SUMMER GROUP SHOW and INVITATIONAL
June 20 – July 26, 2002
The gallery is pleased to continue its summer seasonal exhibitions of new works by gallery artists, as well as presenting selected works by invited guests.
On display by the entry is a grid
installation of acrylic paintings by Albert Contreras, which incorporate glitter
and florescent pigments. Also, a new painting by Peter Schuyff, Bathers
,
embodies the artist’s signature style, with the introduction of newer
chiaroscuro elements. Chie Fueki is represented by her monumental Sun, while Hilary Harkness’ exquisite
new drawing, entitled Sinking the Bismarck, hangs by the front desk.
Mt. Meru, by Stephen Mueller,
and Afterward, by Andrea Belag, are the most recent works by these
artists who are working at their very best, while Susanne Kühn is represented
by the excellent Waterfall, which was exhibited earlier this year at
Radcliffe College. Bart Exposito, who will be having his first New York solo
at the gallery in September, is showing a medium-size untitled acrylic on
canvas: a sharp, concise painting, both lucid and dynamic.
Stanley Whitney’s Here and There anchors the front gallery, along with a riveting drawing, The Dock, by Tony Fitzpatrick, and Jim Torok’s hilarious dual storyboard diary of the artist’s life, both good and bad. Also in front, are Lewis deSoto’s Forty First, an evocative rendition of a house he once lived in, in Seattle, drawn from memory on Adobe Photoshop, then printed in pigment on paper; and Irene Hardwicke Olivieri's complex portrait on wood of a young man whose body is a composite of various reptiles, Wading in Mangroves.
Domingo Nuño, a young artist originally from Mexico and now living in New York, was invited to show Five Motel Rooms, a series of work incorporating scanned imagery and downloaded scenes from the internet, in vibrant, luxuriant tones on paper.
