Anthony Meier Fine Arts: Jeremy Dickinson - New Paintings.

Comment by AB: London artist Jeremy Dickinson's finely detailed small format paintings of vintage toy vehicles reference not only his personal collection, but also childhood play and in particular, the rudimentary drawings of his young son Nico. Added to that, his portrayals of the trucks and cars as worn, stacked, useless, disposable and abandoned give you even more to think about. Good show.

McKinley Art Solutions at Hotel Triton: Beautiful Safety - Casey Koerner.

Review by RWM: Interesting paintings by Casey Koerner present the animal familiar as animal guide, seeming also to provide spiritual guidance. These are birds of prey-- eagles and owls. City birds like pigeons and English Sparrows do not always play such roles, but in some parts of town they are wholesome nonetheless. Koerner's uneasy and unconventional use of color will surprise, pulling your eyes all over the canvas, these magical colors of an unexpected and unknowable kind.
