Painting by Proxy
Painting by Proxy, organized by Project: ARTSpace, features artists who share the practice of eliminating handmade marks from the physical fabrication of their paintings, deploying instead a mechanical device, tool or objects acting as proxy for their work. This collaboration with chance and some level of unknown allows their images to appear as if elevated and, in a larger context, beyond that of the individual creator. Large-scale paintings are presented in the intimate space of the gallery, amplifying the sensory impact of their work. Works will be on view through December 17.

Art in Public Places
A monumental new sculpture by Hubert Phipps, titled Rocket, has been selected for an Art in Public Places initiative in South Florida, at the Boca Raton Innovation Campus. Part of a cultural partnership between the Boca Raton Museum of Art and CP Group, the program aims to take artwork beyond the walls of museums and into public, outdoor spaces for all to see. Rocket, which took two years to complete, stands 30-feet tall, weighs 9.8 tons, and took more than 2,200 square feet of stainless steel to construct.

The Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens has commissioned renowned artist Kehinde Wiley to create a new work inspired by Thomas Gainsborough’s The Blue Boy from circa 1770. The new large-scale portrait by Wiley, which is titled A Portrait of a Young Gentleman after the original Gainsborough title, will be a part of The Huntington’s permanent collection and will be on view through January 3, 2022. The commission also comes at a timely moment, as the museum celebrates its 100th anniversary of the purchase of the Gainsborough painting by Henry and Arabella Huntington, the founders of the institution. —
