Tuesday – Friday: 10am – 6pm
Saturday: 11am – 6pmMay 1, 2015 – New York, NY – Celebrating its inaugural exhibition, Jenn Singer Gallery presents Moves Moves – a solo exhibition of new paintings by New York and Rome based contemporary artist C. Finley. The opening reception will take place Tuesday, May 12, 2015, 6pm-8pm. The exhibition will continue through June 11, 2015.
The vibrant paintings in Moves Moves are alive with C. Finley’s signature details: wild colors, sensuality, and geometry that emanate positive energy and celebrate the body electric. The works were conceived as talismans for specific people in the artist’s life and were inspired by Tom Spanbauer’s novel The Man Who Fell in Love with the Moon…
“Anything that has life moves…One move is a heartbeat. Moves Moves is what it is that’s beating the heart – your heart and my heart and everybody else’s.”
In creating this new body of work, C. Finley ponders, “How do you master your Moves Moves? If everything that is living moves, then ‘Moves’ is a synonym for ‘living being’. But what is it that makes a living being move?”. According to the Spanbauer novel, Moves Moves is a mysterious substance or energy – that which moves living beings. One can redirect their Moves Moves to attain higher states of consciousness. Finley’s paintings embrace the mystery and joy of what Moves Moves us.
About the Artist: C. Finley is known for her elaborate geometric paintings, skillful use of color and her activism through street art. Previous projects include the 2014 Whitney Houston Biennial: I’m Every Woman and the Wallpaper Dumpster Project, Finley’s own style of street art that has been executed on the streets of Rome, Vienna and New York and featured in the New York Times, La Repubblica, the Huffington Post, NYLON Magazine, Dazed, and Women’s Wear Daily. Finley has shown internationally with exhibitions at Galerie Ernst Hilger, Vienna; Robert Fontaine Gallery, Miami; Scope Miami and New York; FDA Projects, Rome; High Energy Constructs and Salon Oblique, Los Angeles; and the Dumba Collective, New York. As a member of the artist collective HowDoYouSayYamInAfrican?, she participated in the 2014 Whitney Biennial. Finley received her BFA from the Pratt Institute, New York and her MFA from California State University, Long Beach.
About the Gallery: Jenn Singer Gallery’s diverse program features emerging and mid-career contemporary artists, as well as a selection of artworks by established post-war modern artists. The gallery is located in New York City’s historic Gramercy Park neighborhood.

Crazy Crayola Crayons Forever
For over a century, kids – young and old alike! – have been coloring their way through childhood with the iconic Crayola crayon.
Did you know…
The first box of Crayola crayons was introduced in 1903. It sold for a nickel and included the same eight colors available today: red, blue, yellow, green, violet, orange, black and brown.
Crayola produces nearly 3 billion crayons each year, an average of 12 million wax sticks daily. That’s enough to circle the globe 6 times!
The average child in the United States will wear down about 730 crayons by his or her 10th birthday (11,464 boxes or 7 lbs of crayons) enough to cover an NBA basketball court!
According to Christian Science Monitor, parents buy enough crayons in a year to make a giant crayon 35 feet wide and 100 feet taller than the Statue of Liberty! -
@BuyArtNotKids Media Preview at @CBC
We were recently invited to the Buy Art Not Kids (B.A.N.K.) Media Preview over at CBC studios. B.A.N.K. returned for its annual fundraising event in support of Ratanak International; a Canadian charity that rescues and rehabilitates child sex trafficking victims in Cambodia. The artwork set to be featured at the fundraiser on April 4th will feature the work of over 30 acclaimed Canadian artists and 14 senior students from Havergal College, where the event will be held.
My favourite piece!
“The Idea: Art can build up, or tear down; it can raise hope or trigger devastation. It communicates truth, or spreads lies. The ability for art to powerfully evoke such things has been noted throughout the centuries. But can art really change the world? Without acting on it, the change that art points us towards is lost. Art itself cannot change the world, but art can change people. And people can change the world! The B.A.N.K. (Buy Art Not Kids) Art Auction will celebrate the connection between art and its call-to-action by showcasing ‘art that inspires’.”
Rachelle and I :): B.A.N.K. was founded in 2011 by Rachelle and Stephen Kearns. As a mother of two she is highly motivated to take the compassion she feels and create tangible change.
Thank you for inviting me!Bella
