Arthur, the godfather of Julia Street art world, has a fantastic space worth a visit any day you have time for it in New Orleans. While NOMA, the Ogden, and the CAC all house significant collections, Arthur’s exhibitions all have the wonderful potential for being more permanent installations in your home. He has an eye for identifying, developing and exhibiting those who will be known in the future for exemplifying the best of New Orleans art. At the current time (and I am slightly biased towards this artist), Nicole Charbonnet has an exhibition of true genius level up. “Dragons, Dinosaurs, Divinations and other Epiphanies” in general exhibits works which will bring the brain to new areas. Her use of negative space in the work “Hiyo” is just one example of her technical brilliance. My favorite work in the collection is the relatively monumental work, “Starry Night No. 2”, to me, brings out a favorable comparison to Takashi Murakami’s exhibit in 2017 at MFA Boston. The other artists are also worthy, and can bring out memories/impressions you would not expect. I encourage you, if you are in New Orleans, to go see Arthur’s gallery. Enjoy.
