ERICA ALLEN is on fire!

One of my good friends from graduate school, Erica Allen, has been getting much-deserved attention and exhibitions for her Untitled Gentlemen series. I feel quite proud, as I first curated Erica while were still in school at SVA in two shows at the Broadway Gallery downtown. Currently Erica has work up at both Melanie Flood Projects in Brooklyn and at the Camera Club of New York in Manhattan (additionally, you can bid on her work at the Camera Club's auction in December). If you can, go on by and see her fabulous, intense, vividly hued portraits, created by combing appropriated portraits and backgrounds in a painterly and meticulous fashion.
