SUMMARY:Joanne Freeman: New York Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Kathryn Markel Fine Arts is thrilled to announce New York Conversation\, an upcoming exhibition of new work by Joanne Freeman. New York Conversation is Freeman’s third solo exhibition with the gallery. The show will be accompanied by a group show curated by Freeman titled Betty and Veronica. They will run concurrently from January 5th – February 11th\, 2023. \n  \n“New York Conversation references my studio process\, and metaphorically describes the random thoughts\, snippets of conversation\, lyrics and memories that ebb and flow over the course of a painting. Visual signs\, nostalgia and the emotional residue of color\, guide my aesthetic choices\,” Freeman says. While intuitive\, Freeman’s stencil-like forms and irregular hard-edge curves harken Modernism and minimalist sensibilities. This is heightened by a palette of saturated primary colors\, or monochromatic works.   “My paintings reference forms found in architecture and design\,” she says.  “I create compositions based on loose geometry and layered saturated colors. The hard edge process of cutting shapes and layering color onto treated raw linen\, recalls qualities of mid-century low-tech graphics\, color field painting and collage\,” she continues.  \n  \nThe forms are hard-edged while still breathy and organic.  The subtle transparencies at the edges of the forms and the contrast of the brushstrokes across the tooth of linen reveal the artist’s hand. “When applying oil paint to linen I try to accentuate the inherent qualities of both mediums\,” she says. “ I consider both the transparency and opacity of the colors\, how they abut and overlap\, and how they respond to the textured tooth of the linen.” She is mindful of each medium’s materiality when painting.  Her saturated colors in either gouache or oil paint are absorbed by the handmade paper or linen\, enhancing the modernist flatness of her forms and use of space. “My reductive abstract paintings are about the beauty of singular color\, the impact of pure abstract forms and the quiet order that cuts through the noise\,” Freeman says.  \n  \nJoanne Freeman has had solo exhibitions in galleries around the United States\, and shown at The Queens Museum\, Zillman Art Museum University of Maine\, The Painting Center\, and the Cape Cod Museum of Art. She’s a 2021 recipient of the Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant\, and the Vice President of the American Abstract Artists organization. She has her M.A in Studio Art from New York University\, and lives and works in New York City. \n  Save

SUMMARY:Heather Stivison\, “Ebb & Flow”\, a Solo Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:In this her third New York City solo exhibition\, Heather Stivison explores the intersection of environmental science and visual art with a series of immersive paintings of the ocean. \nStivison paintings capture the essence of water—something clear and colorless\, with its shape formed entirely by the external forces of objects\, land\, wind\, gravity. Searching for water’s most primary qualities\, she uses light\, color\, form\, shape\, line\, to engender a sense of water. Fluidity\, reflections\, rhythms are evident in her ocean surface paintings. Stivison is fascinated by the reflections and patterns created by the coastal ocean surface. She paints variations on patterns\, exploring how much she can change them and still maintain the sense that the subject is surface water. \nCurator and director of Manhattan Arts International Renee Phillips writes: \n“Stivison ventures beyond nature’s physical boundaries into abstraction with the profusion of free-flowing biomorphic patterns and tonal ranges. In her paintings the innate attributes of water evolve into metaphors\, symbolism and visual poetry.” \nThe exhibition includes a massive 110-inch quadriptych that explores the sense of weightlessness and mystery that she finds in the imagining unknown ocean depths. Other paintings explore surface water patterns as abstract design. \nIndependent curator Kathy Imlay writes: \n“Stivison’s paintings have a luminous glow—accomplished by the artist building up layer upon layer of viscous paint\, which she pours\, smears\, scrapes and otherwise manipulates to create fields of color that conjure the watery depths of the ocean or intergalactic space\, depending on the palette.” \nSome of the paintings on view are the result of her multi-year\, grant funded collaboration with Noah Germolus\, a scientist at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute who was researching ocean chemistry. Stivison created two paintings about him and his work\, and four five-foot paintings that interpret his research data in paint. \nThe collaboration led to a unique special feature of this exhibition. After Stivison interpreted his data in paint\, he in turn\, interpreted four of her paintings in music. The exhibition includes an on-demand sound installation of original jazz music composed and performed by Germolus. \n  Save

SUMMARY:Robert Braczyk: Cardinal Directions
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition Dates: January 27 – February 21\, 2026\nOpening Reception: Thurs.\, January 29\, 2026\, 5PM-8PM\nArtist Talk: Saturday\, February 14\, 2026\, 3PM-4PM\nGallery Hours: Tuesday – Saturday\, 11AM-6PM \nBowery Gallery is pleased to present “Cardinal Directions\,” an exhibition of new sculpture by Robert Braczyk.  \nFor many years a prize-winning figurative sculptor\, in recent years Braczyk has turned to abstraction. In his new work—most about 24 inches high—he assembles various tree elements into vertical compositions that echo figural forms\, but whose abstract vocabulary of open volumes and discontinuous contours suggests the possibility of multiple allusions. Each work evinces a powerful spatial tension between the cardinal point from which it is begun and the complex three-dimensional image that Braczyk builds with primary thrust\, axis\, and meridian.  \nBraczyk’s trajectory from figure to abstract figure may be seen as a temporal through line connecting the events of a life. The artist’s comment that he brings all his life’s experiences into the studio reminds us that in the long arc of his career\, the spatial and temporal are never far apart. \nView the exhibition website. \n  \nBowery Gallery\n547 W. 27th Street\, Suite 508\nNew York\, NY 10001 \n  Save

SUMMARY:LEO VILLAREAL: COSMOS
DESCRIPTION:An homage to the late Cornell astronomy professor Carl Sagan\, Cosmos is a site-specific installation by New York–based artist Leo Villareal (born 1967)\, a pioneer in the use of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and computer-driven imagery. His signature pieces explore complex movement and dazzling patterns created by points of light using his own computer software. \n \nVillareal – Cosmos – Johnson Museum – Cornell final from Walter Patrick Smith\, AIA LEED A on Vimeo. \nPlanning for Cosmos began in November 2010\, when Villareal—along with the project architect\, Walter Smith\, and donors Lisa and Richard Baker—worked with Johnson Museum staff to determine the optimal location for the installation. The ceiling of the Sherry and Joel Mallin Sculpture Court was chosen for its high visibility not only on campus but also from the city of Ithaca. After studying the Museum’s architectural plans and considering structural and aesthetic aspects of the installation\, the artist’s team returned to Cornell in April 2012 to install a nine-foot-square mock-up. Installation of the final piece took several weeks\, with twelve thousand energy-efficient LEDs on a gridded framework attached to the ceiling of the sculpture court. A zero gravity bench was designed by the artist for viewers to fully immerse themselves in the viewing experience and to foster a more communal involvement with his installation. Villareal gave a public lecture to mark the opening of the installation. \nVillareal’s works reinterpret fundamental components of such twentieth-century art movements as pop\, minimalism\, conceptual\, and post-painterly abstraction while responding to the ingenuity and imagination that defines technology in the twenty-first century. Among his most notable site-specific works are the illumination of the exterior of the Brooklyn Academy of Music (2006)\, Multiverse in the Concourse walkway between the East and West Buildings at the National Gallery of Art (2008)\, and Sky at the Tampa Museum of Art (2009). His largest installation to date is The Bay Lights\, illuminating the West Span of the San Francisco Bay Bridge for its 75th anniversary in 2013. \nAndrea Inselmann\nCurator of Modern and Contemporary Art \n\nImage:\nLeo Villareal\nCosmos\, 2012\nWhite LED Lights\, custom software\, and electrical hardware; site-specific installation.\nAcquired through the generosity of Richard Baker\, Class of 1988\, and Lisa Baker.\n2012.056\nPhoto: James Ewing \n\n  Save

SUMMARY:Duende: Artists Translating Spirits
DESCRIPTION:Duende: Artists Translating Spirits \nMay 3 –  June 9\, 2018 \nCavin-Morris Gallery is pleased to present Duende: Artists Translating Spirits.  A duende is a spirit often associated with flamenco dancing that rises up through the feet of dancers.  It is also an embodiment of heightened creative and passionate receptivity and thus wonderfully apt for the artists in this exhibition\, each of who makes art while in a trance state surrendering the hand to an otherworldly entity.  Although some of the artists in Duende are mediums this is not the central premise of this exhibition.  We looked specifically for artists who felt that their artworks were either authored by or in collaboration with entities from other planes of existence.  These artists are able to translate the existence of these entities into works of art not in memory but as part of an immediate sharing of experience. \nIt is often claimed that Art Brut focuses only on the work of psychologically damaged artists\, but examination of its history\, both while founder Jean Dubuffet was alive and after his death\, shows that there were many artists working in a visionary or spiritualistic mode included in this seminal collection.   It was the Surrealists\, personified mainly by Andre Breton who most extensively championed the mediumistic works.  In fact\, a major disagreement between Breton and Dubuffet centered on Breton not wanting the work to lose its mediumistic identity by being consumed in\, and relabeled as ‘Art Brut’. \nThe artists in this exhibition mainly worked in the 20th century\, but some of the artists are still alive and working today\, both from non-Western cultures. M’onma was born in northern Japan\, and Noviadi Angkasapura was born in Irian Jaya.  M’onma surrenders to an entity that takes control of his hand for hours.  He draws in a state of a waking trance until the entity leaves his body.  Angkasapura\, who grew up in animistic surroundings\, was visited by a spirit who told him to make art to keep Balance and sound moral judgment in his life.  Every drawing he makes has the phrase ”KI RADEN SASTRO INGIL” which was said to him by the Spirit. \nThe earliest work in the exhibition is by František Jaroslav Pecka who made mediumistic drawings in the early 1920s in what is now the Czech Republic.  The country has been a haven for Spiritualists as far back as the 19th Century\, despite the political waves that have rolled over the country.  This is the first time his work has been exhibited since his work was shown in Paris during the National Spiritist Congress in 1927. \nWe will be showing rarely seen early drawings by Anna Zemánková\, who is joined by another Czech artist\, Cecilie Marková\, and an anonymous Czech artist who bears a strong visual kinship to Zemánková and Marková\, despite working much earlier during the dark times of World War II.  \nFrench artist Henriette Zéphir began drawing in 1941\, submitting to the influence of spiritual forces that commanded her to draw as they instructed her.  The intention of these drawings\, first admired by Jean Dubuffet in 1945\, were a complete mystery to Zéphir.  Towards the end of her life she came to the realization that they were a translation of beneficial energetic forces that needed to find release in this plane. \nAgatha Wojciechowsky came to America from Germany in 1923.  Quite suddenly\, in the 1950’s she began to paint and draw.  Like Zemánková and Zéphir\, her work appealed to Jean Dubuffet\, and other expatriated surrealists in the United States. She said\, in what has now become a familiar refrain\, that her work was the result of different entities that directed her hand.  She had nothing to do with it. \nIt is natural that much of the western aspect of spiritualist work came after the Civil War and then again between the two World Wars\, as people desperately tried to come to terms with the massive numbers of family members and friends among the fatalities.  The beginning of the 20th century was also a time where early studies of spiritualism and the paranormal were still tied to scientific investigation\, in hopes that science could quantify and thereby legitimize the experience.  \nHelen Wells and Norma Oliver also worked in New York in the early part of the 20th century as high society mediums and founders of the Jansen Group\, which summoned and drew upon spirits of the dead including Native Americans\, enslaved people\, aliens\, and ancient Greeks.  They both worked with named spirits to do very different types of drawings. \nPaulina Peavy (American\, 1901-1999) was a trained artist\, who attending a séance in 1932 where she met a UFO named Lacomo.  This force directed her brush\, and became her co-painter.  Peavy made masks that she wore while painting to facilitate Lacomo’s flow of energy to her.  Lacomo shared the secrets of the universe with Peavy\, including the belief that the future held an androgynous life for mankind\, and humans would evolve into invisible spirits or UFO’s.  The rest of her life was dedicated to the promotion of this worldview\, and cosmos was the only subject of her art. \nJohn Bunion (JB) Murray\, who never learned to read or write\, received and channeled the Holy Spirit when making his abstract yet specific drawings and by reading his ansemic writing through a bottle of sacred water from his well. He was able to interpret the struggle of the Holy Spirit to save lost souls.  We will be exhibiting his prayer-filled envelopes\, long scrolls on adding machine tape\, and other rarely seen art from the estate. \nThis exhibition gives viewers a new vantage point for perceiving the breadth and global reach of Art Brut.  It is a testament to the sheer human necessity of the field that sub-genres continue to develop 70 years after Jean Dubuffet first put the collection together. \nOther artists in the exhibition include Anthony Hopkins\, Coco Fronsac\, Vera\, and tantric drawings by anonymous makers. \nThanks to Andrew Edlin Gallery for the loan of Paulina Peavy\, and to The Center For Book Arts for the loan of display cases. \nFor further information please contact the gallery at 212-226-3768\, or email us at: info@cavinmorris.com. \n  Save

SUMMARY:Olga Tobreluts: Pieta and Resurrection
DESCRIPTION:Olga Tobreluts \nPieta and Resurrection \nMay 5 through June 30\, 2018 \nOpening Reception: Saturday\, May 5th from 6:00 to 8:00 pm \nArtist Talk and Reception with the Artist: Thursday\, May 24th from 6:00 to 8:00 pm \n  \nDeborah Colton Gallery is pleased to present Pieta and Resurrection\, the third solo-exhibition of multimedia works by internationally acclaimed artist from Russian\, Olga Tobreluts. Pieta and Resurrection was part of her recent solo exhibition at MODEM Museum in Debrecen\, Hungary. The exhibition explores the theories and principles of abstraction and imagery in both historical and 21st century times. The exhibition opens Saturday\, May 5th from 6:00 to 8:00 pm. On Thursday\, May 24th\, Olga Tobreluts will be present to giving a walking tour of her exhibition and to greet everyone at the reception. \nBorn in 1970 in Murino\, Leningrad Oblast\, Russia\, Olga Tobreluts now lives and works in Budapest and St. Petersburg. An accomplished artist who works with photography\, video\, painting and sculpture\, Olga is a pioneer of digital art movement in Russia and has belonged to the Neo-Academism group of artists\, The New Academy\, in St. Petersburg since 1994. This movement\, through traditionally pleasant and refined aesthetics\, addresses ideas of the “beautiful” the acquiescent-recreative and hedonism. Olga uses new media as a means of expressing her own system of poetics based on the dialectics of high and low academism: where the artist endeavors to strike a balance between high-style classical models and low-brow\, kitschy\, and crude models. \nOlga has had numerous solo museum exhibitions throughout the world\, including in Belgium\, Germany\, France\, United Kingdom\, Spain\, Italy\, Netherlands\, Norway\, Sweden and Finland and has shown with American favorites like Tony Oursler and Cindy Sherman at the Tate Modern\, as well as countless other well known international artists.

Her works have been acquired by significant collections including at the MoMA\, New York\, the State Russian Museum\, the Ludwig Museum\, Budapest\, the Bornholm Museum of Contemporary Art\, Denmark\, the Baron von Stieglitz Museum\, St. Petersburg\, Groningen Museum\, the Netherlands\, the Ibsen Foundation\, Oslo\, Germany Women Art Museum\, Bonn\, V & A Museum\, London. \n.Olga Tobreluts’ work was exhibited for the first time at Deborah Colton Gallery during the 2012 FotoFest Biennial in a solo exhibition\, Focus on Russia I. In 2015 Tobreluts debuted new work at Deborah Colton Gallery in her solo exhibition\, New Abilities. Pieta and Resurrection represents Tobreluts’ third solo exhibition at Deborah Colton Gallery. \n  \nDeborah Colton Gallery is founded on being an innovative showcase for ongoing presentation and promotion of strong historical and visionary contemporary artists world-wide\, whose diverse practices include painting\, works on paper\, sculpture\, video\, photography\, performance\, conceptual future media and public space installations. The gallery aspires to provide a forum through connecting Texas\, national and international artists to make positive change. \n  Save

SUMMARY:Opening Reception for Amy Lincoln: Sun\, Moon\, Stars
DESCRIPTION:Amy Lincoln presents recent paintings in her second solo exhibition with the gallery. Her laborious acrylic-on-panel depictions of flora and landscapes are at once ravishing and comically surreal. Event will be held at 534 west 24th street. \nLincoln is a committed figurative painter with a bent towards the surreal\, making works that depict the world and then give way to a certain slow-burning abstraction and symbolism. At face value her oeuvre features closely observed representations of plants and other elements of the natural world:  ocean\, sand\, sun\, moon\, clouds\, mountains\, and volcanos. To render these the artist relies on sources ranging from the familiar (Lincoln’s own backyard)\, to the splendid (elaborate botanical gardens)\, to the virtual (images found on the internet)\, adeptly weaving together disparate imagery to create fantastic worlds rooted in the real. \nLincoln’s hard-earned painterly language\, marked by opaque planes of keyed up color\, graphic clarity\, and flattened pictorial space\, brings a somewhat cartoonish quality to each landscape\, highlighting the otherworldliness of the forms depicted and inviting entry into almost alien worlds. Playfulness abounds\, but it is also a smokescreen for a latent\, more complex psychological content. The paintings’ insistence on formal repetition (gently pulsing light gradients and repeating motifs of leaves\, stars\, clouds) asks the viewer to slow down during the experience of looking and take in each compositional twist and turn. Plants take on uncanny anthropomorphic qualities and seem to exert their will on the structure of the image\, competing with and complementing one another as if characters on a stage. This exhibition finds Lincoln deftly threading the needle between the familiar and strange\, beauty and mystery. \n  \nAmy Lincoln received her MFA in Painting from Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia and her BA in Studio Art from the University of California\, Davis. Recent exhibitions include Regina Rex (NY) and Monya Rowe (FL)\, with Sargent’s Daughters (NY) upcoming. She has participated in the Lower Manhattan Swing Space residency\, the Inside Out Art Museum artist residency in Beijing\, as well as the Wave Hill Winter Workspace in NYC. Her work has been reviewed in Hyperallergic\, The New Criterion\, Two Coats of Paint\, and The Brooklyn Rail\, among other. The artist lives in Glendale\, Queens. \n  Save
