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 exhibited at such prestigious institutions as the Tate Modern in London\, the Museum of Modern Art in New York\, the State Russian Museum in St. Petersburg\, the Museum of Contemporary Art\, the Museum of Modern Art in Moscow\, the Ostende Museum in Belgium\, the Modern Art Museum in Stockholm\, the Ludwig Museum in Budapest and numerous others. 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

SUMMARY:"Nighthorses"
DESCRIPTION:Gagosian is pleased to present Nighthorses\, new work by Adam McEwen. \nAs McEwen’s title suggests\, anxiety resides even in the most common images and objects. His art draws attention to the vestigial dramas of daily life; the forgotten is memorialized\, the subliminal laid bare. Narrative flow is tempting to seek yet impossible to find. \nThe centerpiece of Nighthorses is a series of narrow\, perfectly rectangular frames mounted on the wall. Rendered individually in graphite\, brass\, steel\, and phosphorescent resin\, they recall the serial geometries of Minimalism—only that the latchkey positioned inside the base of each frame suggests the back end of a truck\, pared down to a schema. In another series\, images of rumpled beds are printed onto sheets of vividly colored cellulose sponge and thus transformed into scaleless\, undulating landscapes. Paired with life-size graphite objects fixed to the surface—an oar\, a ladder\, a hand dryer\, and a lavatory cistern—they generate a sense of psychological dissonance. Moving on from Andy Warhol’s notorious Disaster series\, McEwen’s image of the aftermath of a car crash\, printed on yellow cellulose sponge and supporting two smooth graphite drum cymbals\, offers a perfect visual tautology. \nThrough McEwen’s deft game of aesthetic surrogacy\, ordinary things are charged with a sense of unspecified malaise. The unique physical characteristics of industrial graphite—light-absorbing\, dense\, and self-lubricating—are unsettlingly nonnegotiable. A graphite pay phone without a hand receiver sits in a permanent capture of vandalized obsolescence; a graphite Hula-Hoop hangs heavy and inert on a nail; and a plywood sheet cast in phosphorescent urethane is pierced by the mysterious geometries of a graphite funnel\, balanced on top of a graphite sphere. \nAdam McEwen was born in 1965 in London and lives and works in New York. Collections include the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum\, New York; Whitney Museum of American Art\, New York; Rubell Family Collection\, Miami; De la Cruz Collection\, Miami; The Brant Foundation Art Study Center\, Greenwich\, CT; Museo Jumex\, Mexico City; Julia Stoschek Collection\, Düsseldorf\, Germany; Aberdeen Art Gallery and Museums\, Scotland; and Arts Council Collection\, London. Recent institutional exhibitions include The Goss-Michael Foundation\, Dallas\, TX (2012); Museo Civico-Diocesano di Santa Maria dei Servi\, Città della Pieve\, Italy (2015); and Adam McEwen: I Think I’m in Love\, Aspen Art Museum\, CO (2017). In 2010\, McEwen curated Fresh Hell at the Palais de Tokyo\, Paris\, for the annual Carte Blanche series. \n  Save

SUMMARY:Opening Reception for Rubens Ghenov: Aft Key
DESCRIPTION:Morgan Lehman is delighted to present recent paintings by Rubens Ghenov in the artist’s third solo exhibition with the gallery. \nThis show\, entitled Aft Key\, includes three bodies of work made between 2017 and 2018\, which take as their subject the late Spanish poet Angelico Morandá’s interests in ideas of time\, ontology\, sound\, and mantras. Here\, Aft is to be read as a shortened version of the preposition\, after\, which\, for Morandá\, denotes the middle stage of descent (or diagonal time). Diagonal time can be thought of as the line that links the metaphysical world of the vertical (concerning the intellectual\, conscious\, cosmic) with the horizontal (considering the terrestrial\, pausal\, dreamlike)\, within the right triangle structure that informs Morandá’s poetry and meditative practice. Aft is thus both between space but also beyond\, converging backward in time to the present in a cyclical triangular motion. In this way\, form leads to concept and concept back into form\, as Ghenov mines the rich philosophy of the poet to create his own lyrical\, mystical paintings. \n  Save

SUMMARY:Identifiably Houston – Foundations III
DESCRIPTION:Identifiably Houston: Foundations III  \nSeptember 15 through October 27\, 2018 \nOpening Reception: Saturday\, September 15\, 2018\, from 4:00 to 6:00 pm \nPanel Discussion and Open House: Saturday\, October 20th\, 2:00 to 6:00 pm (Panel at 2:30) \n  \nJOHN ALEXANDER      BOB CAMBLIN             MICHAEL COLLINS      VIRGIL GROTFELDT \nLUCAS JOHNSON       BERT L. LONG JR.       JESSE LOTT               SHARON KOPRIVA \nKERMIT OLIVER          FORREST PRINCE       EARL STALEY                     RICHARD STOUT \n  \nDeborah Colton Gallery is pleased to present Identifiably Houston: Foundations III\, a group exhibition of courageous and spirited artists who have made a major impact and have conveyed the pioneering spirit that Houston was founded with over 180 years ago. The exhibition is also paying tribute to Houston’s Heritage Society and their related events this season. \nAlthough this is just a small sampling of Houston artists who reveal their strong individualism and brave representational type art that has a narrative — often with an aspect of abstraction\, as viewers enter Deborah Colton Gallery during this exhibition\, they will instantly feel and see the connection within this genre or “School” that is something special and unique to Houston! \nSharon Kopriva\, Forrest Prince and Kermit Oliver\, though working with dissimilar processes\, are all sensitive to religious influences where narratives are commingled with their powerful personal visions\, spiritual traditions\, and attraction to global events and mythologies\, all which further energize their strong creative voices. The works of John Alexander\, Bert L. Long Jr. and Earl Staley have long represented the rich traditions and highest qualities of story-telling and their works continue to inspire and connect us with a splenetic era. A pioneer and leader in his own right\, Jesse Lott has never been afraid to create awareness of serious human rights and humanitarian issues through his art. Lott’s important sculpture from 1980\, titled Big Girl –A Tribute to Eula Love that is featured in this exhibition reveals this clearly. Richard Stout and Michael Collins share inspiration from places remembered and imagined that posses a certain evanescence and soulfully verdant energy. Virgil Grotfeldt has used bold materials and imagery that evoke a sense of mystery that take us to a higher level of consciousness. Both Lucas Johnson and Bob Camblin have used the figurative and the landscape to express bold statements about society and the human condition. The tragic and joyous may be found in all of these masterful creations.  All of these artists have not been afraid to tackle tough issues and are as courageous as the first settlers founding Houston\, the first artists coming out of Houston\, and have been affected by our geography\, neighboring boarders\, their travels and those artists making a strong statement in Houston before them. \nOn Saturday\, October 20th\, at 2:30 pm\, Deborah Colton Gallery will host a panel discussion addressing the question\, is there a type of art\, a spirit of art that is “Identifiably Houston”? Does this go back as far as Emma Richardson Cherry and the first artists who organized as a Gallery Guild around the time Houston was founded? What were they influenced by? What artists in the 20’s\, 30’s and 40’s were “setting the stage” for this type of art in Houston? Who were the mentors of these artists and who are the other artists whose work displays these qualities? There are certainly many. Is this a “Houston School”? How do the historical roots of our artists in Houston differ from other cities in Texas? What were the outside influences geographically and through artist who came to the city and formed a community with others? Has there been more of a community of artists in the past and where are we now as a community of artists?   Panel Members will include Pete Gershon\, Randy Tibbits and Michael Collins. Moderator will be Deborah Colton. \n  \nBorn on the bayou in east Texas\, John Alexander has made an international career as a skilled draftsman\, a painter of lush landscapes\, and as a satirist creating allegorical tableaus. Alexander (b. 1945) began studying art at Lamar University in his hometown of Beaumont. After earning an MFA in 1970 from Southern Methodist University in Dallas\, Alexander took a teaching position at the University of Houston\, where he became a key figure in the city’s nascent art scene. Alexander moved to New York City in 1979\, taking a SoHo loft he still calls home. In addition to his continuing fascination with the surreal and humankind at its worst\, Alexander gravitates toward depicting marshy landscapes\, and studied portraits of flora and fauna\, particularly the birds flocking to his part-time home on Long Island’s East End. Naturalism and conservation remain hallmarks of his work\, and he says the Beaumont bayou of his youth is never far from his mind. Alexander has been widely exhibited\, with major shows at the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington\, D.C.\, and the Museum of Fine Arts\, Houston. His work can be found in public collections at the Metropolitan Museum of Art; Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden; Los Angeles County Museum of Art; Museum of Contemporary Art\, Los Angeles; Museum of Contemporary Art\, Chicago; Dallas Museum of Art; Museum of Fine Arts\, Houston; and many others. He has received many awards in the arts nation-wide. \n  \nBob Camblin was born in Oklahoma in 1928 and studied painting at the Kansas City Art Institute\, earning an MFA in 1955. He taught at Rice University from 1967 to 1973 with Joe Tate and Earl Staley\, with whom he shared a studio space. His influence and art was a constant undercurrent in the Houston art scene\, revealing much about the environment and those that surrounded him. He left Houston in the early 80s. Known for his drawings\, watercolors\, paintings and his gregarious\, direct personality\, Camblin was included in the Fresh Paint\, The Houston School Museum of Fine Arts exhibition in 1985 and was the only artist without a written statement in the catalogue…. \n  \nMichael Roque Collins is an artist recognized for producing some of the most profoundly affecting figurative Post Symbolist painting seen today in Contemporary art. He was born in Houston\, Texas\, in 1955 and maintains his primary studio in this Gulf Coast city.

He moved to Houston in 1977. He began teaching painting and drawing at HBU in 2002\, where he was also widely considered instrumental in the concept and construction of the University Academic Center’s new building\, of which the art department occupies about 70 percent.

He lived for an extended time in Mexico City\, where he was embraced and influenced by artist contemporaries who followed the great Mexican muralists. Self-taught in drawing\, paintings\, printmaking and bronze casting\, he debuted paintings for the first time in 1967. Johnson was a guest instructor in the arts at the Glassell School of Art and at Houston’s Rice University. His work is represented in the permanent collections of museums in Mexico City\, the Menil and Museum of Fine Arts Houston\, and the Modern Art Museum in Tel Aviv. In 1993 Johnson was a founding board member of the Houston Artists Fund with two associates\, effectively establishing a charitable organization\, still active\, that serves as a fiscal sponsor for nonprofit art-related projects and provides administrative support and budgets monitoring for funds raised from the art community. \n  \n  \nBert L. Long\, Jr.\, a self-taught artist\, was born in 1940 in Texas\, grew up the Houston’s historic Fifth Ward and received his formal education from UCLA. Following a career as a master chef\, Long decided to devote himself entirely to art in 1979. He began to explore folk art and assemblage to create a unique body of work\, attracting the attention of Jim Harithas\, then Director of the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston\, and artists John Alexander\, Salvatore Scarpitta and James Surls. His life spanned an era of radical change in the American social climate\, the influence of which can be seen clearly in his work. Long’s paintings and sculptures incorporate a high level of skill and sophisticated knowledge of art history\, along with complex philosophical and social issues. Long describes the philosophy behind his work as “a quest to help people diagnose their inner self\,” believing his art to be “the vehicle to help facilitate [such a] process.” The late Peter Marzio\, former Director of the Museum of Fine Arts\, Houston\, said of Bert Long: “Bert Long does not avert his gaze from that which is painful\, but as [his artworks] testify\, he also brings a spirit of joy and redemption to his art. We can all learn from this great artist.” Over Long’s 33-year career as a painter\, sculptor\, and photographer\, he was awarded several significant awards including the National Endowment for the Arts Grant in 1987 and the prestigious Prix de Rome fellowship in 1990. \n  \nJesse Lott is an African-American sculptor of great distinction and a long time 5th Ward\, Houston resident\, who began his artistic career creating and selling his works as a student at E.O. Smith Elementary School in 1957. Jesse Lott works in paper\, metal\, and wood as well as working with armatures and wire\, all the while building with his artistry a capacity for emotional power. His technique is derived from collecting and recycling discarded materials\, as a type of urban archeology fused with scientific methodology. He has influenced many artists\, including Texans as well known as James Surls\, Bert Long Jr. and Angelbert Metoyer. The all-ages workshops that he has held over the years in his studio as a community service have inspired many students who would otherwise have no exposure to art. Lott’s community-oriented philosophy and his Artists in Action program helped spark the creation of the now famous Project Row Houses.” \n  \nSharon Kopriva is a Houston native. Her career launched in 1985 with the exhibition Fresh Paint at the Museum of Fine Arts\, Houston. In the past 25 years she has exhibited her art in major cities in the United States\, Mexico\, Peru\, India\, Cuba\, China\, and Europe. In addition to her participation in Fresh Paint – The Houston School\, her most notable exhibitions include a solo show curated by the legendary Walter Hopps at The Menil Collection in 2001 and a retrospective of her work shown at the Ogden Museum of Southern Art\, curated by Bradley Sumrall in 2012\, entitled From Terra to Verde. Kopriva is deeply influenced by a varied set of inspirations\, including her Catholic upbringing\, the wonders of nature\, and her continued spiritual journey. \n  \nKermit Oliver was born in Refugio\, Texas\, the son and grandson of African American working cowboys.

With no formal art education\, he began making art in 1969\, and in 1976 was given his first solo exhibition at the Contemporary Art Museum\, Houston. In 1983 Prince founded the Praise God Foundation. His body of work is unusual in its’ freedom from the machinations and impurities of the art world and represents man’s higher spiritual aspirations. In addition to his Christian religious work\, Prince’s artwork is also concerned with political and social issues.

SUMMARY:Dick Wray: Select Works
DESCRIPTION:Foundations III: Part 2 \nCosmic Attraction: Works by Dorothy Hood and Don Redman \nBasilios Poulos: A Moment in Time \nDick Wray: Select Works \nNovember 10\, 2018 to January 5\, 2019 \nOpening Reception: Saturday\, November 10\, 2018  5:00 to 8:00 pm \nPlease join us for the second part of our Foundations Series exhibitions this fall season! \n  \nAs one of the early Texas abstract artists\, Dorothy Hood was born in Bryan\, Texas in 1918. Hood was raised in Houston and won a scholarship to the Rhode Island School of Design and then studied at the Art Students League in New York. Moving to Mexico\, Dorothy Hood was front and center in the cultural\, political\, and social activity of Mexico and Latin America during a period of intense creative ferment. She developed close friendships with all the European exiles\, Latin American surrealists\, and Mexican social realists of the time — artists\, composers\, poets\, playwrights\, and revolutionary writers that influenced her art. Upon returning to Houston in 1961\, Hood started to create the epic paintings that evoked the limitless skies and psychic voids of space\, years ahead of NASA images. Over the next four decades\, she became a renowned and highly collected Texas painter whose works were collected across the United States. Her works are included in over 30 major museums throughout the United States\, as well as the collections of many individuals\, corporations and foundations. \nA large-scale exhibition of Hood’s opened in 2016 at the Art Museum of South Texas in Corpus Christi\, which marked the first major retrospective of her artwork and included paintings\, drawings and collages from the 1930s to 2000.  Dorothy Hood’s work is currently being featured in the Museum of Fine Arts – Houston exhibition\, Kindred Spirits: Louise Nevelson & Dorothy Hood. Deborah Colton Gallery re-introduced Hood’s work to Houston in September of 2016 with a magnificent booth featuring Hoods work at the Houston Fine Arts Fair\, then in a solo exhibition of her work at Deborah Colton Gallery in November 2016 to January 2017. Dorothy Hood’s work has also been exhibited in major group exhibitions at Deborah Colton Gallery including Focus on the 70’s and 80’s Houston Foundations II in 2017\, which included 26 well-known artists who contributed to the vibrant Houston art scene during this era.  Hood was also included in the 20th anniversary exhibition of Deborah Colton Galley\, DCG Looking Back and Beyond earlier this year. \n  \nDon Redman was born in Houston and spent much of his childhood near the Gulf of Mexico. His father was a ship builder and provided him his first opportunities to work with steel\, while his mother supplied him with stockpiles of wood with which he could carve\, saw and paint. After attending the High School for the Performing and Visual Arts and the Art Institute of San Francisco\, he was fortunate to become the apprentice to several internationally recognized artists; among them Luis Jimenez\, James Surls\, and Salvatore Scarpitta. Over his forty plus years as a sculptor\, his work has grown from a fascination with kinetics to a more subtle utilization of movement created by light. His sculptures are in public\, private\, and corporate art collections throughout the United States and around the world. \nDon Redman was first shown at Deborah Colton Gallery during Focus on the 70’s and 80’s: Houston Foundations II. Since then Redman has also been featured in the 20th anniversary exhibition of Deborah Colton Gallery\, Looking Back and Beyond in February 2018. \n  \nBasilios Poulos came to Houston in 1975 from New York to be Artist-in-Residence at Rice University. He was born in South Carolina and went to the Atlanta School of Art for his BFA and Tulane University for his MFA. His many art career honors include French Government Grant from 1965-1966\, Guggenheim Fellowship 1974\, Artist Residency at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts\, Paris 1983\, and Visiting Professor for the University of Georgia Studies Abroad Program\, Cortona\, Italy 1997. His solo exhibitions in Paris\, Athens\, New York City\, Atlanta\, San Francisco\, New Orleans\, Houston and others comprise forty-eight years of painting. Retiring from teaching at Rice University in 2008\, Poulos has continued to paint in his Houston studio. \nBasilios Poulos first exhibited at Deborah Colton Gallery during September – October 2017 in Focus on the 70’s and 80’s: Houston Foundations II. A Moment in Time is Basilios Poulos’ first solo exhibition at Deborah Colton Gallery and features his works from the 80’s.  These paintings are about mark-making\, whereby Poulos creates singular pictorial imagery that is not about storytelling. The beautiful colors are the carrier of emotion with the acrylic paint applied by brush and squeegee. The painting is the image.  Now and in the past\, Basilios Poulos has always strived to make beautiful and provocative paintings that are open and accessible. \n  \nA native Houstonian born in 1933\, Dick Wray\, was an artist of incomparable talent and personality who played a critical role in the development of Houston’s contemporary art scene since the 1950s.  Often categorized as an Abstract Expressionist\, Wray is best known for his explosive and dynamic abstractions that received numerous accolades from Houston’s critical community as well as notable arts figures across the United States throughout his career.  Wray attended the University of Houston’s School of Architecture followed by the Kunstakademie\, Dusseldorf\, Germany. Returning to Houston in 1959\, he began seriously working as an artist.  Over the next fifty years\, he participated in a large number of important exhibitions nationally\, including his first solo exhibition at the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston in 1975.  Dick Wray was an instructor at the Glassell School of Art from 1968 until 1982.  Wray was awarded the Ford Foundation purchase prize in 1962\, a prestigious Artist’s Grant from the National Endowment for the Arts in 1978 and named Texas Artist of the Year by the Art League of Houston in 2000.  His work is in major collections\, including the Albright Knox Museum\, Buffalo\, National Gallery of Art in Washington\, D.C.\, the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth\, the Museum of Fine Arts and the Contemporary Art Museum of Houston and the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. \nThe works of Dick Wray were first shown at Deborah Colton Gallery during Focus on the 70’s and 80’s: Houston Foundations II. Dick Wray’s work was also featured in DCG Looking Back and Beyond in 2018.  A comprehensive solo exhibition of Dick Wray’s work will take place at Deborah Colton Gallery in September – October 2019. \n  \nThese three exhibitions are the second part of Deborah Colton Gallery’s Foundation III exhibition\, with the recent Identifiably Houston being the first part. Deborah 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.

Hood was raised in Houston and won a scholarship to the Rhode Island School of Design and then studied at the Art Students League in New York. Moving to Mexico\, Dorothy Hood was front and center in the cultural\, political\, and social activity of Mexico and Latin America during a period of intense creative ferment. She developed close friendships with all the European exiles\, Latin American surrealists\, and Mexican social realists of the time — artists\, composers\, poets\, playwrights\, and revolutionary writers that influenced her art. Upon returning to Houston in 1961\, Hood started to create the epic paintings that evoked the limitless skies and psychic voids of space\, years ahead of NASA images. Over the next four decades\, she became a renowned and highly collected Texas painter whose works were collected across the United States. Her works are included in over 30 major museums throughout the United States\, as well as the collections of many individuals\, corporations and foundations. \nA large-scale exhibition of Hood’s opened in 2016 at the Art Museum of South Texas in Corpus Christi\, which marked the first major retrospective of her artwork and included paintings\, drawings and collages from the 1930s to 2000.  Dorothy Hood’s work is currently being featured in the Museum of Fine Arts – Houston exhibition\, Kindred Spirits: Louise Nevelson & Dorothy Hood. Deborah Colton Gallery re-introduced Hood’s work to Houston in September of 2016 with a magnificent booth featuring Hoods work at the Houston Fine Arts Fair\, then in a solo exhibition of her work at Deborah Colton Gallery in November 2016 to January 2017. Dorothy Hood’s work has also been exhibited in major group exhibitions at Deborah Colton Gallery including Focus on the 70’s and 80’s Houston Foundations II in 2017\, which included 26 well-known artists who contributed to the vibrant Houston art scene during this era.  Hood was also included in the 20th anniversary exhibition of Deborah Colton Galley\, DCG Looking Back and Beyond earlier this year. \n  \nDon Redman was born in Houston and spent much of his childhood near the Gulf of Mexico. His father was a ship builder and provided him his first opportunities to work with steel\, while his mother supplied him with stockpiles of wood with which he could carve\, saw and paint. After attending the High School for the Performing and Visual Arts and the Art Institute of San Francisco\, he was fortunate to become the apprentice to several internationally recognized artists; among them Luis Jimenez\, James Surls\, and Salvatore Scarpitta. Over his forty plus years as a sculptor\, his work has grown from a fascination with kinetics to a more subtle utilization of movement created by light. His sculptures are in public\, private\, and corporate art collections throughout the United States and around the world. \nDon Redman was first shown at Deborah Colton Gallery during Focus on the 70’s and 80’s: Houston Foundations II. Since then Redman has also been featured in the 20th anniversary exhibition of Deborah Colton Gallery\, Looking Back and Beyond in February 2018. \n  \nBasilios Poulos came to Houston in 1975 from New York to be Artist-in-Residence at Rice University. He was born in South Carolina and went to the Atlanta School of Art for his BFA and Tulane University for his MFA. His many art career honors include French Government Grant from 1965-1966\, Guggenheim Fellowship 1974\, Artist Residency at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts\, Paris 1983\, and Visiting Professor for the University of Georgia Studies Abroad Program\, Cortona\, Italy 1997. His solo exhibitions in Paris\, Athens\, New York City\, Atlanta\, San Francisco\, New Orleans\, Houston and others comprise forty-eight years of painting. Retiring from teaching at Rice University in 2008\, Poulos has continued to paint in his Houston studio. \nBasilios Poulos first exhibited at Deborah Colton Gallery during September – October 2017 in Focus on the 70’s and 80’s: Houston Foundations II. A Moment in Time is Basilios Poulos’ first solo exhibition at Deborah Colton Gallery and features his works from the 80’s.  These paintings are about mark-making\, whereby Poulos creates singular pictorial imagery that is not about storytelling. The beautiful colors are the carrier of emotion with the acrylic paint applied by brush and squeegee. The painting is the image.  Now and in the past\, Basilios Poulos has always strived to make beautiful and provocative paintings that are open and accessible. \n  \nA native Houstonian born in 1933\, Dick Wray\, was an artist of incomparable talent and personality who played a critical role in the development of Houston’s contemporary art scene since the 1950s.  Often categorized as an Abstract Expressionist\, Wray is best known for his explosive and dynamic abstractions that received numerous accolades from Houston’s critical community as well as notable arts figures across the United States throughout his career.  Wray attended the University of Houston’s School of Architecture followed by the Kunstakademie\, Dusseldorf\, Germany. Returning to Houston in 1959\, he began seriously working as an artist.  Over the next fifty years\, he participated in a large number of important exhibitions nationally\, including his first solo exhibition at the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston in 1975.  Dick Wray was an instructor at the Glassell School of Art from 1968 until 1982.  Wray was awarded the Ford Foundation purchase prize in 1962\, a prestigious Artist’s Grant from the National Endowment for the Arts in 1978 and named Texas Artist of the Year by the Art League of Houston in 2000.  His work is in major collections\, including the Albright Knox Museum\, Buffalo\, National Gallery of Art in Washington\, D.C.\, the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth\, the Museum of Fine Arts and the Contemporary Art Museum of Houston and the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. \nThe works of Dick Wray were first shown at Deborah Colton Gallery during Focus on the 70’s and 80’s: Houston Foundations II. Dick Wray’s work was also featured in DCG Looking Back and Beyond in 2018.  A comprehensive solo exhibition of Dick Wray’s work will take place at Deborah Colton Gallery in September – October 2019. \n  \nThese three exhibitions are the second part of Deborah Colton Gallery’s Foundation III exhibition\, with the recent Identifiably Houston being the first part. Deborah 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 and to help Houston become a leading destination city of the arts. \nSince 2013 especially\, Deborah Colton Gallery has had a strong focus on establishing HOUSTON FOUNDATIONS\, which reveres our city’s artistic roots. By understanding where we came from\, we can build on this foundation to become an even more dynamic and empowered “City of the Future” in the national and international art world. Deborah Colton Gallery’s Foundations I was Suzanne Paul’s PROOF exhibition in 2016\, which the gallery actually started researching over a decade earlier when it started to house this important archive after Suzanne Paul’s passing. Suzanne Paul’s archives are the most comprehensive photographic documentation of Houston art scene from the 1970’s to 2005.  September – October of 2017\, Deborah Colton Gallery organized and exhibited Foundations II: Focus on the 70’s & 80’s which featured 26 of the most significant artists of that time period who have made a major impact on who we are as an art city today. The Foundations Symposium Series of panels and lectures was part of this exhibition. Deborah Colton Gallery has a permanent Foundations Room in the back of the gallery that highlights Suzanne Paul’s photographs of the Houston art scene plus a video excerpt of our Foundations Symposium Series from 2017. The video was created by Lee Benner. There also is a library of publications on Houston artists. \n  \nFor more information on our Foundations Projects\, please access our website. \n  Save

SUMMARY:James Britton
DESCRIPTION:A devoted student of the natural sublime\, portraiture\, and visual criticism\, Connecticut-born artist James Britton gave his life to art. He was a prolific writer and note taker\, keeping detailed journals of his observations and notes on his life. These writings have compelled curators and historians to revisit his work\, having fallen into relative obscurity after his death in 1936\, a victim of ailing health and poverty. Despite his meager financial resources\, he used whatever tools and materials were available to him\, at times using scraps of cereal boxes as canvases for his paintings. He held a deep affection for the splendor of the New England countryside\, from Connecticut to New York\, and focused primarily on these subjects in the later years of his life. The 10 works on view in James Britton highlight the artist’s command of paint and light. None larger than a sheet of paper\, each painting reveals itself to be an exquisite object\, inviting closer inspection. Through this small survey of his later works\, we are given a glimpse into the artist’s celebration of the American Northeast of the 1920s and 30s. \n\n\nJames Britton (1878 – 1936) was born in Hartford\, Connecticut. Active in New York and New England from the 1900s to the 1930s\, Britton was well known as both an artist and a writer. In New York\, Britton formed an exhibiting group of artists called The Eclectics\, which included at times Maurice Prendergast\, George Luks\, Philip L. Hale and Theresa Bernstein. His work was exhibited regularly in New York City\, Connecticut\, Boston\, and Gloucester\, Massachusetts.  In addition to his published writings in American ART News and other periodicals and journals\, Britton maintained diaries over some 30 years. Britton’s papers are now at the Smithsonian Institution’s Archives of American Art. In 2005\, James Britton: Connecticut Artist\, was assembled at the Lyman Allyn Art Museum in New London\, CT. His work is included in such collections as the Wadsworth Atheneum\, the New Britain Museum of American Art\, the Florence Griswold Museum\, The Mark Twain House and Museum\, The Parrish Art Museum\, and The New York Public Library. This show marks the first time the work of James Britton has been exhibited in Washington\, DC. \n\n  Save

SUMMARY:Photographs from the Tom Birch Collection
DESCRIPTION:There is something inherently strange about a photograph: its pretense of veracity\, the illusion of an unpremeditated subject\, and the feeling of an unmediated presence. Herein lies the beauty of the medium and the opportunity for collecting photographs to become an adventure. A collection of photographs can tell us many things. In the best photography collections\, each photograph is a knot on a thread leading to ever deeper and more penetrating experiences of beauty. Sometimes it is an elusive beauty captured from the real world. Other times beauty is exposed within something boring\, horrible or shocking\, revealed by the craft of the photographer and the willingness of the viewer to engage. \nThe Tom Birch Collection tells us he collected fearlessly\, always reaching for the next new beauty. In reviewing personal collections one becomes used to seeing the predictable pantomiming of the reassuring qualities of the museum’s canon. One sees collections based on themes that barely recognize the inner dynamic of individual artworks. Some collections reflect only the desire to soothe\, never to challenge\, when so much more can be experienced. It is clear Tom Birch was spurred onward by a willingness to explore the widest range of what photography had to offer. This manner of collecting nudges the idea of taste away from a fixed set of rules into an evolving narrative of personal discovery. For Tom\, each photograph is a moment on a clock spinning backwards through his life\, telling him of the places his consciousness occupied before and then after acquiring each picture. \nSome collections are broken up among heirs\, some rightly go to institutions\, and others are sold. In the selling of the Birch collection there is the goal of setting the artworks free to travel into the hearts and minds of other people\, expanding their experiences of strange and wonderful beauty. Now\, it is time for each of the photographs to become milestones in other collectors’ lives. \n  Save

SUMMARY:Rive by Jon Verney
DESCRIPTION:RIVE: A PHOTOGRAPHY EXHIBITION \nJon Verney a photographer whose work engages in manipulated found imagery\, an interplay between the images of forgotten amateur photographers and the powerful sensation of abstract colors and fractal patterns and reticulation of the original. \nHis work is a reiteration of the dadaist practice of found objects and their subsequent metamorphoses after entering his possession. Using the contemporary material that is a Polaroid and subjecting them to methods of tangible and controllable manipulation of the photographic emulsion\, Verney draws out of them the untapped potential that lay dormant. \nHe sources his materials\, the Polaroids\, from flea markets\, shops\, or bought in bulk online. Blowing these small personal images up to a large scale reinvents the originals into something unintended at their initial creation\, giving a commentary on personal versus public. \nThe disassociation with the subjects and the original photographers’\, whose work allows Verney the ability to create his work\, mirrors that of Jacqui Kenny or Doug Rickard and their respective use of Google Street View\, a global resource allowing those two photographers to create artwork from the comfort of their own homes using the resources of our modern society. \nThe subject of this body of work\, Rive\, engages in the theme of a schism\, a fault line\, a separation of two worlds that butt up against one another\, like the waves of the ocean lapping against the shore. The banal common-place nature of these amateur photographs is at the same time both obscured behind\, and obscuring the organic blooms of his manipulations\, giving the sensation of a reciprocity between reality and surreality. \nJoin us for the Opening Reception! \nThursday\, February 7\, 2019 from 6:00-8:00pm \nMake sure to also stop by the Artist Talk! \nThursday\, April 18\, 2019 from 6:00-7:00pm \nJon Verney is a visual artist whose practice interweaves the materiality of painting\, photography\, and film. After earning a BFA with Distinction in Painting from Massachusetts College of Art and Design in 2010\, he relocated to Florence\, Italy\, where he attended SACI’s Post-Baccalaureate studio program. He was afterwards awarded a SACI Photo/Media Teaching Assistantship and remained at the school for two more years as a TA and darkroom technician. Upon returning to the United States\, he received his MFA from the Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan in 2016. Verney has exhibited his work nationally and internationally and has attended artist residencies at the Vermont Studio Center\, the Studios at MASS MoCA\, Penland School of Craft\, and the Independent Imaging Retreat in Ontario\, Canada. His studio practice is based in North Adams\, Massachusetts. \n  Save

SUMMARY:Jasper Johns: Recent Paintings & Works on Paper
DESCRIPTION:Matthew Marks is pleased to announce Jasper Johns: Recent Paintings & Works on Paper\, the next exhibition in his gallery at 522 West 22nd Street. The exhibition includes fifteen paintings and twenty-three works on paper made since 2012. \nTwo 2018 paintings\, as well as a group of new drawings and monotypes\, are based on a photograph of a soldier\, Lance Corporal James Farley\, taken during the Vietnam War by LIFE magazine photographer Larry Burrows. The soldier is seen at the end of a long day\, head in his hands after a failed mission. Stenciled at the top and bottom of both canvases are the words “FARLEY BREAKS DOWN / AFTER LARRY BURROWS.” \nAlso on view are four paintings and two works on paper from the Regrets series\, all completed after the exhibition of the same name at the Museum of Modern Art\, New York\, in 2014. Like the Farley series\, they are based on an image of a man covering his face\, in this case a photograph of Lucian Freud seated on a bed. In the catalogue that accompanies the current exhibition\, Alexi Worth writes that these series both “show Johns breaking what seemed like foundational prohibitions against outright depiction and unguarded emotion.” The artist’s willingness to contradict himself may account for the perpetual surprises in his long career. “I think you can be more than one person\,” Johns has said. “I think I am more than one person. Unfortunately.” \nIn two other new paintings\, Johns revisits his Seasons paintings of the mid-1980s. Like them\, the new canvases feature the artist’s shadow flanked by motifs from his earlier work. In the 2018 paintings\, however\, the shadow is overlaid with a skeleton wearing a hat. Accompanying these paintings are five related works on paper\, including drawings in ink and charcoal on paper or ink on plastic\, as well as several prints. \nIn October 2020\, Johns’s work will be the subject of a major retrospective at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York and the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Shown at both institutions simultaneously\, it will be the artist’s most comprehensive exhibition to date. \nJasper Johns: Recent Paintings & Works on Paper is on view at 522 West 22nd Street from February 9 to April 6\, 2019\, Tuesday through Saturday\, from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM. \nFor additional information\, please contact Jacqueline Tran at 212-243-0200 or jacqueline@matthewmarks.com. \n  Save

SUMMARY:David Weiss: Drawings
DESCRIPTION:Matthew Marks is pleased to announce David Weiss Drawings\, the next exhibition in his gallery at 523 West 24th Street. The exhibition presents a cross-section of the artist’s works on paper made between the late 1960s and the early 1980s\, before he began collaborating with Peter Fischli. \nIn those early years David Weiss (1946–2012) explored a range of visual idioms with the same playful curiosity that infused his later collaborative work with Fischli. Some of the earliest drawings were made during his extensive travels from his native Switzerland to London\, Montreal\, New York\, San Francisco\, Los Angeles\, Mexico\, Morocco\, and Italy. Many of them convey this restless spirit\, particularly the multi-sheet Metamorphoses\, with their hallucinatory transformations of free-associated images\, or his World Mapsdrawings\, which depict the earth’s major landmasses with affectionate looseness. \nThe over fifty drawings in the exhibition are executed in a variety of media and in a wide range of sizes. Weiss’s love for underground and classic comics can be seen in the drawings of smoking Giacometti sculptures and flirtatious flowers. Rendered with cartoonish black lines on bright watercolor backgrounds\, they embody not only his absurdist humor but also his sense of wonder. As Barry Schwabsky writes in the accompanying catalogue\, “These works reflect a commitment neither to a particular type of subject matter\, nor to a particular way of drawing\, but rather to an exploration of drawing as such.” This exploration is clear in the Neocolor series\, with its colorful sgraffito marks in oil pastel\, and the Women series\, a showcase of brushwork techniques in ink and watercolor. \nDavid Weiss was born in Zurich and had his first exhibition in Bern in 1970. His early drawings were the focus of a 2014 survey at the Bündner Kunstmuseum in Chur\, Switzerland\, which traveled to the Swiss Institute in New York in 2014–15. His creative collaboration with Peter Fischli\, which began in 1979 and lasted until the end of Weiss’s life\, yielded a celebrated and enormously influential body of work that has been the subject of numerous museum exhibitions around the world\, including\, most recently\, “Peter Fischli David Weiss: How to Work Better” at the Guggenheim Museum in New York in 2016. \nDavid Weiss Drawings is on view at 523 West 24th Street from February 9 to April 6\, 2019\, Tuesday through Saturday\, from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM. \nFor additional information\, please contact Stephanie Dorsey at 212-243-0200 or stephanie@matthewmarks.com. \n  Save

SUMMARY:Drawing for Print: Mind Fucks\, Kultur Klashes\, Pulp Fiction & Pulp Fact by the Illustrious R. Crumb
DESCRIPTION:David Zwirner is pleased to present an exhibition organized by Robert Storr that examines the mind and career of R. Crumb. The  exhibition will feature a wide array of printed matter culled from the artist’s archive: tear sheets of drawings  and comics\, taken directly from the publications where the works first appeared\, as well as related ephemera. These often fragile works on paper will be installed across the walls of the gallery’s 519 West 19th Street space in New York. Further illuminating Crumb’s practice\, the show will also feature a selection of rare sketchbooks and original drawings by the artist. \nImage: Installation view\, Drawing for Print: Mind Fucks\, Kultur Klashes\, Pulp Fiction & Pulp Fact by the Illustrious R.

SUMMARY:The Young and Evil
DESCRIPTION:David Zwirner is pleased to present The Young and Evil\, a group exhibition curated by Jarrett Earnest\, at the gallery’s 533 West 19th Street location in New York. The exhibition will feature significant works from the first half of the twentieth century by Paul Cadmus\, Fidelma Cadmus Kirstein\, Charles Henri Ford\, Jared French\, Margaret Hoening French\, George Platt Lynes\, Bernard Perlin\, Pavel Tchelitchew\, George Tooker\, Jensen Yow\, and their circle. This group of artists and writers looked away from abstraction toward older sources and models—classical and archaic forms of figuration and Renaissance techniques. What might be seen as a reactionary aesthetic maneuver was made in the service of radical content—endeavoring to depict their own lives. \nDrawn from important public and private collections\, key works include a painting from Paul Cadmus’s infamous sailor trilogy\, Shore Leave (1933)\, on loan from the Whitney Museum of American Art; a major canvas by Pavel Tchelitchew featuring vignettes of George Platt Lynes at work; rare paintings by Margaret French and works on paper by Fidelma Cadmus Kirstein; and never-before-seen erotic drawings and photographs from the Kinsey Institute at Indiana University. On the occasion of the exhibition\, a fully illustrated\, comprehensive catalogue featuring new scholarship by art historians Ann Reynolds and Kenneth E. Silver is forthcoming from David Zwirner Books. \nKindly note that some material in the exhibition may not be suitable for children. \nImage: Installation view\, The Young and Evil\, David Zwirner\, New York\, 2019 \n  Save
