Michael Alan reviewed in Razor Apple

"You would be right to call Michael Alan a prolific artist. He’s working hard to make his mark and when he’s not busy in his studio, he’s leading Draw-a-thon, a weekly figure drawing session. Unlike the staid model sessions of art schools everywhere, Michael and his crew of models, actors and musicians don’t just sit their like pieces of meat. They interact and perform for your drawing pleasure. For nine hours. This work ethic is a holdover from the days and long nights he painted New York City as the graffiti artist FADE. Though his studio art shares little style with his graffiti, it continues to challenge New Yorkers to escape the ordinary. Recently Michael took a minute to tell us about “Draw-a-thing,” his solo show opening tomorrow at McCaig & Welles Gallery in Williamsburg." (Read more...)

GO BROOKLYN INTERVIEW

GO Brooklyn’s Chris Varmus sat down with local artist Greg Lindquist, whose exhibition "To Brooklyn" is currently on display at McCaig-Welles Gallery in Williamsburg, to discuss the show, his influences and his take on what’s happening in Brooklyn. (Read more...)

BROOKLYN PAPER REVIEW

"The paintings in 'To Brooklyn,' his current exhibition, attempt to aesthetically document the ebb and flow of development on Williamsburg’s waterfront...starkly depicting the dilapidated buildings that line Kent Avenue and the shiny high rises that are sprouting up between them." (Read more...)

THE NY OBSERVER REVIEW

Mr. Lindquist’s scenes bring to mind Giorgio Morandi’s quietude, Fairfield Porter’s facture and, buried under the junk, Giorgio de Chirico’s creeping sense of anomie. Even if he doesn’t achieve those heights, his art doesn’t suffer from the comparisons. If anything, they’re powered by them. This is a deeply felt and promising debut. (Read more...)

MCCAIG-WELLES IN JUXTAPOZ MAGAZINE

Article and Photos

Photos from Fountain; Brooklyn art galleries set up an independent, experimental, mini art fair across from The Armory in NYC. Capla Kesting Fine Art, Front Room Gallery, and McCaig-Welles Gallery came together to put on Fountain.

Three of Williamsburg’s most brash and cutting-edge galleries, Capla Kesting, Front Room, and McCaig-Wells collaborated to mount "Fountain", their own "Salon de Refuse." They selected a spacious street level special-event hall across Twelfth Avenue from Pier 90 in direct confrontation with, and running for the entire duration of the Armory Show. Our NYC correspondent Maia Lemur went to the show and brought back some photos.
