Robert Mielenhausen – Viridian Artists.

On this gallery visit their are many young artists on display modern sculpture and all sorts of material being used.  There is one which I loved and I have filed the technique for evaluation at a lager date.  It is a series by

Robert Milelenhausen of bikes around NYC.  Old bikes tied to various lamp posts railings.  There are a few things that stuck out to me.  The mixed media of painting and photo where it is hard to tell where one begins and the other ends however very effective.  I was lucky enough to meet the artist while I was there and he explained to me how each picture was on the back of an old wooden door.  It was interesting how such a simple subject was portrayed in I would say a romantic light.  Each bike makes you think of who owns it.  Where have the taken it to.  Are they visiting a friend a love and the bike remains faithfully outside.  Many of them are old bikes and have had other owners they have stories to tell.  I liked the titles  “Lingering thoughts” and “New Morning” for example they already make us think.

See what you think for yourself.  The gallery is at 548 west 28th street NYC
