Imagine the mind as a physical space that a visitor could tour! That is what curator Sophie Flack proposed to Fountain House artists. “Inside My Mind” presents the visions of over two dozen artists, as they invite us into their inner minds. With styles ranging from subtly realistic to wildly abstract, “Inside My Mind” provokes and delights.
The image featured above, Metatron, was fashioned with mixed media on paper by Brooklyn-based Michael Kronenberg. Several more images of artworks showcased in “Inside My Miind” follow:
The wonderfully talented Miguel Colón, “Self Portrait at 52,” Flashe on canvas
The hugely inventive Bryan Greene, “Lost in Yonkers,” Gouache on paper
Self-taught artist Nicolaus J. Myers, “Spooning Water From a Broken Vessel,” Acrylic and reflective adhesive
Queens-based multidisciplinary artist Susan Spangenberg, “Out Of My Head Doll,” Fabric, fabric paint, buttons, zipper, polyester stuffing, canvas, marker and pencil armature (hand-sewn)
The distinctly raw vision of Anthony Newton, “The Cerebral Cathedral,” Oil pigment on pre-stretched canvas
The wonderfully creative Angela Rogers, “The Mother,’ Wire, yarn, nails, rusty charms, white paint & jewelry
