10/4/15 review of an art talk at Helikon Gallery

Here is the link to my Twitter thread review of a 2015 art talk between Naomi Scheck and Peter Yumi at Helikon Gallery in Denver, Colorado.

This talk was in conjunction with Scheck and Yumi's show Stratum, which I've reviewed in a previous post. The talk discussed the artists' different styles, how the artists became friends, how the artists were developing new techniques, and some other Helikon events. I also discuss the Nobuyoshi Araki book Tokyo Lucky Hole, which I bought from Helikon.

Here is the link to Helikon's page about their 2015 show Stratum.

Here is the link to my Twitter thread review of the 2015 show Stratum at Helikon Gallery in Denver, Colorado.

Stratum showed the work of Peter Yumi and Naomi Scheck. In my Twitter thread I discuss Yumi's and Scheck's different styles and concepts. I include quite a few photos of Yumi's work. I don't show many photos of Scheck's work -- though I love her work and wish I'd taken more pictures.

Here is the link to the Helikon Gallery web page about the show Stratum.
