ART IS FASHION

The Debbie Dickinson Gallery took its new works that is “Esthetique” to open at Arthouse Hotel on the Upper West Side of Manhattan Wednesday night here in New York City. Debbie found a more than perfect way to kick off New York Fashion Week by tapping into art’s muse, fashion. This warm and inviting space separated from the robust Arthouse Hotel lobby takes you in to be excited on what art can be. Forget about the conventional observation of paintings, art is not a set interpretation. Art is about taking your own thought of what you see, and expanding to great possibilities from there.

Debbie Dickinson recruited a talented lineup with “Esthetique” that includes Bill Buchman with “Good Morning, World” where acrylics on paper lay out a new day of possibilities. Eddy Ochieng brings oil on canvas with “Grace Like Rain” as you stand tall in the midst of adversity. Mary Reid takes her delightful use of oil on linen with “Zephyrus”, and “Three Graces” who capture the beauty of women in their soft and empowering state. Audrey Schilt jumps in the “Esthestique” with her acrylics of “Velvet & Flame” as we see a woman in charge of a bold destiny where no one can judge her harshly. S.L. Fuller wants you to know who her girls are, “Daphne” for one is barefoot, but she’s got the India Ink showing off she’s best dressed.

Helene Guétary brought bold art on print with “Pink Mali”, “Chetan & Rim Jin”, and “Flower Dancer” that colorfully brings to life ethnicity in 3 dimensional form. Christopher Von Hohenberg also takes on print with a fine art photograph of “Concorde” with stewardess proudly using their beauty along the skies and wall that modeled an airplane, taking you back to the glory of Pan-Am. Peggy Bates heavily is on canvas with acrylic polymers as works like “Parallel Grove” forces you to go deep into other worlds whether they’re enlightening or in a dark place. Noah Becker has a fine love for hats, and encourages you to take up a hat trend with “Yellow Hats” and “Two Figures In Hats” no matter the color. Anthony Haden-Guest takes wonderful quotes calling out the ills of society by using markers on print board with works such as “Yves Saint Laurent”, “Frieda Kahlo” ridiculing tragedy, and “Jean Cocteau” telling you to cultivate other people’s criticism of you. And Marc Bouwer takes his oil on canvas works to point out your deviations with “Eyes See You”, “I Know What You Did”, and “Look What You Did”.

CONCLUSION

Stepping into Debbie Dickinson Gallery’s “Esthetique”, you don’t have to come in with a fixed notion of observing an art gallery. All you have to do is come in and see, then have your thoughts be transformed into your own muse interpretation of this wonderful work seen here. Bill Buchman, part of “Esthetique” gave a concrete notion of what art truly is, it’s how you see art, not how a so-called art school sees it, which one of his professors confessed when Bill went to school. As Bill Buchman sees abstract art still a very young art form, which we’ve yet to uncover more discoveries along the way, we all start in a fixed notion somewhere. And then finally, after years of studying with discovery, we empty out the fixed ideas as we begin to see art in another way. You have to take art not through someone else’s eyes, but your own eyes.
