Winnie Truong's larger-than-life portraits feature a drawn cast of characters displayed in all their hairy, heroic, glassy-eyed, gap-toothed glory. Executed with pencil crayon on paper, this work generates a dialogue on the beautiful and the beastly amidst contemporary concerns of the continued relevance of figurative art and portraiture, hyperrealist sculpture, and the impact of hair ornamentation.

We are excited and overwhelmed by our success during Armory week in New York!
For our inaugural year at Volta we exhibited the paintings, drawings and photographs of the legendary underground filmmaker George Kuchar.
For our inaugural year at Volta we exhibited the paintings, drawings and photographs of the legendary underground filmmaker George Kuchar.
The response at the fair was incredible--long time fans were excited to see photographs and paintings by their favorite filmmaker, and others were introduced to Kuchar for the first time.

During the art fair, and continuing to pop up on the internet are quite a few glowing reviews of Kuchar's work at the ADA Gallery booth in the press.
Paddy Johnson of Art Fag City awarded us the Golden Fag Award, saying "Who had the best all round booth at this year’s New York fairs? With so many fairs it’s not hard to name just one: ADA’s George Kuchar booth at VOLTA. ADA’s Kuchar easily clinches this year’s award for exposing art fair viewers to one of the most under appreciated, yet widely influential artists of his time."
Additionally, Art Info wrote two separate pieces highlighting George's work at Volta, naming our booth the "most notable" in the fair.
Other mentions are on Art News Worldwide, Every Person in New York, NYCgo.com, Fanzine, and the San Francisco-based art publication Fecal Face, among others.
Also, if you missed George Kuchar in conversation with critic and curator Ed Halter in the "talks lounge" at Volta, here's another chance! This lively talk was sponsored by the Armory Show and ADA Gallery. The video starts out after the crowd has just watched "I, An Actress."
The video smooths out after a few minutes, so keep watching. George as usual was hilarious and had a great time. Hear about his alien encounter!

Mark Batty Publisher's second installment of the Revelations series pairs Michael Caines with the Book of Revelation. Stunningly imagined and masterfully executed artwork populates this graphic story of end times with cute dogs, lions with snake tongues and beasts morphed from contemporary political figures like Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh, and Kim Jong Il.

Jared Clark’s varied and idiosyncratic art practice encompasses sculpture, drawing, collage and video, playfully transgressing the boundaries between these modes of production. While the act of making is performed explicitly in Clark’s time-based work, there is a lingering suggestion of performance threaded throughout his oeuvre.
Clark’s ‘bilds’ are constructed from materials that are both familiar and odd - cutting boards, luggage, soap, craft paintings, ceramic figurines, map pins, painted rocks, Styrofoam, fruit, and glass - and appear to be simultaneously carefully constructed, balanced and casual. Whether fixed in place with adhesives, or stacked between trees, there is a sense that these structures are provisional, a pause in an ongoing, mutating, stream of creation. Clark approaches history as a material, and much like the objects he picks up and manipulates, it is transformed through his deft touch. His elegant mash-up of minimalism, action painting and pop art shows a striking grasp of color and form, and his delight in materiality is conveyed equally through his use of natural substances, manufactured objects, the old and the new.
Clark’s sculptures and wall pieces are like small islands, gatherings of ceramic figurines and other thrift-store objects huddled together. The poured resin joining them serves as both base and picture plane, confounding our expectations of front and back, or top and bottom. Through his work, Clark pokes at our assumptions, encouraging us to reconsider both art history and the everyday. His actions, and the objects that he offers, are a liberating force that are sure to delight as he invites us to consider how the world can be remade.

Artist George Kuchar's remarkable oeuvre of over 200 films and videos holds a unique place in 20th century cinema. Theorist Gene Youngblood named him one of the great artists in the history of the moving image, and he is admired by many notable filmmakers including Todd Solondz, Gus Van Sant, David Lynch, and Brian De Palma. John Waters considers Kuchar and his brother Mike to be his biggest influence, "more than Kenneth Anger or The Wizard of Oz".Kuchar's "Hold Me While I'm Naked", ranked one of 100 Best Films of the 20th Century by the Village Voice, continues to delight with its mixture of good-natured vulgarity and tawdry humor. His equally impressive graphic work reflects his involvement in the underground comic scene of the 1970's, where he rubbed shoulders with Art Spiegelman, Bill Griffith and Robert Crumb, publishing in the infamousunderground comic "Arcade".
George Kuchar's films and videos have been recognized through countless awards and grants, including The National Endowment for the Arts, The Eureka Fellowship Program, and a Ford Foundation Fellowship from United States Artists. He is the recipient of the prestigious Maya Deren Award for Independent Film and Video Artists from the American Film Institute, and the Los Angeles Film Critics Award for Independent/Experimental Film and Video. His most recent, major work, "Secrets of the Shadow World" received full funding from the Rockefeller Foundation. Kuchar's work has screened around the globe in cinemas, festivals, and major museums, including The Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Pompidou Center in Paris.George Kuchar is represented by ADA GALLERY & Mulherin Pollard Projects.
