SUMMARY:Josette Urso : Wild Card
DESCRIPTION:Recent Paintings by Josette Urso \nJosette Urso makes paintings\, watercolors and drawings in an urgent  attempt to capture the essence and energy of whatever surrounds her – be it a landscape\, a subway\, an apartment view\, or a dinner table.  Her approach involves moment-to-moment extrapolation governed by intuitive leaps of scale\, color and wayward geometry She works from observation\, intuitively\, playfully\, in a process that makes room for many visual surprises and an enormous range of inventive mark making. \n  \nShe says\, “In painting\, I’m responding to shape and form and the light and the experience of space. I’m looking off in every direction simultaneously\, so the pieces are getting a bit more abstract\, but they’re still all based on looking. I find that my visual vocabulary is much broader if I respond to something as a jumping off point rather than relying on what’s in my head. \n  \nI’m always trying to hunt for some kind of surprise. I don’t want to ever know. I thrive on the ‘not knowing.’ It’s like this journey\, stumbling upon situations you didn’t know existed until you discover them through your work. I never know how the painting’s going to look until it happens; I just kind of figure it out along the way.”

SUMMARY:Zuriel Waters: Jitterbug Waltz
DESCRIPTION:These new shaped and sewn paintings by Zuriel Waters are created one at a time to retain traces of the time of the year and the artists’ temporal psychological condition.  They could be  denizens of Flatland\, hinting at  an alien “beingness”.

SUMMARY:Nancy Cohen: The State We’re In
DESCRIPTION:Kathryn Markel Fine Arts is thrilled to announce an upcoming exhibition of new work by Nancy Cohen. The State We’re In will run from March 28 – May 4\, 2024\, with an opening reception on March 28 from 6-8pm. It marks the artist’s fourth solo exhibition with the gallery\, and her first exhibition at the gallery’s new 179 10th Avenue location. The exhibition will run concurrently with Drawing on Memory\, a group exhibition curated by Cohen. Please note that Drawing on Memory will be held at the gallery’s 20th Street location. \n“We’re in a state—it’s unavoidable. We look in\, we worry. We look out\, we worry more\,” Cohen says. \nNancy Cohen’s unconventional drawings\, drawn with paper pulp and fritted glass\, find their origin in her move to Jersey City in the 1980s.  Along the shore and waterways\, the evergreen vegetation thriving amid industrial waste sparked Cohen’s environmental awareness. Waterways\, as subject and imagery\, draw from personal experience and recur in her work as symbols of nature’s ability to endure adversity. \nIn “The State We’re In\,” Cohen pursues the theme of survival\, environmentally and personally. Cohen describes her process as “thinking with her hands.” Concerns outside the studio and challenges within are explored through physically pushing the boundaries of paper and glass. The materials serve as collaborators and provocateurs\, where fused glass objects or a handmade paper are repurposed as source material and inspiration for later works. Cohen’s choices of materials and processes challenge notions of fragility and resilience.  Like fritted glass undergoing transformation in a kiln\, Cohen’s work focuses on strength and beauty in the struggle for survival. \nNancy Cohen holds a BFA from the Rochester Institute of Technology and an MFA from Columbia University. Throughout her career\, she has received numerous awards and residencies\, including 6 fellowships from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts. \nCohen has been the recipient of various awards\, such as the Pollock Krasner Foundation Grant and the Yaddo Artist Residency. Most recently she was the recipient of the Studio Residency Grant at Women’s Studio Workshop and a Fellowship at MacDowell in 2023 where many of the drawings in this show began. She has also been an artist-in-residence at prestigious institutions like the WheatonArts and the Studio at Corning. Her work is included in several public and museum collections\, such as the Yale University Art Gallery\, the New Jersey State Museum\, and the Hudson County Community College.

SUMMARY:Erick Johnson: Cross/Currents
DESCRIPTION:Kathryn Markel Fine Arts is pleased to announce an upcoming exhibition of paintings by Erick Johnson. “Cross/Currents” will run from November 30 – December 22\, 2023 with an opening reception on November 30th from 5-7. It will be the first exhibition held at the gallery’s newest location\, located at 179 Tenth Avenue in Chelsea\, and is Johnson’s second solo show at the gallery. \nIn “Cross/Currents\,” Erick Johnson invites the viewer to ponder the paradox of infusing movement into what appears to be a static visual field. This series tests the tension between possible binaries: shape vs field\, design vs paint\, exactitude vs entropy and above all\, the static vs movement. As Stephen Maine puts it\,” Johnson has a fundamental motivating hypothesis: How do you get something to ‘move’ that’s not really moving at all?” \nAt the heart of Johnson’s approach to painting is his use of an imperfect grid consisting of irregular polygons. They are sometimes divided into smaller polygons but always painted with luminous transparent colors\, employing washes and overlays that create a visual symphony of relational color juxtapositions. “I paint each polygon with successive overlapping bands of color\, which are dragged and scraped using various tools\,” Johnson says. These tools are handmade and work to create graphic striations and a visual record of movement by the hand. How color and shape work together to create complexity and resolution is an enduring interest for Johnson. \nJohnson treats each polygon as a singular area of focus – a painting unto itself that must relate to the painting’s ecosystem. The paradox of stillness and movement invites the viewer to create relationships and differences in their own mind\, resulting in a gentle but persistent tension\, causing the paintings to pulsate with energy– a phenomenon Johnson aptly dubs “escape from stasis.” \nErick Johnson holds an MFA from Bard College and a BFA from Empire State College. He has presented notable solo exhibitions\, including at the Brattleboro Museum & Art Center\, VT\, and Gallery Neptune & Brown\, Wash DC. He has also participated in group exhibitions at LABspace\, in Hillsdale\, NY\, Bernays Fine Art in Great Barrington\, MA\, and Furnace: Art on Paper Archive in Falls Village\, CT amongst others. He is a new 2023 member of the historic American Abstract Artists group and lives and works in New York City.
