Juror: Enrico Riley

Bowery Gallery is pleased to present its 33rd Annual Juried Exhibition of work in two dimensions, juried this year by Enrico Riley. Bowery’s Annual Juried Exhibition gives Bowery artists and the art-loving public a first look—or a fresh look—at artists young and new to the scene, as well as midcareer artists. Many of them live and work in the Northeast, but the show includes artists from diverse parts of the country, including the South and the Midwest. The show presents 28 works by 26 artists, in a wide and eclectic range of media, including oil, acrylic, mixed media, pastel, and silverpoint.

This year’s juror, Enrico Riley, is Professor of Studio Art at Dartmouth College. He is the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship, the Rome Prize, and the American Academy of Arts and Letters Purchase Prize. Among his exhibitions are a solo show at the American Academy in Rome, and many group shows in venues including the Crystal Bridges Museum of Art, and the Painting Center in New York. His work is in collections including the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, the Studio Museum in Harlem, and the Hood Museum. He lives and works in Vermont and New Hampshire.

Bowery Gallery was founded in 1969 by a group of New York artists resisting the commercialization of the art world. Since then, the Gallery, with some 30-odd members, has shown painters and sculptors, abstract and figurative, who share a consciousness of tradition and a belief in the formal power of art. Bowery artists have shown in group and solo shows in galleries and museums nationwide; Bowery exhibitions have been praised in the pages of The New York Times, The New Yorker, Art in America, Modern Painters, The New Republic, The New Criterion, and on artcritical.com, among other publications.
