1. Emmanuelle G. Contemporary, C8

Purveyors of precision, get yourselves to Emmanuelle G. Contemporary (C8) to begin your Aesthetic Eye route through the fair. We’re starting with Parvaze & Mayer, a talented chain stitch artist from Kashmir, who creates beautifully refined textile wall art. The stitches are intricate and honor Kashmiri craftsmanship. If you love the art in your home to ooze with a sense of its complex process and an appreciation for Masters like Miro, then these works are a must-see.

2. Agora Gallery, E15

Peace and chaos combine on Mark Schiff’s canvases. His works will work wonderfully for completing a home, especially if you’re on the lookout for a sense of easy abstraction that can be moved around based on your mood and evolving decor decisions. You’ll want to get up close and personal with these Pollock-like pieces, so definitely give Agora Gallery a visit at stand E15.

3. Greenstage Gallery, B4

Peaceful and restorative, take a moment of quiet amongst the buzz of the fair with Greenstage Gallery (B4) who will be presenting Beth Richardson’s pastelized palettes. Blocky backgrounds make for interior focal points that will really pull the details of your home decor together.

4. Lustre Contemporary, C7

Fluid lines, graphic shapes, and thoughtful color combinations are the key elements of Mara Minuzzo’s sculptural paintings. Their materiality is a real highlight, and we love the irreproducible nature of those organic metal lines.

5. i le gallery, E6

An Affordable Art Fair favorite, Alex Voinea is recognizable for his spontaneous brushstrokes and neon splashes. Recently, his work has taken a subtler turn, with works such as “avp 1340” utilizing more demure, earthy tones, but still harnessing the sense of freedom and spirit we associate with his expressive style. Definitely stop by i le gallery (E6) to view the full selection of the pieces on offer to find the perfect one to match your home.

6. Marisol Art NYC, D7

One for those with an eye for rustics and and clean, minimalist palettes. Shape is central to Karina Conen, and her work is full of rhythm and poetics. At local gallery Marisol Art NYC’s stand (D7) there’ll be a host of these beautifully calming pieces to explore. They’re all about feeling, so do take a moment to pause and reflect on how the color choices, geometry, balance, and flow speak to you.

7. Lynn Savarese Photography, D18

Lynn Savarese has such a distinctive style of photography, making her work the perfect choice for the Aesthetic Eye route through the fair. Her stand (D18) is an oasis of blue. Restorative and relaxing, these cooling tones can offer an injection of peace into a busy home, as well as bringing a slice of the natural world.

8. Phillip Michaels Art, D11

The work of Phillip Michaels is spontaneous, energetic, and full of life. Every piece tells its own story, with each brushstroke creating layer upon layer of movement. If you find your Aesthetic Eye is drawn to work like this, then head to stand D11, where you’ll be able to explore a range of works to inspire and complement your interior vision.

9. Myta Sayo Gallery, E13

Those excited by abstraction should head to Myta Sayo Gallery (E13) to get a close up look at Kal Mansur’s plexiglass creations. They’ve got a really fresh feel about them, and utilize minimalist traditions alongside color to transport the viewer to another place, whether that be his home of Chittagong or love for Texan desert plains.

10. Quantum contemporary Art, B5

If your Aesthetic Eye leans towards tradition, you might find your perfect piece with Quantum Contemporary Art (B5). Amongst their presentation you’ll be able to discover Vanessa Whitehouse’s serene tree studies throughout the seasons. Often finished with gold leaf or crystals, these studies are all about capturing and emphasizing the light.
