Tuesday – Friday: 10am – 6pm
Saturday: 11am – 6pmMay 1, 2015 – New York, NY – Celebrating its inaugural exhibition, Jenn Singer Gallery presents Moves Moves – a solo exhibition of new paintings by New York and Rome based contemporary artist C. Finley. The opening reception will take place Tuesday, May 12, 2015, 6pm-8pm. The exhibition will continue through June 11, 2015.
The vibrant paintings in Moves Moves are alive with C. Finley’s signature details: wild colors, sensuality, and geometry that emanate positive energy and celebrate the body electric. The works were conceived as talismans for specific people in the artist’s life and were inspired by Tom Spanbauer’s novel The Man Who Fell in Love with the Moon…
“Anything that has life moves…One move is a heartbeat. Moves Moves is what it is that’s beating the heart – your heart and my heart and everybody else’s.”
In creating this new body of work, C. Finley ponders, “How do you master your Moves Moves? If everything that is living moves, then ‘Moves’ is a synonym for ‘living being’. But what is it that makes a living being move?”. According to the Spanbauer novel, Moves Moves is a mysterious substance or energy – that which moves living beings. One can redirect their Moves Moves to attain higher states of consciousness. Finley’s paintings embrace the mystery and joy of what Moves Moves us.
About the Artist: C. Finley is known for her elaborate geometric paintings, skillful use of color and her activism through street art. Previous projects include the 2014 Whitney Houston Biennial: I’m Every Woman and the Wallpaper Dumpster Project, Finley’s own style of street art that has been executed on the streets of Rome, Vienna and New York and featured in the New York Times, La Repubblica, the Huffington Post, NYLON Magazine, Dazed, and Women’s Wear Daily. Finley has shown internationally with exhibitions at Galerie Ernst Hilger, Vienna; Robert Fontaine Gallery, Miami; Scope Miami and New York; FDA Projects, Rome; High Energy Constructs and Salon Oblique, Los Angeles; and the Dumba Collective, New York. As a member of the artist collective HowDoYouSayYamInAfrican?, she participated in the 2014 Whitney Biennial.

Hairstylist on MTV’s Finding Carter Shares Styling Tips
Celebrity hairstylist Richard Boggs, who is currently hair department head on the MTV drama television series Finding Carter, shares his tips for styling the show’s lead actress Kathryn Prescott (Carter Stevens). Watch every Tuesday at 10/9c.
Photo from MTV.com
1. Start out by cleansing and treating the hair with RBpro Essentials Moisture Shampoo ($17) and Moisture Conditioner ($17). This duo is sulfate and paraben free. Their powerful anti-aging and collagen-building properties act as a barrier to seal the hair cuticle and protect from fading and damage. This is a great way to maintain and keep reds like this bright for filming.
2. When we are on set, I am blow drying every day and then restyling the hair can cause stress, breakage and fly-always. I make sure to reach for RBPro Essentials Everyday Miracle Repair Treatment ($17) when hair is damp and apply it just before I begin heat styling. It is a must for maintaining the integrity and over-all health of the hair. The treatment is weightless, which is important when using it on fine hair like Ms. Prescott’s.
3. Since Finding Carter is shot in Hot-Atlanta’s humidity, it’s important to thoroughly blow dry hair in stages. Section the hair off into 4 main parts, then thoroughly blow dry root to end. This will ensure great long lasting and smooth volume. I always use RBpro Essentials Le Deux Styling Crème($17). No flat iron or curling iron needed. It’s a blow-n-go!
4. To finish the style, a shot of White Sands Infinity Finishing Spray ($22) at the root area will always insure fullness. Finishing off a Hollywood style with White Sands is a guarantee your glamour work will endure the long day of shooting! This spray just holds the style no matter what the weather or shooting conditions are like.
