Follow our Uncovering the Uncanny Route Guide to hit all the ethereal, sometimes spooky, artwork highlights Affordable Art Fair NYC Fall.
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.
The Uncovering the Uncanny Route Guide is perfect for you if you’re bored to death by the mundane and electrified by the abnormal. You seek treasures for your cabinet of curiosities.
Take this route through the fair if you want to explore all the must-see artists who, like you, don’t conform to the norm.
Plus, see them all together in this virtual exhibition created by ArtPlacer.
We have no idea what’s going on here, which makes Alida Anderson Art Projects the best place to start the Uncovering the Uncanny route. If you like your art to ignite conversation, you’ll be comfortably at home here.
Cristina Vergano understands the uncanny assignment. As though plucked straight from a cabinet of curiosity, this all-seeing eye, strong eyebrow game aside, is deliciously creepy.
Steeped in street art tradition, your third stop takes you straight into the jaws of Lurie Gallery and the work of Justin Lyons. Take this as your sign to take the art-buying plunge.
Susan Richman uses photography to explore the connections between existence, decay and loss. Sometimes, this features uncannily beautiful floral displays, other times you’ll find taxidermy woodland creatures, from rabbits to hawks. The results are dark and twisted in the best possible way.
Susan Richman, “Free Falling”, 2022, Photography, 37x53x2, $3,500, Upstream Gallery
The more you look at Iqi Qoror’s paintings, the more surreal they get. Or, perhaps “Statement On The Stream” is just a prediction of how we’ll be living when all the ice caps melt.
Don’t miss a trip into his surrealist world at Artspace Warehouse‘s booth, just across the aisle from Upstream Gallery.
Definitely something fishy going on here.
Devon Grimes’ painting style is a real eye catcher and is certain to reel you in at the end of aisle D. She’s got us hook, line, and sinker with this one.
Devon Grimes, “Ruby Goes to the Fish Market”, 2023, 18x24in, Acrylic & Oil Pastel on Canvas, $2200, Garcia Studio
Xavi Carbonell’s work could keep you busy for hours as you uncover all the intricate detail in his street-art adjacent mixed media pieces. Find his paintings at Art Angler‘s booth to immerse yourself in his sprawling cartoonish faces, devilish eyes, and undead figures.
Don’t lose your head over Marie-Chloe Duval’s uncanny portraiture at Galerie L’Atelier‘s booth.
This is also an accurate representation of how we feel when someone tries to explain anything to do with science.
Marie-Chloe Duval, “Overthink, This Is Freeing”, 2024, Oil On Canvas, 60x44in, $5800, Galerie L’Atelier
Swing by TAG Fine Arts on your way back to the stairs/elevator for Gary James McQueen’s – nephew of Alexander McQueen – floral, gothic skulls made using the lenticular printing method.
In keeping with the Vanitas style of your previous stop, head to the first floor for similar inspiration of the undead kind. Mixed with influence from 8th century Kusozu painting, Gallery G-77 will present Hiroko Shiina’s ethereal prints to conclude your Uncovering the Uncanny tour.
Now you’ve Uncovered the Uncanny, it’s likely time to mull over your art-buying decisions at our café, located super close to your final stop at Gallery G-77.
We’d love to see you at Affordable Art Fair New York Fall 2024. Grab your tickets to join us there.
