New York Fall 2024: The Super Naturalist’s Field Guide

Michael DeStefano

Thursday 5 September, 2024

Our Affordable Art Fair New York Fall Route Guides help you navigate the fair with your personal taste in mind to ensure you hit all the highlights.

You should heed the route of the Super Naturalist’s Field Guide if you’re concerned about this earthly realm and enchanted by everything in it. Perhaps you love to see materials resurrected to make beautiful art and you appreciate an unusual medium.

Virtual exhibition powered by ArtPlacer.

Be inspired by a few of our favorite artists in this aesthetic sphere who’s work will be on offer this Fall.

1. Tag Fine Arts, C8

Our first unusual medium comes from Emily Jones, who has created this geometric flowerbed using origami. The paper forms an impression of pixelation while still feeling very peaceful, very complex.

2. Artêria, D22

Zut’s artworks are an NYC favorite, with their whimsical roots in graffiti art. “Faire un tour… dans mes rêves” is painted onto recycled doors, and the joy of this will be infectious for all Super Naturalists.

3. Myta Sayo Gallery, D23

This cityscape is formed from recycled paper maps, which produces a unique texture and masterful depth of shadow.

Rob Farmer’s choice of material is all about nostalgia and sentimentality in an age of Google Maps and GPS. It’s a joy to get close to his artworks at Myta Sayo Gallery and inspect each torn peace for places you might know.

4. Artspace Warehouse, D13

Atticus Adams embodies the tradition of using readily available materials to create tangible artworks full of movement and expression. His sculptures spread across walls, almost coral-like in their various shapes and compositions. Deciphering their origin is all part of the fun, and their earthy inspo make them an ideal statement piece in the home of a Super Naturalist.

5. Amai, D8

Wrong season, right vibe.

“Spring” by Kelly Moeykins, some might say groundbreaking in its seasonal deviance, offers a densely packed, captivating moment of nature appreciation. Her materials range from paper to clay, and this particular artwork celebrates the almost otherworldly sublimity of flowers.

6. ARTMIX, E6

Up the next aisle, you’ll find ARTMIX and the hypnotic mixed media work of Ricardo Arango.

Chiefly made from recycled glass, naturalists with an affinity to water will easily lose themselves in the deep blues and ripple effect.

7. Muriel Guepin Gallery, E13

Get lost in the colors of Alma Prism’s “Blue Green Flow I” at Muriel Guepin Gallery‘s booth, E13.

The closer you look, the more detail you’ll spy in the naturally dyed stacks of wool.

8. Anne Celine Grandury Art, A10

Retrace your steps down aisle E to head up the stairs/elevator to Level 2.

All sorts of materials have been repurposed to create this mixed media piece by Anne Celine Grandury. The nods to urban art makes this the perfect piece for naturalists who could never live more than one minute away from a speciality coffee shop.

Anne Celine Grandury, “New York My Love II”, 2023, mixed media, 36x36in, $4,200, Anne Celine Grandury Art

9. Klompching Gallery, A12

The crumpled paper in Ingrid Weyland’s work (main image) represents the irreversible damage our planet is subjected to. She searches across the world to find landscapes that haven’t yet been corrupted in this way, and views her photography as a method of preservation. In her “Topographies Of Fragility” series, the crumpled paper is the photograph itself, superimposed onto the original to demonstrate her own traces among the landscapes she loves.

Ingrid Weyland, “Topographies Of Fragility XXIII”, 2021, Archival Pigment Print, 39.9×43.4in, edition 7+1ap, $3,250, Klompching Gallery

10. Monogramma, A5

You could say these guys really brush up nicely.

Your last stop is Monogramma, a Rome-based gallery home to Bruno Azzini’s paintbrush figures. Full of texture and shadow, look past what’s on the canvas to be immersed in hues of the sky and sea.
