SUMMARY:Susan English: "Light to Light"
DESCRIPTION:Kathryn Markel Fine Arts is pleased to announce an upcoming solo exhibition of new paintings by Susan English. “Light to Light” will be English’s third solo exhibition with the gallery. \n  \nEnglish’s work develops in relation to light – it is informed by her exposure to it\, the occurrence within the work\, and the oscillation between them. Spending time in Maine\, the Hudson Highlands\, and on walks in nature helps source the light experience which translates into paintings. “Light also generates from the work as the paintings absorb\, reflect and relate to light in the room. A title with a doubling of the word light felt both compelling and visually beautiful\,” she says. \n  \nThe title of the show is inspired by a passage in T.S. Eliot’s Four Quartets: \n“… After the kingfisher’s wing \nHas answered light to light\, and is silent\, the light is still \nAt the still point of the turning world.” \n  \nEnglish interprets this part of the poem as “describing a moment of light phenomenon and culminating in the meditation.” “My paintings are an answer to my own light experience\,” English says. “The noticing and awareness of subtle and not so subtle light shifts in the landscape and built environment and the way natural light manifests in my studio are a primary content of my work – creating light from light.” \nPutting oneself in the path of light is important to English. She views this as something that cannot be controlled\, but something that needs space to occur – much like her process.  Her process involves pouring tinted polymer in thin layers\, over panel or Yupo paper\, and slightly angling the work so that the pigment moves and settles in the polymer. From there\, she waits 24 hours to learn the true color of the polymer after it dries – an exercise in patience that borders meditation. This is then repeated with each layer\, as she intuitively builds them up.  As she’s said before\, “quite honestly\, in the pouring process I am attempting to control as much as possible\, but when I get too good at it\, it might become boring! Accidents are the spice of life here!” \n  \nEnglish holds an MFA from Hunter College\, and has held solo exhibitions across New York state\, Connecticut\, and California since 2001. She was awarded the NYSS Mercedes Matter Award in 2020\, and has completed several fellowships and residencies throughout her career. She lives and works in Cold Spring\, NY.

SUMMARY:Erin O'Brien "These Days"
DESCRIPTION:Kathryn Markel Fine Arts is pleased to announce an upcoming solo exhibition of new paintings by Erin O’Brien. “These Days” is O’Brien’s first solo exhibition with the gallery. O’Brien’s work juxtaposes human and architectural qualities\, pushing and pulling between each. There is a natural component to her work that is visually combated with strict\, dense shapes\, but the hybrid somehow hums. The collage-like process starts with an initial line drawing that acts as the bones of the painting. She works on linen\, and her photographs and sketches inform the starting lines. The exposed linen contrasts the starkness of her paint as an organic element. \n“The title of the show\, These Days\, is taken from Nico’s version of the Jackson Browne song\,” O’Brien says. “The song is about loss\, sadness\, and regret. And while my work holds plenty of the first two\, it has none of the third\, and actually holds a measure of hope\, too. But the title feels fitting for a show of these paintings at this time\, when we’ve all been dealing with losses of one kind or another\, and uncertainty feels like the only certainty we can rely upon.” she continues. \nIn what feels like a post-pandemic world\, time seems to have two categories: then and now. These days feel distinctly different from life before COVID. This body of work explores the feelings that exist following a major global event. \nO’Brien received her MFA from Bard College in 2003\, and has since exhibited across the northeast\, Georgia\, Florida\, and Italy. She has completed residencies at Palazzo Monti in Italy\, Anderson Ranch Art Center in Colorado\, amongst others. She lives and works in Brooklyn\, NY.

SUMMARY:Introductions: Arielle Zamora\, Greg Slick\, Cynthia Rojas\, Greg Goldberg
DESCRIPTION:Kathryn Markel Fine Arts announces a new exhibition\,“Introductions”\, featuring paintings by four artists new to the gallery – Gregory Goldberg\, Cynthia Rojas\, Greg Slick\, and Arielle Zamora. Each of these artists has a unique visual language to express a specific agenda and although each of them paints abstractly\, their paintings all reflect their reactions to the real world. \nThe paintings of Greg Goldberg consist of an accumulation of many layers of thin glazes of color added over a period of months. Each color choice is a response to the time of day\, the season\, and the weather\, and thus reflects Goldberg’s reaction to light in a particular moment of time. Goldberg then records each brush stroke with a color swatch and date\, on a corresponding watercolor paper guide\, documenting the process of each painting. There is meticulous care taken in the painting process\, and yet the paintings themselves seem so spontaneous and immediate. Gestural mark-making gives them a free-flowing\, almost musical energy as brushstrokes engage and move with one another in graceful harmony. Goldberg has exhibited his work at numerous galleries and non-profit spaces including Artist Space in New York and James Barron gallery in Connecticut. He has had recent one-person exhibitions at the National Arts Club in New York and the Cornwall Library in Connecticut. \nCynthia Rojas creates her paintings with an insistent\, intuitive line and colorful\, eccentric shapes. Annual trips to Mexico have had a major influence on her palette and vintage textiles\, while architectural motifs and aerial landscape views influence her choice of forms. Rojas synthesizes all this into a unique visual language that produces ambiguous spaces that are abstract but also based on a dream reality that only Rojas can access. Rojas received her BFA from the San Francisco Art Institute and her MFA from the School of Visual Arts. She has exhibited in galleries around the country as well as in Japan\, Spain\, and Thailand. She lives and works in New York. \nArielle Zamora’s paintings are contemplative\, minimal constructions based on her own\, very personal\, slightly eccentric geometry. Her painstaking process involves layers of joint compound and paints to create a ground that allows for flat color as well as lines physically etched into the surface. The chance imperfections inherent in the joint compound plus her subtle color palette soften the mathematically-informed edges\, shapes\, and lines which seem to rise out of the ground and not be imposed on it. Zamora received her BFA from The Oregon College of Art and Craft and has exhibited extensively in the Northwest area. She lives and works in Portland Oregon. \nGreg Slick’s new paintings are informed by time\, history\, archaeology\, and anthropology. Flatly painted\, piled up and overlapping forms refer to mountains of geologic and human history. They suggest ancient megalith structures as well as contemporary “mapping. Slick says “My paintings investigate ideas of monumentality through the geometries of prehistoric archaeological sites. Using color\, texture\, patterns of entoptic phenomena and occasional references to digital mapping my work examines how megalithic shapes can occupy space in different and surprising ways within an abstract language. Hard-edge forms reinterpret tumbles of stones at Neolithic sites as a composition of texture/color upon a vibrant ground. Color schemes allude to changing light in rural areas where these stones are found. The intended challenge to the viewer is to read deeply and consider the meaning and politics of monument building along the human journey.” Slick is a visual artist and independent curator based in Beacon\, NY. His work has been exhibited in numerous galleries and non-profit spaces in New York as well as at the Rochester Contemporary Art Center\, the SUNY Ulster Gallery and the Samuel Dorsky Museum at SUNY New Paltz. He lives and works in Beacon\, New York

SUMMARY:Sydney Licht - "At The Edge of Things"
DESCRIPTION:Kathryn Markel Fine Arts is thrilled to announce a solo exhibition of new paintings by Sydney Licht.  This marks Licht’s sixth solo show with the gallery.  Licht draws inspiration from the common\, disposable detritus of everyday life and creates still lives centered around takeout containers\, department store boxes\, sugar packets and other disposables.  Licht tells the domestic experience of society’s materialism via modern takes on the still life. \n  \n“At the Edge of Things” presents a fresh point of view on the conventions typically associated with still life.  “For centuries\, still life paintings have portrayed items from the realm of the domestic….food\, utensils\, dishes\, flowers and other elements that celebrate the table and the communal dining experience\,” Licht says. “Today\, as technology impacts our lives more and more\, few of us have the means or the desire to spend hours preparing and presenting a meal served on china dishes with silver place settings.  Instead\, we order online and our food arrives ready to be microwaved.  During the Covid era\, communal dining experiences were more likely to occur on a computer via Zoom than in person sitting around a table together.  All of this begs the question\, has the shelf life of the still life as we’ve known it reached its expiration date?” she continues. \n  \n Her work is also concentrated on formal\, explorative aspects of painting and an interest in the materiality of paint itself.  Tabletops and other interior surfaces are minimized to a sliver of color or block of pattern across the bottom of the paintings – boxes and packages are then arranged onto these planes of color.  “Color in its quantity and specificity can affect how we perceive articles as either developed forms or simple shapes.  In addition to space\, multiple objects can exist at the edge of things such that their silhouettes might collide or meet up in unexpected ways\, sometimes flattening space or other times just claiming attention.  By translating what I see around me into works that articulate this dynamic aspect of our visual culture\, my goal is to push the boundaries of what a still life can be\,” Licht says.  During a time of such visual abundance\,  At the Edge of Things grants viewers a respite to focus on these humble details. \n  \nLicht’s work is included in several public collections\, spanning from New York to Boston and Cincinnati. She has been a visiting artist at The American Academy in Rome twice\, and completed the Yaddo Residency in Saratoga Springs\, NY.  Since her first solo show in 1986\, Licht has exhibited across the country and worldwide in group and solo exhibitions.

SUMMARY:Monica Banks: All You Can Eat
DESCRIPTION:Kathryn Markel Fine Arts is delighted to announce an upcoming solo exhibition of Monica Banks’ newest ceramic work. Titled “All You Can Eat ”\, this is Banks’ first show with the gallery.  \n  \n“All You Can Eat ” combines new ceramic vessels and utensils with earlier cakes and other surprising elements made over the years — such as porcelain portraits of dead birds\, houses\, and pig hands.  One of Banks’ early series stemmed after the Haiti earthquakes. She conceptualized the mass loss through a collection of one-inch porcelain human figures – representing the victims of this tragedy and other natural disasters. This series was the beginning of her use of porcelain\, the main medium in her practice today. “My new porcelain work— mugs\, plates\, forks\, coffee pots\, etc. explores the unspoken things we think about ourselves and each other during the everyday acts of eating and drinking.”  \n  \n“This series started when I began giving voice to self-defeating slogans by adding them to pretty mugs that could not successfully hold liquids (e.g.\, “you ruin everything\,” “no one cares\,” “why are you so…”). This twist on the concept of inspirational mugs and travel souvenirs inspired me to incorporate petals\, tattoos\, slugs\, eyes\, teeth\, stitched flesh\, and other unlikely motifs into the tableware\,” she says.  \n  \nBy topping her edible subjects with ceramic insects\, pests\, and feathers\, she evokes conversations about the duality of the world we live in. The eclectic mix vacillates between the pleasant and unpleasant. “The resulting tablescape aims to evoke the full spectrum of feelings —from celebration to despair\, self-mockery to confrontation\,” she says.

SUMMARY:“Come Slowly – Eden!”
DESCRIPTION:Kathryn Markel Fine Arts is pleased to announce an exhibition of new paintings by Yolanda Sanchez. This is her seventh solo exhibition with the gallery. \nTitled Come Slowly – Eden!\, Sanchez draws the name from an Emily Dickinson poem about the intoxication of flowers and fragrance in Eden. And inspired by a Henri Matisse quote\, “there are always flowers for those who want to see them” Sanchez says\, “Flowers have long been a central theme for me and are evidence of my deep-rooted relationship to the natural world\, informing my overall approach to image-making.” \nWith nature as the catalyst for much of her art\, she works with its natural forms and aspires to translate a series of senses. “On the heels of my recent solo textile exhibition\, “The Earth Laughs in Flowers\,” in which I explore the light and color of my immediate natural environment through native flora\, I now continue this thematic journey in paint. It is the color but also the sensuousness of nature that I endeavor to suggest in both my paintings and textiles.” \nSanchez’s PhD in Clinical Psychology and MFA in Painting serve as complex lenses in the process of her craft. “I am interested in the joyful\, playful\, or even spiritual properties of light\, and believe strongly that we shape the world around us through our perceptions\, awareness\, and attention\,” she says. “I would like to offer an invitation to awaken to beauty and delight\, to a moment of contemplation\, below the line of thought.  My current series of paintings reflects a light-hearted\, fun attitude\, if even\, at times\, a bit wild and bold.”

SUMMARY:A Glitch in the Membrane
DESCRIPTION:  \nKathryn Markel Fine Arts is thrilled to announce the exhibition of recent paintings by Deborah Dancy\,  “A Glitch in the Membrane”. This is her first solo exhibition with the gallery.  \n  \nThe works in this exhibition expand on the specific visual language and the creative/destructive process that is the hallmark of Dancy’s practice. For Dancy\, painting is a constant building and tearing down as she paints and then scrapes paint away. A form will\, as she says\, “assert itself” and then require an answer via another shape\, color\, or movement which in turn creates yet a new question. And as the conversation of gestures continues\, the transparency of Dancy’s decision making\, her embrace of accident and surprise infuses the paintings with a touching vulnerability.  Dancy’s mark-making is sometimes dense and insistent and sometimes hesitant and questioning. Arbitrary fields of heavily colored strokes appear out of the gray to disrupt an ambiguous space of oranges and pinks. Interrupted spaces\, sensuous shapes colliding and the chalky palette all add to the sense of the off-kilter and the amiss. As Dancy says\, “In these unprecedented times\, anticipating the unexpected has never been more pressing. The realization of how delicately everything is held together has led me to paintings in which the instability of space and time is keenly felt. The use of color and interrupted shifts of shape and space act to both entice and distract and these unstable spatial tensions speak to our present state of being.” \n  \nDeborah Dancy has received numerous significant honors and awards\, including: a John Simon Guggenheim Foundation Fellowship\, New England Foundation for the Arts/NEA Individual Artist Grant\, Nexus Press Artist Book Project Award\, Visual Studies Artist Book Project Residency Grant\, The American Antiquarian Society’s William Randolph Hearst Fellowship\, a YADDO Fellow\, Women’s Studio Workshop Residency Grant\, Connecticut Commission of the Arts Artist Grant\, as well as a Connecticut Book Award Illustration Nominee. Her work is included in the collections of Museum of Fine Arts\, Boston\, The Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art\, The Birmingham Museum of Art\, The Baltimore Museum of Art\, The Montgomery Museum of Art\, The Spencer Museum of Art\, The Hunter Museum of Art\, Vanderbilt University\, Grinnell College\, Oberlin College Museum of Art\, Davidson Art Center\, and The Detroit Museum of Art among other institutions. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Walking a Line
DESCRIPTION:Kathryn Markel Fine Arts is thrilled to announce an exhibition of new glass sculpture and works on/of paper by Nancy Cohen.  Walking a Line marks the artist’s third solo exhibition in the gallery. \n  \nCohen works concurrently in two media. – She creates organic sculptural forms from pieces of glass and she creates drawings on hand-made paper using pigmented paper pulp as the drawing medium.  These two ways of working are closely related both formally and conceptually.   Both the paper pulp and the sculpted glass function as the substrate for drawing lines and both mediums are the physical embodiment of the essential thread that unites all of Cohen’s work– the relation between fragility and strength.  Paper and glass both walk the line between strong and fragile\, and Cohen is interested in pushing both mediums to the limit. \n  \nLine is the dominant formal element on all works in this exhibition.  Both Sculpture and paper are covered with lines that both unite and divide\, define or obscure.  As Cohen says about the Line: \n  \n“There is a fine fragile line between existence and its opposite\, a line we all walk and which the small and large environments that contain us walk as well.  Environmental and personal vulnerability has been a longstanding focus in my work.  Waterways\, in particular\, with their almost human balance of fragility and strength\, their perseverance through adversity—much of it inflicted by us—trace lines of stress and hope through our landscapes—as well as a strong line through the body of my work.” \n  \nFinally\, the line between existence and its opposite has been sharpened for all of us in recent years with the climate crisis and\, more recently\, the Covid pandemic.  At the same time\, the line between our individual fragilities and those of the collective and the planet have been blurred.  Individually\, we have often been isolated—themes of escape and flight\, literal and imagined\, figure heavily in work I’ve produced in the pandemic period—but our fragile bodies and our fragile environment are inextricably linked.  More than ever\, we walk the line together.” \nNancy Cohen has exhibited throughout the United States\, including at the Garrison Art Center\, the Hunterdon Art Museum\, the Philadelphia Art Alliance\,  and the Jersey City Museum and New Jersey State Museum. Her work is in the collections of Citibank\, Howard University\, Memorial Sloan Kettering\, Montclair Art Museum\, and the Yale University Museum.

SUMMARY:"Soundings"
DESCRIPTION:Kathryn Markel Fine Arts is pleased to announce Soundings\, an exhibition curated by Nancy Cohen with work by Cristina De Gennaro\, Dale Emmart\, Reeva Potoff\, And Barbara Zucker. The show accompanies Cohen’s solo show\, Walking a Line\, and will be up from February 17th to March 26th. Cohen has written about the concept behind the exhibition and about each artist below. \n  \nSounding: To make a sounding is to dip a string into water to measure its depth\, to understand it in a way that would otherwise not be obvious. For a researcher\, it provides information needed before the work can proceed. \n  \nThe artists in Soundings make work that is visually engaging and beautiful\, much of it initially communicating in the language of abstraction. But as the viewer digs deeper into the work\, looking more carefully\, letting questions bubble to the surface\, reading the titles — a greater complexity and layered meaning reveals itself. You can begin to see how the course of action unfolds. \n  \nThe artists in this show make work that involves research into nature\, culture\, science\, and the body. Through their individual investigations they have developed personal and unpredictable visual languages to express their findings. \n  \nCristina de Gennaro considers the sublime through decay and regeneration. Her landscape drawings closely study the flora that comprise the desert and forest floors\, exploring tensions between pattern and complexity\, beauty\, and chaos. \n  \nDale Emmart studies our atmosphere. Her works on paper reference urban exhaust\, industrial fumes\, and smoke generated by city environments\, suggesting complications of industry and climate. The edge between description and abstraction is her primary motivation. \n  \nBeginning several years ago with mold accidentally grown in a coffee cup in her studio\, Reeva Potoff has been focusing on microbial activity\, photographing\, and developing that initial growth into complex digital prints that belie their origins.  Scroll-like prints are incorporated into visceral installation-based work speaking about the transient nature of life. \n  \n“Nose Job” and “Liposuction Buttocks” are two sculptures’ from “For Beauty’s Sake” Barbara Zucker’s 1994 Artist’s Space exhibition examining cosmetic surgery. With her characteristic deadpan humor\, fierce wit\, and impeccable precision this work will make you laugh while you wince in emotional and physical pain at the same time.

SUMMARY:Rocio Rodriguez "Counterpoint"
DESCRIPTION:NEW YORK\, NY –– January 3rd\, 2022 –– Kathryn Markel is pleased to present Counterpoint\, by Rocio Rodriguez. This marks the artist’s third solo exhibition with Kathryn Markel Fine Arts. \nThis group of 14 paintings by Rocio Rodriguez\, completed in 2021\, are remarkably scaled down. 11×14 inch\, 12×12 inch\, and the largest\, 30×36 inch\, paintings deliver the same weight and monumental vignettes as Rodriguez’s pre-pandemic\, larger than life\, canvases. \nRodriguez continues with her visual language of characters moving in dialogue\, a messy diary per se. The pictorial space inhabits movement\, projection\, and gesture\, Like the smudgy square\, or the blurry suspended wire that’s been struck and left to vibrate; it moves and leaves a trail of motion. The implication is\, nothing stops moving. Each player confers with the other\, offering point and counterpoint. Like the impromptu call and response between smudges and opacity\, erasure and clarity. The forms\, however vague or unstable by themselves\, collectively achieve balance in that no one form reigns. The unfolding is a build-up\, or an escalation\, not necessarily a story\, but definitely an ask of\, what happens next? \nRocío Rodríguez’s work is in numerous national and international private and public collections among them the High Museum of Art\, the New Orleans Museum of Art\, and the Huntsville Museum of Art. Ms. Rodríguez is the recipient of various national and regional awards among them Anonymous Was a Woman Award 2018\, Artadia Atlanta 2011\, a Cintas Fellowship\, and two SAF/NEA Fellowships. In 2014 she was awarded an Artist Residency at the Marfa Contemporary in Marfa\, Texas. Rocío Rodríguez was born in Caibarién\, Cuba. She earned her BFA and MFA from the University of Georgia and continues to live and work in Atlanta\, Georgia

SUMMARY:Deborah Zlotsky: Gemini
DESCRIPTION:Kathryn Markel Fine Arts is pleased to announce Gemini\, a solo exhibition of new abstract paintings and drawing by Deborah Zlotsky inspired by early Renaissance\, Surrealist\, and Pop traditions as well as the body and aging. The show marks the artist’s fifth solo show with the gallery. Artist and writer Stephen Westfall has written an exhibition essay to accompany the show. \nSoft Power \nIt never seemed to me that geometry seeks to leave the body behind\, to shed its skin and mortal coil for the ether of eternity. Quite the reverse\, in fact; like Bruno Ganz’s fallen angel in Wenders’ Wings of Desire\, it’s possible the eternal realm is perpetually curious and envious of our brief\, baggy existence\, and longs to experience . . . what? That excess of vitality accompanying the ripening which precedes decay? To know the ecstasy of grief? Maybe a geometric shape\, even a precise meander might occasionally want to just loosen its belt a little. Deborah Zlotsky’s recent paintings propose all manner of ecstasies and comedies as she incorporates her geometries as bodies\, and her planes of color with the modeling of limbs\, bladders or fruit. In Zlotsky’s hands\, what first appears to be flat color slips into equivocal translucencies fluctuating between warm and cool\, and light and dark. The planes seem to sweat like bodies\, as they are interrupted by darker drips that condense from Zlotsky’s chromatic atmospheres. \nZlotsky has written: “I’ve always thought of paintings as bodies to humor\, care for\, and make sense of. As I’ve aged\, I think of each painting as being like my body: strong and fragile.”  Here\, Zlotsky reminds us that the rectangle of the canvas is also a geometric shape\, and that its projection from the wall is the beginning of its embodiment\, but only the beginning. A body-sense informs a felt-out paint surface and an internal scale within the abstract composition and\, I would argue\, a quality of light. Zlotsky’s light shares the nocturnal illumination of de Chirico and Beckmann: even when they are describing daylight it is the daylight of a stage backdrop. It’s a Coney Island of the Mind in her geometric world. The ideal has come down to earth and is enjoying a hotdog and the geek show.  \n—Stephen Westfall

SUMMARY:Fran Shalom: Groping for the Elephant
DESCRIPTION:Kathryn Markel Fine Arts is pleased to present Groping for the Elephant\, an exhibition of thirteen new paintings by artist Fran Shalom. The show will be up from September 16th to October 23rd. \nI am a modernist abstract painter with a pop sensibility and a penchant for improvisation. \nMy work balances the formal with the playful\, paring down shapes and ideas into their most basic forms. To counter the chaos of everyday life\, I instinctively gravitate towards elemental shapes\, with defined edges resulting in an appearance of control and order (however illusionary it may be). \nThe shapes reference the human body but are open to interpretation. Animated by bright\, cartoony colors and figure/ground relationships\, I think of the paintings as ambiguous characters who inhabit my studio keeping me company and often engaging in silent\, humorous conversation. \nIn writing about my work\, art critic John Yau said\, “Can we see things for what they are\, even if we cannot name them\, cannot in that regard have dominion over them”? \nI love that statement for it speaks to ambiguity and being comfortable with not knowing. In Zen there is a wonderful saying: Not knowing is most intimate”. \nIt suggests approaching something with open-minded and whole-hearted curiosity. I try to begin my paintings in this way\, with a willingness to be present with uncertainty\, and with the confidence that the process will result in work that both satisfies and inspires. \n-Fran Shalom

SUMMARY:Rough and Ready Curated by Fran Shalom
DESCRIPTION:Kathryn Markel Fine Arts is pleased to present Rough and Ready\, an exhibition curated by Fran Shalom with work by Sophie Friedman-Pappas\, Rachel Klinghoffer\, Cyrilla Mozenter\, Helen O’Leary\, and Cordy Ryman. The show accompanies Fran’s solo show\, Groping for the Elephant\, and will be up from September 16th to October 23rd. Fran has written about the concept behind the exhibition and about each artist below. \nRough and Ready:\nI brought these five particular artists together because of the unique way they appropriate ordinary everyday materials and transform them into something visually surprising\, emotionally fulfilling and ultimately\, happily ambiguous. \nEach artist has a specific intention that does not necessarily intersect with another\, but in this show I am less interested in a thematic “why” but rather the “what” or the “how” they create the work. The process and outcome of each artist is singular and contemporary. The work is about painting\, color\, shape\, texture\, object\, the world we live in\, language\, history\, memories and the joy of making. \nThese artists construct\, pull apart and put back together\, re-imagining\, un-doing and re-contextualizing materials that we see and use in our everyday lives and make us see them again in a fresh and distinctive way. I appreciate that shift in perspective. \n-Fran Shalom

SUMMARY:Steven Baris: Toppling
DESCRIPTION:Kathryn Markel Fine Arts is pleased to present Toppling\, an exhibition of seven new paintings by artist Steven Baris.  Anchored by a new series Toppling created during the pandemic\, the works explore discontinuity and disequilibrium of the upheaval and disruption of 2020 and beyond.\n\n“A common thread connecting the separate but related groups of paintings is an obsession with the spatial and temporal disjunctions that we are experiencing in our rapidly changing world\,” states Baris. “To that end\, I deploy what I describe as diagrammatic metaphors that visualize ongoing processes of movement and transformation.”

SUMMARY:Katie DeGroot “Boscage”
DESCRIPTION:Kathryn Markel Fine Arts is pleased to announce an exhibition of new works by Katie DeGroot.  The exhibition consists of 7 large watercolors that celebrate the complexity and surprising beauty of the natural world of trees.   With vibrant color and energetic brush strokes\, DeGroot emphasizes the unique personality of each branch\, each of which has earned its own specific finery of moss and fungi\, by adapting to its own environment of sunlight and nutrients. \nDeGroot places these diverse branches in groups of competition and conversation just as they are in nature. Although they are in the process of decay\, her deft use of exuberant color and heightened\, almost surreal attention to detail\, animates them. As again\, in nature\, dying trees are the life of the forest. Nature always finds a way to live and thrive. \n\n\n\n  \nKatie DeGroot has been awarded 3 residencies at Yaddo and has shown in galleries around the Northeast. Her work is in the Agnes Gund Collection\, the Tang Museum\, and the Ronay and Richard Menschel Collection. She lives and works in upstate New York.

SUMMARY:In Conversation – A Group Exhibition Curated by Katie DeGroot
DESCRIPTION:Kathryn Markel Fine Arts is pleased to announce a group exhibition curated by Katie DeGroot\, featuring work by her inspirational friends; Joan Nelson\, Barbara Takenaga\, Amy Talluto\, Nancy Shaver & Martin Weinstein. \nOn the wall in artist Katie DeGroot’s upstate studio hangs a piece of paper listing several artists who have influenced her work. “They’re people I think about often\,” she says. “I’ve both admired their contributions and drawn inspiration from them. This show allows me to share some of their incredible creativity with the public.” \n\n\n\n\n  \nDeGroot was originally approached to do a solo show at Kathryn Markel Fine Arts in NYC. But as the artist began mentally assembling her works\, she came to realize that she wanted to share the show with those who had influenced her. And so\, the main room will house DeGroot’s works in a solo exhibit called Boscage. And the back gallery will feature pieces by Joan Nelson\, Nancy Shaver\, Barbara Takenaga\, Amy Talutto and Martin Weinstein In Conversation with DeGroot’s paintings.

SUMMARY:Tamar Zinn: Where I find myself
DESCRIPTION:NEW YORK\, NY –– December 10th\, 2020 –– Kathryn Markel Fine Arts is pleased to announce an exhibition of new paintings by Tamar Zinn. The show marks the artist’s seventh solo exhibition with the gallery. \nIn this latest series of paintings\, the fragmented geometry of Zinn’s earlier work has been transmuted into the geometryofmulti-panelpaintings. Withinthisformal structure\, the duality of atmospheric light and minimalist fields of color strike a dynamic balance. \n\n\n\n\nZinn works on multiple panels simultaneously\, beginning\nwith an amorphous exploration of color. As she works\, the orientation and sequence of panels remain in a state of constant flux. Some panels may be moved from one sequence and added to another\, constantly shifting and transforming in their conversations with each other as the paintings evolve over the course of many months. This process reflects Zinn’s embrace of the transitory nature of experiences. Her paintings offer meditations on the fleeting qualities of sense-impressions\, and glimpses of perpetually shifting light and color. She describes them as “recollections of ephemeral visual sensations that appear behind closed eyes during meditation. Where I find myself is where I go to lose my self.” \nTamar Zinn has exhibited in solo and group exhibitions throughout the United States. Her work is in numerous public and private collections including the New-York Historical Society\, McKinsey & Company\, Pfizer Corporation\, Time Warner\, and Ernst and Young. She lives and works in New York City.

SUMMARY:Parallel Pursuits
DESCRIPTION:NEW YORK\, NY –– December 10th\, 2020 –– Kathryn Markel Fine Arts is pleased to present Parallel Pursuits\, an exhibition of works by Jeffrey Cortland Jones\, Julian Jackson\, Liz Sweibel\, Josette Urso\, and Tamar Zinn. \nParallel Pursuits focuses on the work of several artists who actively follow multiple paths in the studio\, rather than narrowing their attention to a single direction. These artists are in agreement that one body of work is not created as a means to develop ideas for the other – they are of equal importance and remain distinct. While over time\, one body of work may inform the other\, doing both satisfies a need for multiple ways of making. \n\n\n\n\nJulian Jackson describes his collages as “a kind of visual laboratory.” While his abstract paintings reflect a carefully developed compositional structure\, his collages allow for freedom and playfulness\, and serve to “connect me to the world outside my painting practice.” A striking contrast between the two bodies of work is that in Jackson’s collages\, the rhythmic compositions are sharply defined by cut paper\, while his paintings offer subtle\, soft-edged geometries in light-filled spaces. \nFor Jeffrey Cortland Jones\, painting and drawing are intimately connected. Both are primarily about “the relationship of a form with another.” But while his paintings are abstract and formal\, the drawings give him the opportunity “to make a more direct reference to the landscape.” And unlike the spare compositions of his paintings\, the mark of the hand is fully evident in the energetic brushwork of his drawings. When Jones subsequently cuts up the drawings and juxtaposes the pieces\, he returns to his visual preoccupation of placing one form in interaction with another. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn describing both her two and three-dimensional work\, Liz Sweibel writes\, “all of my work is primary and a drawing process.” Sweibel’s sculptures are assembled from an amalgam of irregularly shaped wood fragments that have accumulated in her studio over many years. These intimate constructions\, which Sweibel sometimes takes apart and reconfigures\, appear grounded but include elements whose stability is tenuous. While her thread and vellum drawings are visually crisp and stitched with precision\, they evoke a sense of vulnerability as precariously stacked forms spill through space. \nJosette Urso writes that working with collage “satisfies my natural and lifelong ‘collector’ and ‘archivist’ sensibilities.” In her collages\, Urso establishes a formal geometric framework to contain the busyness of the colorful cut papers. In contrast\, Urso’s brushwork and energized forms are free to roam across the canvas in paintings marked by an unrestrained and joyful vitality. What connects the two bodies of work\, according to Urso\, is that they are both intuitive\, and reflect her desire to keep things off-balance. \nFor Tamar Zinn\, the act of drawing “is an immediate\, intensely physical experience.” Her drawings have an urgency that reflects a process of rapid mark-making. In contrast\, Zinn’s atmospheric paintings reference “shifting visual sensations experienced during meditation.” While the drawings satisfy a need for expression through gesture\, the many-layered paintings are slow and reflective. Although the two bodies of work differ in intention\, process\, and outcome\, she sees both as central to her visual identity.

SUMMARY:Katie DeGroot : Trees Among Us
DESCRIPTION:DeGroot’s remarkable watercolors explore the complexity and surprising beauty of the natural world of trees in a way that heightens their unique personalities.  Each tree has had to adapt to its own environment of sunlight and nutrients\, to survive\, and thrive\, and has patiently acquired its own fungal\, mossy finery in the process.  DeGroot\, with a deft hand\, celebrates their diversity and beauty.

SUMMARY:Maeve D’Arcy: Detritus
DESCRIPTION:A flowering object grows out of meditative mark making. These repetitive marks explore dualities of chaos and order\, movement and stillness\, real and imagines spaces\, places and time. \n“Borders\, boundaries\, and language\, exist throughout my work and have\nmanifested themselves in my sensibilities as an artist. The repetitive\nmark-making within my practice explores the relationship between chaos\nand order\, and the ways in which it is possible to manipulate or\nexaggerate time. I’m interested in creating spaces that translate the\nmicro and macro perspectives within urban and rural environments\, and\nintroducing a new possibility for the viewer of abstract navigation\nthrough real and imagined terrains.” \n– Maeve D’arcy \n\nImage:\nMaeve D’arcy\nPizza Prince\, 2019\nacrylic on panel\n12″ x 12″\nEnquire

SUMMARY:DEBORAH ZLOTSKY: DNA PAINTINGS
DESCRIPTION:DEBORAH ZLOTSKY: DNA PAINTINGS\nAN ONLINE SOLO EXHIBITION \nDeborah Zlotsky’s vivid abstract paintings reference 1960s psychedelia and the graphic boldness of Pop painting.  Her newest paintings feature vibrant\, pared-down geometric compositions that are both timeless and contemporary\, brought to life by her signature use of color\, shape\, and perspectival shifts.   Zlotsky’s artistic process comes out of an interest in the idea of chance as a method of creating new relationships through responses to unexpected decisions: \n“On a broader level\, I’m fascinated by the way history evolves through the accumulation of actions and reactions—in the way complexities are built over time through the accidents that get baked in. In these new paintings\, I limited my focus to include only two connecting shapes. I was thinking about my elderly parents in particular and the coincidences of one’s DNA. The unique configuration of scale\, shape\, color\, and space in each painting refers to both the unlikelihood and the generative intricacy in even the simplest of unions.” \nDeborah Zlotsky received a 2019 Guggenheim Fellowship and NYFA Artist Fellowships in Painting in 2012 and 2018.  She is represented by Kathryn Markel Fine Arts in New York and Robischon Gallery in Denver.  Zlotsky’s work is in a variety of public\, private and corporate collections in the US and abroad and she has been awarded residencies at MacDowell\, Yaddo\, and Bogliasco Foundation\, among others.  Zlotsky has a BA in the History of Art from Yale University and an MFA in Painting and Drawing from the University of Connecticut. She teaches at the Rhode Island School of Design.

SUMMARY:Josette’s World | 17 watercolors and ink drawings by Josette Urso
DESCRIPTION:Kathryn Markel Fine Arts – Bridgehampton – is pleased to announce the exhibition “Josette’s World” an exhibition of 17 drawings and watercolors by Josette Urso hung in one great\, gallery wall that highlights the diversity\, energy\, and inventiveness of Urso’s watercolors and drawings. \nUrso’s works on paper are an urgent\, immediate attempt to capture the visual variety and specificity of her environment. Whether working in plein-air during her travels or looking out over the sweeping view of Brooklyn from her studio\, Urso employs her peculiar\, energetic visual language of detailed acrobatic forms to heighten and expand the experience of a place\, of a room\, of a life of ordinary things. These works on paper – these unique visual representations of Josette’s World – are endlessly fascinating in their density and detail. \nShe says \n“I am governed by intuitive leaps of scale\, color and wayward geometry. Contrasts and cross-fertilizations unfold and are cumulative\, non-linear\, free flowing and interpretive. Space becomes an ambiguous and malleable substance and I delight in its manipulation as I meander acrobatically in a kind of gymnasium of convoluted mark making and image collision. All along the way\, I engage the known as well as the unknown in unforeseen ways.” \nJosette Urso received her MFA in Painting from the University of South Florida in Tampa. Urso’s work has been exhibited widely across the country\, including the New York Public Library\, The Drawing Center\, and the Bronx Museum for the Arts. She has been awarded numerous grants and residencies\, in particular\, from the National Endowment for the Arts\, Basil H. Alkazzi\, and the Pollock-Krasner Foundation as well as the Camargo Foundation and Yaddo\, The Alma B.C. Schapiro Residency in Sarasota Springs\, NY and the Adolph and Esther Gottlieb Foundation Grant. Urso lives and works in Brooklyn\, NY. \n\nImage:\nTHAT DAY IN SEPTEMBER AND THE FROG DISH TOWEL\, 2019\nink drawing on paper\n23 x 29 in.\nurso214\ninquire

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.
