Close Our Eyes and Go to Bed, 2008 by Clare Grill

Yes, we do know it's been snowing for the last forty hours straight and there are snowbanks and puddles galore. But, we hope you'll still stop in at Jen Bekman Gallery to see the gorgeous paintings of Clare Grill, whose solo-exhibition What You're Told closes tomorrow, Saturday, February 27th.

Up close and in-person, Clare's intuitive technique, "makes you notice the paint as much as the pictures," writes Benjamin Genocchio for The New York Times. We can only agree that in-person is the very best way to see these works, nostalgic pieces saturated with layer upon layer of paint creating dimension that can only be appreciated when face-to-face with the canvas.

On that note, we hope you'll brave the stormy sidewalks and head down to the gallery before tomorrow at 6 p.m. If you're not in New York at all, make sure to have a look at the show's installation shots on Flickr and peek inside her studio, courtesy of MoMA/P.S.1.

Clare also has three editions available on 20x200: Cake, Assignment and The Overachievers. Don't delay!
