Message from Stuart Yankell
In October and November of 2008, I worked on location in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I had the opportunity to paint live dancers in the Plaza Dorrego in the sunlight and to draw and photograph dozens of Milongas (Tango clubs) throughout the city by night. Having started over 50 original drawings and paintings as well as thousands of digital images, the trip has revealed a new understanding of the depth and richness of the Tango tradition. Many of the completed works can now be viewed on my site (click on the title) in the Buenos Aires Collection as well as the Available Works sections.

Wishing you a joyous 2009 with much health and success!

You are so lucky that you had the chance to see Argentina, and especially because you were doing something you loved, like painting. Plaza Dorrego seems like a nice, quiet place to do your job. I had buenos aires apartments near that square and I would go every afternoon to take a nap and listen to the lovely birds that talked to each other. Nobody bothers you there, in fact, there are many people doing the same thing!

RED HOOK ? NEW YORK ? read this email sent by KENTLER INTERNATIONAL DRAWING SPACE Robert Aitchison STATE OF EMERGENCY: PORTRAITS FROM THE PANDEMIC November 6 - December 12, 2021 Join us for the Opening Reception: Saturday, November 6, 4-6pm Artist's Talk: December 5, 4pm (Proof of Vaccine & Masks Required, observing pandemic precautions) Kentler International Drawing Space is pleased to present State of Emergency: Portraits from the Pandemic, a solo exhibition of new work on paper by Brooklyn-based artist Robert Aitchison. This body of work explores complex notions of presence, engagement and isolation in the era of Covid. Beginning in March 2020, Aitchison utilized video chat platforms to make hundreds of sketches of close friends. The resulting portrait series is at once vibrant and introspective. His subjects are jarringly foregrounded and many present with duplicate or askew facial features. These distortions mirror the glitchy, interrupted and delayed experienc...
