current issue Vellum Issue #5 is the painter’s edition. Cover artist Carter Davis takes you into a strange realm of beauty and empathy. His poetic pictures show a rare natural talent, and why I chose his painterly marks to represent the current issue. While Dean Monogenis and Elizabeth Huey embody the current crop of young painters showing in Chelsea; one explores psychological spaces, the other, breaks down the treatment of insanity. And although he’s not doing much painting these days, Kurt Lightner’s latest 3D piece at Socrates Sculpture Park in Long Island City continuing his family’s poignant narrative is reviewed. The new issue is a testament to painting one of the oldest and most sought after art forms known to man.
