The Urban Rush 11/10 - 11/17

I would like to start this off with the sincerest of apologies. October was a rather hectic month and between my many projects and my trip to New York I was just swamped. The good news is that I have come back to earth and am ready to devote my life to the urban rush.

A master of the brush Gail Potocki lures her audience like a siren to the cliffs. Her work overtly plays with metaphors of female seduction and the sin of the flesh. With classical composition it may be difficult to tell that her crashing waves and innocent looking figures could be so deviant, but I guarantee the longer you look, the further you get swept out to sea.
