I spoke with Wade Kavanaugh in depth about his art and he also spoke to me about what he thinks to the Search Engine Optimization work I do.

Wade’s art is conceptual and pretty good, it’s happening - I think if I were talking to him often he’d really give me a hard time about the Search and Painting work (which I’d rent space to re-explore).  With some people art is more than an activity, it’s a belief system.  

 Jaclyn Mednicov is a cosmetics artist during the day and a painter the rest to the time.

I especially liked a painting that I don’t have an image of - it reminded me of Botero and there’s a surreal aspect - what’s hidden (behind a wall, behind a curtin, etc). Jaclyn was also very nice to talk with.

I also spoke with Lisa Weber; I tend to write only about artists that I actually speak with and can show examples of their work.   If I saw their work and did not connect with  it, I don’t review it.  I liked Lisa’s illustrations.  When I was going to art school I distinguished between illustration and painting and it was more important in the 1970’s and early 80’s.   But not the distinctions between illustration and painting are blurred.

Lisa K. Weber’s work looks as if they are parts of the cells of an animation - and it turns out  she did work in an animation studio at some point in her life - but she’s also developed her paintings beyound what they might have been if it were part of an animation.

I’ll finish up my review the MadArts Studio Opening in MadArts Studio Opening - Brooklyn NY -Part 3 while I already reviewed some of the MadArts artists in  MadArts Studio Opening - Brooklyn NY -Part 1
