SUMMARY:Jill Moser
DESCRIPTION:Kathryn Markel Fine Arts is thrilled to present Jill Moser’s Talking Pictures: Collaborations\, an exhibition of 40 of Moser’s painted collages that form the basis of her new book project. For Talking Pictures: Collaborations\, Moser asked friends and colleagues to create a dialogue with one of her painted collages. Poets\, artists\, journalists\, critics\, curators\, art historians\, novelists\, psychoanalysts accepted the invitation\, forming a chorus that plays along the border of the visual and the verbal. This exhibition presents the painted collages alongside each contributor’s response. An audio recording of their texts accompanies the show. \n\nWith a forward by Elena Karina Byrne\, the chorus includes: Tiffany Bell\, Ágnes Berecz\, Star Black\, Charles Bernstein\, Jon Bowermaster\, Barbara Bloemink\, Giuliana Bruno\, Jesse Browner\, Lee Eiferman\, Corinne Erni\, Aniko Erdosi\, Stephen Frailey\, Laurence Hegarty\, Christopher French\, Mary Heilmann\, David Humphrey\, Didi Jackson\, Major Jackson\, Susan Lewis\, David Lichtenstein\, Mary Lucier\, Tim Maul\, Alison Mitchell\, Milos Zahradka Maiorana\, Jennifer McGregor\, Sarah Greenberg Morse\, Paul Muldoon\, Eric Pankey\, Anne Plettener\, Nancy Princenthal\, Manya Steinkoler\, Laurie Sheck\, Adam Simon\, Chase Twichell\, Terrie Sultan\, Eliza Walton\, Stephen Westfall\, Lilly Wei\, Karen Wilkin\, Lila Zemborain. \n\nMoser began painting these small\, intense collages at the start of the pandemic and now\, five years later\, they have become the atlas of images for all her work. In these painted collages\, gestural line\, the hallmark of Moser’s work for decades\, generates forms and volumetric spaces saturated in vivid and often startling color. \n\nTalking Pictures reflects Moser’s long-standing interest in the interplay of language and image.  a language of drawing\, painting\, and printmaking that resists figuration to celebrate visual narratives.Selections of her earlier collaborative work with poets  will be on view in the Pocket Gallery. \nJill Moser’s paintings\, drawings\, prints\, and artist’s books have been exhibited in galleries and museums throughout the United States and featured in prominent collections\, including The Metropolitan Museum of Art\, The Museum of Modern Art\, The Museum of Fine Arts Houston\, The National Gallery of Art\, The Yale University Art Gallery\, The Fogg Art Gallery and The National Library of France. \n\nMoser has made numerous print editions and series\, most recently with Bleu Acier\, Jungle Press\, Manneken Press and Oehme Graphics.  She continues to work collaboratively on projects with poets\, artists\, designers\, and architects. She has taught at Princeton University\, Virginia Commonwealth University\, SUNY and The School of Visual Arts. Jill Moser lives and works in New York.

SUMMARY:Monica Banks: Secret Harmonies
DESCRIPTION:Kathryn Markel Fine Arts is pleased to announce Secret Harmonies\, an installation of new porcelain sculptures by Monica Banks. This will be her second solo exhibition with the gallery. An opening reception will be held on January 15th from 6-8pm. \nBanks’ porcelain botanical sculptures take over The Pocket Gallery in this room-sized installation. Modeling from life\, she creates delicate\, detailed portraits of flowers in various stages of life. Randomly hung\, as if in motion\, the artist thinks of them as\, “though they had blown in from the garden.”  They float on the wall as if weightless and their muted glazing adds a soft\, almost wispyness to the solid ceramic forms. \nBanks sculpts to scale and will observe one subject multiple times\, effectively creating snapshots of its brief lifespan as it buds\, blossoms\, wilts\, and dies. The installation serves as a three dimensional chronograph\, where one can trace a bloom’s journey from bud to decay. \nThis process\, “is an attempt to portray the logic and imperfections of blossoms.” She adds in non botanical elements from her previous tableware series such as forks\, spoons\, ladders\, and buttons to incorporate subconscious associations into this subject matter. A touch of surrealism enters the work in some pieces as petals emerge from stemmed tableware as they swirl amidst the flowers. Banks’ inclusion of these also places her work firmly in still life tradition; a wild vanitas of sorts. \nMonica Banks is based in East Hampton\, NY and has been exhibiting sculpture and creating site-specific installations since 1989. She has exhibited at the New Britain Museum of American Art\, CT; The Heckscher Museum of Art\, NY; The Carriage House at Islip Art Museum\, NY; The Center for Architecture\, NYC; The Arkell Museum\, NY; The Church Sag Harbor\, NY; among others. Her work is held in permanent collections of The Parrish Art Museum\, NY;  UMCA at the University of Massachusetts\, The Islip Art Museum\, NY; LongHouse Reserve\, NY; The Leiber Collection\, NY; Peter Marino Art Foundation\, NY;  The Masur Museum of Art\, LA; and the Catherine Konner Sculpture Park\, NY. She won an award from the NYC Public Design Commission for “Faces: Times Square\,” a block-long sculpture which stood in Times Square from 1996-2009. Banks has created permanent public works in the Bronx\, NY; Binghamton\, NY; and Charlotte\, NC.

SUMMARY:Sara MacCulloch: Sun Fog Rain
DESCRIPTION:Kathryn Markel Fine Arts is pleased to announce Sun Fog Rain\, an exhibition of new paintings by Sara Maculloch. This will be her fourth solo exhibition with the gallery. An opening reception will be held on January 15 from 6-8pm. \nSara MacCulloch is a landscape painter who paints in order to capture the transient experiences of nature. She paints seasonally\, leaving her home in Toronto for the familiar vistas of Maine and Nova Scotia where she grew up. Summer days immersed in nature provide necessary relief from the challenges of today’s world.  As Maculloch says\, “Finding solace even in the bad weather\, in the skies made opaque from fog or forest fire smoke\, in the rain\, or despite the drought\, in the hot sun.” \nAll the small changes in time of day\, weather\, plant growth\, and shoreline variations interest her. With photos and sketches\, she absorbs the subtleties and feelings of a specific landscape and a specific experience. \nIn the fall\, she returns to her studio to paint. She paints with deliberation\, commits to each brushstroke strategically\, and completes most paintings in one sitting. If\, occasionally\, a painting doesn’t work in a day or two\, she scrapes it away and starts over.  Intuitive\, sensual brush strokes and a creamy palette create a sense of immediacy and clarity.  The resulting paintings are a distillation of the experience and an invitation to enter these spaces and share a precise moment. \nSara MacCulloch is based in Toronto and studied painting at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design. She exhibits extensively throughout Canada and  work is represented in various public and private collections including TD Bank\, Mayo Clinic\, Bank of Montreal\, the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia\, University of Toronto\, University of Iowa\, Department of Foreign Affairs\, Royal Bank of Canada\, and Gotlands Kunstmuseum\, SE. She has also received numerous grants and awards including the Canada council for the Arts and the Brucebo Scholarship in Gotland\, Sweden.

SUMMARY:Fran Shalom: Everyday Improvisations
DESCRIPTION:Kathryn Markel Fine Arts is pleased to announce Everyday Improvisations\, an exhibition of new abstract paintings by Fran Shalom. This will be her fifth solo exhibition with the gallery. An opening reception will be held on October 23 from 6-8pm. \nQuirky\, ambiguous figures inhabit Fran Shalom’s paintings. Their bright\, cartoony colors and buoyant forms fill each composition with playful energy. Her shapes\, while fully abstract\, reference the body and recognizable objects. She thinks of them as\, “ambiguous characters who inhabit my studio keeping me company and often engaging in silent conversation.”  Animated and boisterous Shalom’s characters are evocative of the familiar but remain just out of reach. \nA jaunty line meanders and encircles Shalom’s unruly shapes. Central forms and pared-down backgrounds echo icons. She gravitates to simple shapes and hard edges but builds depth through textured surfaces. Painting improvisationally\, she adds and subtracts – building\, wiping\, scraping\, and reshaping. This revealing and covering creates layered imagery. In many works\, fields of rich color are interrupted by traces of past hues and ghosts of earlier forms. \nFran Shalom has exhibited widely throughout the United States\, including solo shows at Fogg Art Museum\, Cambridge\, MA\, and Hunterdon Museum\, Clinton\, NJ. She is a recipient of the Pollock Krasner Foundation Grant and residencies at MacDowell Fellowship and Art Omi. Her work is included in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art\, the Brooklyn Museum\, the Rose Art Museum\, and the Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris. She is represented by Kathryn Markel Fine Arts.

SUMMARY:Deborah Zlotsky: Genealogies
DESCRIPTION:Kathryn Markel Fine Arts is pleased to announce an exhibition of new abstract paintings by Deborah Zlotsky\, Genealogies. This will be her sixth solo exhibition with the gallery. An opening reception will be held on September 11 from 6-8pm. \nZlotsky’s bold\, new paintings build upon the graphic power of stripes. Stripes structure patterns\, suggest cycles\, and signify caution. They create order and grace. They also announce\, in traditions of Western image-making\, people who were marginalized\, understood apart from mainstream culture. \nIn Zlotsky’s paintings\, stripes don’t always behave. Regular rectangular shapes mutate into dimensional\, biomorphic forms. Flat\, rigid shapes blur and sometimes become animated with fictional gravity\, invented light\, and trompe l’oeil passages like strings\, shadows\, and fleshy parts. These shifts call into question one’s perspective. What once appeared to be the background now pops into the foreground; what once felt weightless now presses down on a support structure; what was once hard-edged now softens into almost familiar\, life-like forms. \nHistory manifests itself in her work through drips and smears\, which act as records of time and wear. Zlotsky writes: “I’m interested in how history presses against the present and complicates how we understand both the present and the past. Abstraction provides a language of metaphor—as well as a sensory experience—for responding to the way we live on the surface of these continually accumulating pasts.” \nZlotsky is also showing new work in the exhibition The light gets in at McKenzie Fine Art\, NY\, from September 5–October 12\, with a reception from 6-8 on September 5. She received a 2019 Guggenheim Fellowship and NYFA Artist Fellowships in Painting in 2012 and 2018. Recent solo exhibitions include the Zillman Art Museum\, University of Maine\, Bangor\, ME; Sandler Hudson Gallery\, Atlanta\, GA; and Robischon Gallery\, Denver. Group shows include Spectrum at Kristen Lorello Gallery\, NY\, through August 15\, as well as past shows at Bernay Fine Art\, Great Barrington\, MA; Woodstock Art Museum\, Woodstock\, NY; Gallería Cadaqués\, Cadaqués\, Spain; Studio Art Center International Gallery (SACI)\, Florence\, Italy; Pierogi Gallery\, NYC; and the Tang Museum\, Skidmore College\, Saratoga Springs\, NY. Zlotsky has held residencies at the Bogliasco Foundation\, Yaddo\, and MacDowell. Her work is in numerous public and private collections. A Professor at the Rhode Island School of Design in Providence\, RI\, she lives in works in the Hudson Valley.

SUMMARY:Allyson Strafella: hillsdale
DESCRIPTION:Kathryn Markel Fine Arts is pleased to announce hillsdale\, an installation of works by Allyson Strafella. This will be her first exhibition with the gallery and will take place in the Pocket Gallery at 179 10th Avenue. An artist reception will be held on September 11 from 6-8pm. \nAllyson Strafella has been drawing with a typewriter since 1992. She began drawing out of the need to communicate; to find her own language. hillsdale is a collection of drawings that reflect Strafella’s view of her surrounding landscape in Columbia County\, NY. \nUsing a typewriter as a drawing tool\, Strafella builds up repetitive punctuation marks to create forms. Working with handmade pigmented paper provides a greater resource of color and scale; carbon and transfer paper are the primary medium used to imbed those marks into paper. \nWriting with a typewriter\, a mechanized tool to keep up with her thoughts\, she employs no rules of the written language. Strafella has\, “developed marks that are my visual language: a drawing language ‘written’ by type\, and a written language drawn as mark and form.” The typed images hover between the abstracted familiar\, and the intimately far-away. Through the practice of drawing\, she aims to clarify the complexities of the world she lives in. \nAllyson Strafella  received her BFA from The Museum School of Fine Arts and Tufts University in 1993. Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally. Strafella’s work is in both private and public collections including The Museum of Modern Art\, NYC; The Metropolitan Museum of Art\, NYC; The Hammer Museum\, CA; The Morgan Library & Museum\, NY; Yale Art Museum\, CT;  The Fogg Art Museum\, MA; The Walker Center\, MN amongst several others.  She is a recipient of the Pollock-Krasner Foundation (1999\, 2025)\, The John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation (2002)\, Adolph and Esther Gottlieb Foundation (2017)\, Sustainable Arts Foundation (2017)\, Artists Resource Trust (2017)\, New York Foundation for the Arts (2001\, 2011)\, The Martha Boschen Porter Fund (2015). She lives and works in Hudson\, New York.

SUMMARY:Susan Mastrangelo: The Beat Goes On
DESCRIPTION:Kathryn Markel Fine Arts is pleased to announce an exhibition of recent paintings by Susan Mastrangelos\, The Beat Goes On. This will be her first solo exhibition with the gallery and will take place in The Pocket Gallery at 179 10th Avenue. An opening reception will be held on June 26th from 6-8pm. \nMastrangelo’s paintings are boldly sculptural\, utilizing a variety of media to produce their abstract\, biomorphic forms. Throughout her career\, Mastrangelo’s oeuvre has shifted between abstraction and figuration and the most recent works marry the two. These paintings\, while fully abstract\, reference the body and its connection to making. Each canvas is a riot of color and texture as bold\, bright hues intersect patterned textiles and loops of braided cords.  \nHer assemblage-like paintings begin by creating a lyrical abstraction with upholstery cord. These looping shapes create a rhythm within the paintings as they swirl and meander through her world of pattern and color. Net-like\, knitted yarn stretches over passages and twists around forms. Repetition and pattern appear throughout each canvas furthering the energy and rhythm that hums within each. \nCraft takes center stage in these works through large swaths of knitting. Mastrangelo explains the importance of this medium\, “My grandmother taught me to knit\, and consequently\, the act of knitting has always brought me great comfort. The repetitive act of building one stitch upon another seems to synchronize with the beating of my own heart while I imagine it working to create a protective tissue inducing an internal healing process.” Working meditatively and intuitively through repeated motions and layered processes\, she composes tender\, emotive scenes.

SUMMARY:Marilla Palmer: Ecstatic Earth
DESCRIPTION:Kathryn Markel Fine Arts is pleased to announce Ecstatic Earth\, featuring new paintings by Marilla Palmer. This will be her sixth solo exhibition with the gallery. A reception will be held on June 26th from 6-8pm. \nPalmer’s mixed-media works immortalize the temporality of nature. In all her work\, but particularly the newest works on panel\, nature is exalted in shimmering details that shift with light and movement. This is the first exhibition of her botanical paintings on panel\, and also the first to include an underwater scene. \nHer deceptively serious still lifes become playful\, fantastical tableaus upon closer inspection. Delicate watercolor brushstrokes are accompanied by plastic sequins\, dried petals\, sumptuous fabrics\, gold leaf\, and more. This juxtaposition is both humorous and lovely\, theatrical and erudite. Palmer cultivates her own garden that she observes for both inspiration and material. She explains\, “Working so directly with nature makes it feel like I’m collaborating\, but with an unpredictable partner. Who knows what will appear in my studio garden? How will the petals change when pressed or if the wet watercolor\, interference paint or sequins will capture the ecstasy of what I see?” \nGlittering collage elements and iridescent backgrounds add movement and lively energy to the static depictions and signify the growth and life associated with the imagery. In the work\, insects\, flowers\, and leaves are frozen in time\, their impending end suggested in the dried petals and leaves the artist incorporates. Tendrils stretch across the surface as if reaching for the sun. In her statement\, when contemplating mother nature\, the artist quotes Goethe\, “We live in her midst and know her not. She is incessantly speaking to us\, but betrays not her secret.” Palmer preserves the ephemeral and depicts exuberant abundance all at once. \nMarilla Palmer lives and works in Brooklyn\, NY and Connecticut.  Her work has been exhibited at the Brooklyn Museum\, Brooklyn Academy of Music\, Carlsbad Museum and Art Center\, MoMA PS1\, and extensively among other galleries and institutions throughout the United States.. She received her B.F.A from the Philadelphia College of Art.

SUMMARY:Eric Blum
DESCRIPTION:Kathryn Markel Fine Arts is pleased to announce an upcoming exhibition of new paintings by Eric Blum. This will be his fourth solo exhibition with the gallery and an artist reception will be held on May 22 from 6-8pm. \nBlum creates abstract compositions through a layered\, intuitive process of adding and subtracting thinly inked sheets of silk to panel. Between each layer Blum seals the silk with beeswax. As he works\, the compositions\, initially based on a loose drawing\, change and darken. Working on multiple paintings at once\, Blum’s practice relies on process as he covers and uncovers\, overlaps\, cuts\, and turns the panel in different orientations.  The resulting moody\, often monochromatic abstractions are Blum’s way of capturing the unknown. In the artist’s own words. “I grope around for something unfamiliar to my own eye\, as if made by the hand of a stranger\, with equal parts awkwardness\, serenity\, subversion and evocative inscrutability.” \n  \nLight and dark are at the heart of Blum’s visual language making the paintings feel connected to photographic or optical imagery. The work in this exhibition has more color and larger central forms than in previous paintings. In some\, colored inks bleed together whereas in others\, deep colors formed from the overlapping of many layers contrast with sheer\, light shapes. The paintings with less or light color are airy and fresh; their fractured forms more graphic. The wax creates a texture and depth to the surface and along with the deep colors and fluidity of ink creates a feeling of looking up from underwater. \n  \nEric Blum is a recipient of two grants from the Pollock-Krasner Foundation\, as well as one from the New York Foundation for the Arts. His work has been featured in shows at the Albright-Knox Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art\, the Knoxville Art Museum\, and The Contemporary Art Center of Cincinnati\, among other institutions. Blum studied photography at UCLA\, and currently lives and works in New York City and Los Angeles.

SUMMARY:Anthony Falcetta: Inverse Certainties
DESCRIPTION:Kathryn Markel Fine Arts  is pleased to present Inverse Certainties\, an exhibition of paintings by Anthony Falcetta. This is the artist’s first solo exhibition with the gallery and will take place in The Pocket Gallery at 179 10th Avenue. An artist reception will be held on May 22nd from 6-8pm.  \nFalcetta’s paintings are abstract explorations of surface\, color and space. He paints intuitively and in layers to conceal\, expose\, and shape the final composition through an array of processes. Vibrant planes of color extend over the surface in varied levels of texture. Some rise off the substrate while  others are scraped down or obscured by subsequent layers. Evidence of previous forms allude to Falcetta’s process and interest in time. Curiosity drives the work and for the artist\, the act of making is a manner of discovery. In his own words\, “I value the practice of painting as a way to explore both inside and outside — of myself\, my work\, and my surroundings.” \nThe work references space and objects and becomes a means of reinterpreting his internal and external conditions. He explains these ideas\, “I’m inspired by sources in the built environment: interior and exterior space\, mundane objects\, bright colors\, hard edges and sharp shadows\, street architecture and road markings\, and weathered commercial signage — things made to serve a purpose\, then left to age and change and often be totally overlooked.” Just as the forms in his work bear the evidence of prior choices and changes in the artist’s plans\, so too do physical items and places change with time and human intervention. Falcetta enacts time on the works and imbues them with history and dynamism. \nAnthony Falcetta is a native of Manchester\, CT\, and a 2001 graduate of Massachusetts College of Art and Design in Boston. His work has been exhibited around New England\, New York\, Denver and elsewhere\, and is included in various private and corporate collections. He lives and works in Beverly\, Massachusetts.

SUMMARY:Meg Hitchcock : All That Matters
DESCRIPTION:Kathryn Markel Fine Arts  is pleased to present  All That Matters\, an exhibition of paintings and works on paper by Meg Hitchcock. This is the artist’s first solo exhibition with the gallery and will take place in the new “Pocket” gallery at the 179 10th Avenue location. \nHitchcock creates two and three dimensional abstract paintings that express her interest in religion\, psychology\, and literature and reflect the complexities of the human condition. She constructs matrices of vivid\, irregular planes of color that harken to depictions of architecture in Renaissance era scenes. Shadows and light are both implied and concrete as Hitchcock shifts between flat and dimensional surfaces; however\, the perspective is never clear. The strict linear perspective of her reference is cast aside as she explains\, “I use inverse perspective and conflicting light sources to redirect attention from pictorial space back to the viewer. These subtle shifts in perspective turn the focus inward\, where one encounters authenticity and self-realization in their myriad forms.” \nWhile some of the paintings emerge from the wall\, the works on paper are mostly flat with spare moments of texture in areas where Hitchcock incorporates thread or collage elements. In these pieces she often uses text cut from sacred books and classic literature which further explore religious and philosophical concepts within the work. \nMeg Hitchcock is a New York-based artist and writer. She received a BFA in painting from the San Francisco Art Institute and studied classical painting in Florence\, Italy. Hitchcock’s work has been shown nationally and internationally and has been included in shows at MASS MoCA\, Currier Museum of Art\, CODA Museum (Netherlands)\, Virginia MOCA\, and Crystal Bridges Museum; where she was included in State of the Art: Discovering American Art Now. She is a 2024 Pollock Krasner Grant recipient and a 2023 Gottlieb Foundation Grant recipient. Her work has been reviewed in numerous publications\, including Art in America\, ArtCritical\, The New Criterion\, Huffington Post\, and Hyperallergic. Hitchcock writes the art blog “IN THEIR STUDIOS: Conversations with Artists”\, where she invites artists to discuss their work and process.

SUMMARY:Lisa Breslow: From This Place
DESCRIPTION:Kathryn Markel Fine Arts is delighted to announce From This Place\, an exhibition of new paintings by Lisa Breslow. This will be Breslow’s eighth solo exhibition with the gallery. \nBreslow painted this collection of work during a period of immense productivity following thedevastating loss of her husband. The act of making became a solace for the artist and she focused this energy to push her painting further than ever before. Each distinct brushstroke is more confident and bold and each scene deeply emotionally resonant. Her rich surfaces reveal the time and care spent with every mark. \nBreslow’s paintings are reflective\, personal expressions of her everyday surroundings. The process of choosing what to paint is intuitive\, as she describes it\, “I tend to gravitate toward scenes that are quieter and more meditative. It’s always the lighting that draws me in initially\, with its interplay of colors and forms that evokes a particular feeling or mood. When I see it\, I know immediately that this is something I would want to paint.” Each composition sits at an intersection of busy city life and the quiet of nature. The artist distills these experiences into introspective snapshots that feel both optimistic and tender as she captures the memory of a place. \nLisa Breslow has exhibited extensively in the United States\, including recently at the Heritage Museum and the Heckscher Museum. She has been awarded two Pollock-Krasner Foundation awards\, as well as an award from the National Academy Museum in New York\, and was an Invited Artist at the Center for Contemporary Printmaking. She lives and works in New York City.

SUMMARY:Laura Bidwa : Each
DESCRIPTION:Kathryn Markel Fine Arts is pleased to present Each\, an exhibition of paintings by artist Laura Bidwa. This is her first solo exhibition with the gallery and will take place in the new “Pocket” gallery at the 179 10th Avenue location with an artist reception January 16th\, 6-8pm . \nBidwa’s recent paintings are composed of layers of oil\, latex\, and spray paints on panels that the artist applies with a confident and exuberant brush. Planes of color are disrupted by bold brushwork\, building organic forms carefully laid down\, which create distinct\, painterly shapes. The simplicity of the background creates the clarity necessary to highlight the eccentric use of color. \nThe paintings are packed with contradictions\, as they are both energetic and quiet\, textured and smooth. Surfaces are matte or gloss\, thin and thick.  In the artist’s own words\, “If it works\, I can draw a viewer into looking at a painting very carefully\, noticing the gesture of a brushstroke or a shape\, how the paint’s edges change\, how the surface of the oil paint is matte or slightly less matte or shiny\, how the colors shift as the paint is thicker or thinner. I hope the viewer is able to be lost in looking\, seeing one thing after another even in this simple object.” \nLaura Bidwa is based in Columbus\, Ohio and received her BFA in Painting in 1990 from Indiana University and her MFA in Painting and Drawing in 1996 from The Ohio State University. She has participated in several national and international residencies including at the Vermont Studio Center and in Dresden\, Germany through the Greater Columbus Arts Council. Bidwa has exhibited extensively across the U.S. and Europe in both commercial and nonprofit galleries as well as art fairs in New York\, Miami\, Los Angeles\, and San Francisco. Her work is included in over 100  private\, public\, and corporate art collections.

SUMMARY:Susan English : Still Light
DESCRIPTION:Kathryn Markel Fine Arts is delighted to announce Still Light\, an exhibition of new work by Susan English. Still Light will be English’s fourth solo exhibition with the gallery. \nEthereal and minimal\, Susan English’s paintings play with light and space. She employs transparent pigments and layering to manipulate light and illuminate her color fields. Soft variations and subtle textures appear across the gauzy surfaces soothing and disrupting the meditative environment. Describing the importance of light in her work\,  English writes\, “Paintings\, in a sense\, are “still light”—light captured and distilled into permanence. My work is a response to my experience of light. Color is light and light is color. The color\, which is made by pouring layers of tinted transparent polymer onto panels or paper\, creates an event of still light. In this stillness\, there is something both timeless and calming.” \nEnglish pioneered a technique of pouring and manipulating tinted polymer that allows her to produce a wide variety of textures\, shades\, opacities and finishes. The fluid application of polymer creates opportunities for spontaneous marks as English balances between control and appreciating the unexpected. \nEnglish holds an MFA from Hunter College and has held solo exhibitions across New York State\, Connecticut\, California\, and Texas since 2001. She was awarded the NYSS Mercedes Matter Award in 2020\, and has completed several fellowships and residencies throughout her career. English’s work has been featured in The New York Times\, Widewalls Magazine\, Whitehot Magazine\, Chronogram\, Abstract Art Online\, The Philadelphia Inquirer\, and The Highlands Current. She lives and works in Cold Spring\, NY .

SUMMARY:Peter Stephens: You Are My Favorite Work of Art
DESCRIPTION:Kathryn Markel Fine Arts is excited to announce an upcoming exhibition of new paintings by Peter Stephens\, titled “You Are My Favorite Work of Art.” It will be the artist’s first solo exhibition with the gallery. The exhibition will be held at the gallery’s 179 10th Avenue location and will run from February 15th – March 23\, 2024. \n  \nStephens approaches both the titles of his paintings and exhibition with a playful lightheartedness. “You Are My Favorite Work of Art” is a nod to Chet Baker’s “My Funny Valentine\,” and each painting is titled directly or indirectly from names given to colors by the commercial paint industry. These titles are sometimes amusing\, usually evocative\, seldom profound\, often a bit sexy\, and even a little head scratching at times. \n  \nThe paintings are produced entirely freehand atop an underlying grid of commercial paint samples. He then approaches and explores color relationships with acrylic paint\, line by line. In this body of work\, Stephens finds himself especially focused on the phenomenon of optical color blending and subtleties of modulations. His freehand process is integral to the perception of these effects – they appear as the paintings develop. \n  \nWhile there is an intuitive discovery that happens during Stephens’ process\, there are deliberate references that contribute to a tapestry of rich cultural histories. Textile and mosaic references are clear\, and within each painting there are vignettes that evoke places\, time\, memories\, and emotions. \n  \nPeter Stephens earned a BFA from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 1981 and has since shown his work nationally and internationally. He has held solo exhibitions at Rivalry Projects\, Buffalo\, NY (2022)\, David Richard Gallery\, New York\, NY (2020)\, and Nina Freudenheim Gallery\, Buffalo\, NY (multiple years)\, amongst others. He was most recently included in a solo presentation by Rival Projects at Untitled Art Fair in Miami\, Florida. His work has been placed in private and public collections worldwide\, and is part of several museum collections\, including Albright-Knox Art Gallery\, Brooklyn Museum\, and Burchfield Penney Art Center. He lives and works in Buffalo\, NY.
