DOING THANGS
Just a brief note:
I’m in the midst of preparing for my next exhibition, which opens April 10 at the Queens Museum in New York. Henceforth and therefore, there will be very limited updates of this site between now and then, as surely, I’ll blow all my brain cells and/or a gasket. In light of Armory Week next week, I’ll maybe post some brief notes from a few fairs, but other than...

HERMONIE ONLY
b. 1985
Hermonie Only is an artist living and working in Baltimore, Maryland. She recently had a solo exhibition at Penthouse Gallery. Her work has a wry, minimal sensibility, as if the graphic design of Peter Saville sprung to three dimensional life. Simple geometry in primary colors—a welcome respite from trendy visual clutter.
