Iconomancy: The Magic of Art

by Manish Vora

"I have long been a supporter of The New York Academy of Art, the first graduate school in the US devoted exclusively to figurative art. Through the efforts of President David Kratz and an extremely active board led by arts patron and historian Eileen Guggenheim, the NYAA has gone from a quiet, Tribeca-based school to a major international arts academy. The latest exhibition, titled Iconomancy, features artists like Will Cotton, Tat Ito, Natalie Frank, Amy Bennett, Ali Banisadr, Will Kurtz, and Peter Mühlhäußer. Having never seen this word “iconomancy” before, I turned to the explanation from the curators, Peter Drake, Dean of the Academy, and artist Jean-Pierre Roy: “Each of the artists are deeply invested in understanding the complexities of visual culture and transforming that culture through the alchemy of their own work, and as the title would suggest, there is some magic involved..."  (read more)

SOFIA BACHVAROVA (MFA 2009)

Hoboken Studio Tour artist Bachvarova's work: a dread-locked time warp?

"Sofia Bachvarova's work is ornate, demented, and decadent. 

In Bliss, a headless stone figure is suspended from a rope, which hangs upside down. A stream of gold coins tumbles from its decapitated body. White doves fly heavenward. 

In Venus, a Rubenesque figure stands in a garden overflowing with flowers and tiny beasts. A black apparition hovers in front of the figure's face, which makes identification impossible. In both paintings, Bachvarova alternates between fantasy and reality. 

I recently caught up with Bachvarova as she made some final preparations for the annual Hoboken Artists Studio Tour. Her studio is located on the fifth floor of the Neumann Leathers building..." (read more)
