Preview: Fernando Botero’s “BOTERO” at Gary Nader Gallery

Celebrated Colombian artist Fernando Botero will show some of his most important works from over the course of his lengthy career in his retrospective, "BOTERO," on view February 19 through the end of March at Gary Nader Gallery in New York. Known for the rotund figures that inhabit his paintings, the 82-year-old-artist had his first solo show in 1951. Since then, he has made a name for himself internationally for his poignant work, which often features social and political critiques. Some of the proceeds from "BOTERO" will benefit El Museo Del Barrio, a Latin American cultural center in New York City.

Taylor White's vibrant, mixed-media explorations of form and movement evolve in the artist’s newest show, "Physical Phenomena,” running through June 30 at ABV Gallery in Atlanta. White says her latest work “builds upon the universally recognizable visual language of movement” and that she is inspired by the dance community of the North Carolina cities Raleigh and Durham.

Nathaniel Mary Quinn’s affecting mixed-media portraits recently returned in the show "Always Felt, Rarely Seen" at Almine Rech in Brussels. As with past work (Quinn was last featured on HiFructose.com here), there's a collage-like look to the work, though all aspects are sourced through materials at the artist's hands. Yet, as the gallery says, there’s been a more personal evolution in recent work.
In Jillian Denby’s voyeuristic, yet expansive paintings, people engage in both everyday activity as well as the unexpected. When viewed as a whole, her scenes offer a connectedness between its parties that each likely couldn’t see themselves. With works like "Genius of the River Chases Away The Frenzy of Art," the reality of what’s human and what’s art itself is blurred. “Nature can be overwhelming and landscape a little removed. With that in mind and viewing it directly, I try to acknowledge its presence, while conceptualizing a fragile observational dialogue,” the artist has said.
