Fall Editon Release 2009

Devin Powers

"Things Keep Their Secrets"

Elwa is pleased to present our new edition from artist Devin Powers:

Devin Powers, Things Keep Their Secrets, 22" x 30", one-color silkscreen on black paper, 2009

Note to the viewer:

This silkscreen is one of an edition of 30. The image comes from a drawing made using a straightedge and a paint pen on black printmaking paper. The title of the drawing and subsequent prints, “Things keep their secrets,” is taken from Heraclitus’ Fragments. Each print is signed and numbered by the artist.

Elwa is excited to present these works to the public for this holiday season. more info

Aymar is an artist that Elwa has worked with many times in the past. We are happy to be a sponsor and supporter of this show. After a couple long years with his family in Peru, Aymar has returned with work that will certainly be exciting. While in Peru, Aymar has intensely studied and practiced the indigenous weaving traditions of various South American cultures.

In this new body of work, Aymar is combing the past and present, using found trash and plastic to create intricately woven pieces. Along with these will be a new series of paintings.

The show will be up for a week, but the opening is this Saturday, the 7th. Hope to see you there.

ABCyz Opening Pics and Comments

We are happy to report that the ABCyz opening was a great success. A tremendous turnout, all kinds of art, a couple bands, a bunch of performances, and a boat of beer. There was a wide range of work displayed, making it a great survey of new endeavors taking place throughout NYC.


There were about 40 collectives/groups involved in the show so it is hard to give a quick rundown of all the undertakings, but some highlights include: a group piece from the Eyelevel BQE team, a "day in the life" large scale drawing from the said group, a fantastic miniature collage from Norte Maar, and of course our newest artist Carl Eckoff.

The show is open until Nov. 7th, and it is worth the trip. A genuine art space with great rooftop views right in the heart of Manhattan.
