| Neysa Grassi, Untitled (Florence), 2003, gouache on paper, 9 x 7 1/2 inches |
There are so many shows up right now in Philly that I really want to see or saw and really liked. It doesn't hurt that they are all really good people in addition to being great painters/photographers. Sometimes that feels like a rare combo but this list proves otherwise.
Above is Neysa Grassi, who is having a solo show at Locks Gallery titled Foreign Language. It is works on paper done while traveling and looks to be really beautiful. There is also a show of Jane Irish's work at Locks which closes mid-April.

| Bettina Nelson, "As far as I can tell she's happy" - Mac Demarco, mixed media, 11.5 x 16.5 inches |
 |
| Leigh Werrell, Bus Stop, gouache and graphite on paper, 10.5 x 11 inches |
Opening Friday the 10th at Gross McCleaf is the two person exhibition, A Likely Story, of Leigh Werrell and Bettina Nelson. Somewhere between color and shape, familiar narratives of city living are woven into both these artists' work.

At Cerulean Gallery, Fictitious Pleasures just opened. A two person exhibition of well known Philadelphia painters Bill Scott and Alex Kanevsky. It is a nice, edited pairing which considers the space. Each piece held its own and felt like a world in itself, but it was not overwhelming to take in the whole show slowly. Harmonious color and good, solid painting make for a sort of restrained but chaotic joy. There is an artist talk on Sunday April 19th at 2pm.

Eileen Neff, Talamanca Ridge, 2015, Archival Pigment on Dibond, 13 x 13 3/4 inches |
Another show I need to see is Eileen Neff at Bridgette Mayer Gallery. I have been hearing great things and believe it because Eileen (a former graduate critic of mine) never seems to do anything without intention and complete awareness of her work. Traveling into View is a show of photographs taken while on a residency in Costa Rica.

Amazing pics. I really liked your paintings. Though I am a big fan of Aboriginal Art and have purchased around a dozen but I won’t mind purchasing such lovely pics if those were up in the grabs in right range for me.
Thanks so much Ricardo, I really appreciate that. If you want to be in touch about pricing etc my email is aubreylevinthal@gmail.com Best, Aubrey
How can anybody miss these shows which display such beautiful Abstract Paintings. Thanks for sharing photos and dates of shows.
