Trek on over to Williamsburg to take a look at Sideshow Gallery's newest pieces by Dana Gordon and John Mendelsohn. Both active on the New York art scene since the 1970s, the two artists' abstract styles share in the same tradition while nevertheless remaining completely unique. Indeed, while patterns emerge from Gordon's quilt-like color blocks paintings, Mendelsohn's acrylic pieces appear as a series of slits across a more muted diagonal surface. While Gordon focuses on the geometric, Mendelsohn explores spatial movement. However different (and abstract), both collections are definitely worth the trip to Brooklyn.
