NEW YORK, NY – Chelsea’s Agora Gallery will feature the original work of French-based artist David W. Whitfield in Reconstructing Reality. The exhibition opens on November 29, 2014 and continues until December 19, 2014. The opening reception takes place on the evening of December 4, at 6-8pm. Entrance is free and all are warmly welcomed to attend.

David W. Whitfield’s intriguing watercolors expertly use the medium to push the limits of the subject matter and vice versa. Whitfield appears infinitely flexible - he switched to gestural figure painting after many years of creating Surrealist art, and is exploring acrylic as well as working in watercolor. His boundless imagination is very present in his work, which buzzes with images-within-images, free association, and impossibly bright colors. Figures pile up on one another, superimposed like ghosts, each absorbed in their own vignette. They vary wildly in size and can stand on top of each other’s heads. Sometimes they seem to be part of o

The city of Strasbourg, France, also known as the “Capital of Christmas,” is celebrating its own holiday traditions by collaborating with the longest running holiday tree display in New York City.  It is providing dark blue handmade ornaments made of blown glass and ringed with gold lines that were fashioned by the craftsmen of Bethlehem for Strasbourg’s own tree in 1999. They are true works of art and strong symbols of peace.

As part of the overall holiday festivities in Madison Square Park, Deputy Mayor and President of the Greater Strasbourg Tourist Office Jean-Jacques Gsell and Director Patrice Geny will be in New York next Tuesday, December 9^th to represent Strasbourg at the tree lighting ceremony.

If you cannot make it to the lighting ceremony itself, the tree and the stunning Strasbourg ornaments will be on display until December 23. 

40-something-ish Pomme and Pierre, a longtime married couple, are played by two of the best and busiest actors working in France today, Emmanuelle Devos and Mathieu Amalric. They go to chic Lyon art openings and share hikes in the woods. But do they still love each other? Amalric has been called “one of the most reliable – and also one of the least predictable – embodiments of Gallic intellectualism under duress” (A.O. Scott, The New York Times), and Devos “a gifted actress…who has always excelled at playing private, wounded women, perhaps because she refuses to conform to the movies’ one-dimensional ideal of female beauty” (Scott Foundas, Variety). When Pomme decides not to leave the forest with her husband, and instead begins an extended meditation on where her life will go next, we’re left wondering what love and commitment really mean and whether any relationship can successfully navigate decades of the same old same old. As Olivia Harrison (George Harrison’s widow) once said: “Wha
