“American Girls”
 Ilona Szwarc


Foley Gallery, 97 Allen St., NYC

“The American Girls doll series speak to the ideals, dreams and opportunities liberating young American girls helping to define them as young women. “

a classically stylized portraiture series identifying varied juvenile personalities across our country. Young girls are accompanied by a customized version of themselves, a modern ‘American Girl’ doll shown helping them along in their early growth. The relationship between the girls and their dolls embellish privileges of first-world childhood while addressing problems in euro-centric gender ideology. The feminist values inherent to Szwarc’s work draw from the source of what contributes to shaping a young woman’s virtues while celebrating the history of being a young lady growing up today, and the performativity American culture encourages. - thru July 3

Closing May 25:

“Between Silver Light and Orange Shadow”
 Elena Sisto

Lori Bookstein Gallery, 138 Tenth Ave., NYC (bt W18th & W19th St)

For the last three years, Elena Sisto’s paintings have explored the formative years of young women artists. Three-quarter profiles of women against the backdrop of the studio or partially hidden behind the canvas provide a portal into the psychology of a unique cast of characters. Though certainly abstracted into cartoonish guises, Sisto’s figures still maintain unique personalities and dispositions that hint at the possibility of narrative. The most recent paintings show an increasingly tighter cropping of the picture plane.
