dare tread block.

In fact, it is work of Joseph benefits.His photographs are immediately stop.

Two parts that are currently up at the gallery are a series entitled "Heaven And Hell" was recently exposed to Christie.Ils auction house are two partially draped figures, disturbing images - search.According to the artist, is the point of the series - which often terrifying things is not as strange or horrific they seem.Photos strike a digitally manipulated as delicate balance works who feel always at hand.

In what is perhaps more strong piece of Joseph, a 28-inch-by-48-inch on called canvas print "this is me (Self Portrait)", repeated image gives the appearance of a Warhol, but with all added quality prints hers.Muted colors and images almost resembling video games artist has a soothing, child quality.

Paintings Joseph are considerable promise, especially abstract view room; a tribute to the expressionist painter abstract, Joan Mitchell.

Nicely, Joseph bears influences on his manche.Il there postcards of works by Mitchell and Jean-Michel Basquiat suspended in the small Hall of the gallery which houses his travail.Bien this section to take a Look See is barely big enough for five persons to remain standing in comfortably, Joseph has plans to mount a solo in the galerie.Toutefois main room show, even this small collection is something to see.
