David Goodman “New Painting” @ 162 W 21st St #3N, 7-9pm
Goodman is an alchemist of paper: cutting, collaging, marking and taping disparate elements with the intensity of a couture dress, resulting in energetic, archeological landscapes that respire with his movements in life. Writer/curator Saul Ostrow presents a suite of new large-scale works by the local artist.

I’ve been a fan of David Goodman’s art since I first visited his studio and he pulled out box after box and portfolio after portfolio of strange, fragile work — artistic contraptions that he worries over, reconfiguring them and rehashing them until the ignition turns and the engine rumbles to life. There are sculptures made of smashed green souvenirs of the Statue of Liberty, grotesque yet satisfyingly hefty. There are photographs of artworks found curbside, in a puddle or against a scarred “post no bills” sign. And there are drawings and paintings that he executes on paper, tearing the sheets and pinning them back together in quilt-like compositions that stand in for New York City’s streets, sometimes stained, sometimes graffitied, sometimes etched hard and obsessively with a pencil for a corduroy effect. Now his most recent paintings will be displayed in a show curated by BOMB Magazine art editor Saul Ostrow. Expect to see the artist fussing over the pieces even after they’re hung, closing in on his own idiosyncratic visual harmony.
