Oil paintings by Jim Damron
Fellow travelers.
We are incredibly excited to present our upcoming exhibition Wild America, from West Coast artist and longtime friend Jim Damron. In this show Jim will be exhibiting oil paintings of landscapes and portraits portraying awkward situations and improbable moments both historical and fantastic. His interest in 80's pop culture and dystopia brings forth a narrative created with a talented hand and a joyful sense of humor. These special moments are snapshots of uncaged Americana, referencing big oil and the T-rex, Sanford and Son to Chrissy Snow. They are a collected imagination of a nation. They are Wild America.
There will be an opening on Thuirsday May 24th at 7pm.
We will offer live music, mixed signature cocktails (compliments of Tito's Vodka) as well as flights throughout the night of our staff curated appetizers and small bites.
Please join us... and yes, Jim will be here as well. Meet the mythical man himself...
Jim Damron was born in Alabama in 1965 and raised in rural northern Illinois. He finished high school in Modesto, California and became interested in making art after a few years of studying agriculture at Cal Poly state University in San Luis Obispo, CA. I the early 90"s Jim moved to Manhattans iconic lower east side in the hey day of the arts and music scene surrounding venues such as Max Fish and the Pink Pony. He shortly became a fixture in the NYC downtown lexicon making paintings and showing work through out the neighborhood.
Jim now lives and paints in Merced, CA with his girlfriend and their 3 cats.

Wolfy Part II
Nha Minh is pleased to present the exhibition, "A Home Course, We'll pretend we're walking home, 'cause our futures at stake", from Jef Scharf aka Wolfy Part II. Jef will be showcasing an impressively large work on paper, 9" X 16" ,as well as smaller works on panel. Currently on view until January 24th, 2017.
The drawing is a correspondence course of my own design in history, season, thought and culture structured from my daily ramblings of sketching. A course home is often lost in thought and distraction but how does it appear when transformed to a grand scale and looked at in years not minutes. It becomes a refection of our house, an alchemical selfe, an instant hit of revelation in the historic journey of the Palisades, the Hudson River Valley and our republic. “... just start drawing skulls whenever you don't know what to draw”

…………….
New York-based cartoonist and teacher Josh Bayer’s aggressive, ambitious comics can, at first glance, appear to be made up on the spot. Raw Power, Rom, and his frantic contributions to his anthology Suspect Device embrace a “first thought best thought” style of writing and a decidedly nervous and energetic line that creeps off the page, like it cannot be contained. It is dense, overwhelming work. Stare hard enough at any given panel and what looks like smudged scribbles give way to figures with real dimension and thickness. You get a real sense of process, like you're looking at both the blueprints and the finished project all once. His often brilliant Raw Power feels like the pinnacle of his style, a comic beamed from the past, a rough-edged 1970s underground experiment in modern storytelling and craft.
The series Raw Power is about a vigilante G. Gordon Liddy-inspired anti hero who beats up punk rockers and who is revealed to be a knucklehead cog in a major label conspiracy to make sure punk doesn’t foment a revolution like rock n’ roll did in the sixties . It is an excellent example of a high-concept comic book conceit seen through to its logical, nutty end. And his “cover comic” Rom recreates, panel-by-panel, stories from the Marvel space-knight book from the eighties, locating the still vital energy of this work, while also shaking off its relatively square and mainstream-courting tics. It’s the difference between say, the Kingsmen’s mealy-mouthed though radio-friendly version of “Louie Louie”, and say, Black Flag’s grinding, raucous reinterpretation.
In Suspect Device series Bayer is acting as editor and contributing artist. He just released Suspect Device #4 (Pettibon did the cover). It features notable cartoonists taking the first and last panels of important comic strips and filling the middle bits with their own rowdy stories. Past issues of SD have rips on Garfield, Nancy and Popeye. In addition, this issue features appearances from The Phantom, Annie, Popeye, an Alley Oop Comic from 1962, as well as characters from a book on Russian prison tattoos. It’s a fascinating experiment, and it continues to yield great results.
Josh Bayer began his underground comics practice in 1988, appearing in zines and in small shows. Since then, his work has appeared in print, video, posters, and exhibitions all over the world. He is currently teaching comics and drawing classes at the 92st Y, Parsons and the Educational Alliance.

Beth Perkins grew up in Texas and moved to New York City after college in 1992. Soon after moving, she embraced the photography world, initially working as a photo assistant and custom color film printer while shooting and finding her eye. Her distinguishing imagery, and ability to capture truthful and intimate moments, quickly led to her success as a commercial photographer. Her list of commercial and editorial clients range from Newsweek, Glamour, Nike Golf, Travel and Leisure, Wired, and Bank of America to name a few.
Although Beth enjoys her commercial and editorial success, she continues to photograph and be inspired by her surroundings whether traveling, or in her own neighborhood of Rockaway Beach, Queens. One of her images was recently showcased in MOMA’s Rockaway! show last summer.
Electric Beach is a series of images of an annual rave that takes place on a small island in Jamaica Bay that can only be reached by boat. Mr. Bait is a series of images of some of the fishermen and their prize catches from in and around the bay. It is a photographic union of two very different cultures that both exist on Jamaica Bay; hence, the colorful and fun show, Electric Bait. Enjoy!
Nhà Mình is thrilled to present the 'Untitled,' a show of photographs by Enis Sefersah.
Enis studied at the Center for Creative Studies in Detroit Michigan where he received his Bachelor of Fine Arts. Additionally, he completed a residency with AICA New York Studio Residency Program. He has been included in numerous exhibitions within the Untied States and internationally, including being selected to participate in the Whitney Biennial 1995 & 2008. His artistic practice takes many forms, touching in realms of performance, installation and photography. He currently lives and works in Brooklyn, New York.
