James Kalm rarely responds to requests, there simply isn’t enough time to fulfill all the desires of his audience. But, after a sequence of sincere appeals from viewers, your correspondent sacrificed scarce studio time to run into the East Village and record a last glimpse of “BLUE” the retrospective of the late Matthew Wong. To quote from the press release “Matthew Wong cast the landscapes and interiors of “Blue” under the halo of the penumbra: the outer region of a shadow where light crosses over into dark… With the sensibility of a flaneur, Wong’s semi-fictional subject matter refers to the sights he witnessed on walks while traveling in Sicily with his mother during the fall of 2018 and winter of 2019.” The works in “BLUE” display Wong’s poetic brush work, and his ability to select simple almost naive subjects, and infuse them with profound poignancy. The artist’s suicide in October of 2019, makes this show a tragic last view of unrealized potential. This program was recorded January 4, 2020.
