Chip Simone Tattoo Back, Worcester, 2010 Archival pigment, printed 2012, edition of 10 11 x 17 inches 009269
I stopped by Steven Kasher Gallery on a whim about two weeks ago during on my recent gallery tours. Lately I’ve been pretty busy creating my own work, so I have not had much time to view the work of my peers and artists whom I look up to. This particular Saturday was much like most of my recent Saturdays, full of work with a small amount of time set aside to get some fresh air. I wandered into Steven Kasher Gallery for what I thought would be a brief 5-10 minute walk through and ended up falling through the looking glass in to a wonderful world of color and arresting imagery created by a talented photographer named Chip Simone.
Mr. Simone’s work is full of life and possess a “weight” that commands your full attention, yet vibrant in a way that pleases the senses and causes the eye to rejoice in the appreciation of texture, color, light and life captured by Mr. Simone’s passionate eye.
I’m no art critic, I just know what I like. In short, the work is a visual feast and a must see in my humble opinion.

Oh and by the way, Christiona the young lady who walked me through the show and shared work by some of the galleries other artists is a wonderful soul. The Steven Kasher Gallery is clearly a space that values great art, good people and creating a welcoming environment in which to view beautiful work by talented artists. I encourage you to visit soon and often. I know I will.
Enjoy.
