SUMMARY:Raffi Kalenderian
DESCRIPTION:NEW YORK\, NEW YORK – MILES McENERY GALLERY is pleased to announce an exhibition of new paintings by Raffi Kalenderian. The show will open on 19 November at 525 West 22nd Street and remain on view until 19 December 2020. The exhibition is accompanied by a fully illustrated publication featuring an essay by Glenn Adamson. \nFor Raffi Kalenderian\, the whole painting is the portrait. Kalenderian’s works vary greatly in their handling of scale. The figures displayed occupy as much as half the overall pictorial plane\, or may appear as quite small\, tucked lovingly into a lush visual landscape. His surfaces are completely activated. Additionally\, the paintings display time\, as well as space. Temporal complexity is intrinsic to portrait painting. It unfolds across an extended duration and yet is perceived by the viewer in\, and as\, an instant. Looking at them is like experiencing déjà vu. \nGlenn Adamson notes\, “In art as in physics\, energy must come from somewhere. It’s easy to get lost in his paintings\, their saturated hues\, their mesmerizing patterns\, their psychological presence. That’s the right way to look at them — to give yourself the chance to see what Kalenderian saw\, and somehow got down on canvas.” \nWith supreme care and affection\, Kalenderian paints the paintings within his own\, in miniature\, a process he likens to a musician covering a song. “My friends are like celebrities to me\,” he says\, and you feel that in his pictures. They are exciting because he is excited when he paints them. “I think of portraiture\,” he says\, “as an opportunity to show love.” \nRAFFI KALENDERIAN (b. 1981\, Los Angeles\, CA) received his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree at the University of California\, Los Angeles in 2004. He also completed his artist residency at Idyllwild Arts Academy\, Idyllwild\, CA in 2004\, and his artist residency at St. Barthélemy\, French West Indies in 2007. \nRecent solo exhibitions include Miles McEnery Gallery\, New York\, NY (upcoming); “Memento Vivo\,” Susanne Vielmetter Los Angeles Projects\, Culver City\, C A; “Always in Rare Form\,” Buchmann Galerie\, Berlin\, Germany; “Portraits\,” Peter Kilchmann\, Zürich\, Switzerland; “For the Dead\,” Susanne Vielmetter Los Angeles Project\, Culver City\, CA; “Green River\,” Brand New Gallery\, Milan\, Italy; “To Walk Through the Night\,” Peter Kilchmann\, Zürich\, Switzerland; “Raffi Kalenderian\,” Susanne Vielmetter Los Angeles Projects\, Culver City\, C A; “Raffi Kalenderian\, ” Buchmann Galerie\, Berlin\, Germany; “Interior Life\,” Galerie Peter Kilchmann\, Zürich\, Switzerland; “Currents\, Undercurrents\, and Manoeuvers\,” Susanne Vielmetter Los Angeles Projects\, Culver City\, CA; “Raffi Kalenderian\,” Brand New Gallery\, Milan\, Italy; “Memoranda\, ” Galerie Peter Kilchmann\, Zürich\, Switzerland; “Satellites\, ” Galerie Peter Kilchmann\, Zürich\, Switzerland; “Palimpsest: Selected Works on Paper\,” Marc Jancou Fine Art\, New York\, NY; “Wicked Waters\,” Medium\, St. Barthélemy\, French West Indies; “Born Under Punches\,” Black Dragon Society\, Los Angeles\, CA. \nRecent group exhibitions include “In the Meanwhile…Recent Acquisitions of Contemporary Art\,” Santa Barbara Museum of Art\, Santa Barbara\, CA; “20 Years Anniversary Exhibition\, ” Vielmetter Los Angeles\, Los Angeles\, CA; “Painter’s Painters\, ” Saatchi Gallery\, London\, United Kingdom; “Body Language\,” Saatchi Gallery\, London\, United Kingdom; “Goldmine\,” (curated by Christopher Scoates)\, University Art Museum\, Long Beach\, C A; “Painting\, ” (curated by Roger Herman)\, L A Art House\, Los Angeles\, CA; “Next Generation\, ” Kunstmuseum St Gallen\, St Gallen\, Switzerland; “L.A.

SUMMARY:Inka Essenhigh
DESCRIPTION:NEW YORK\, NEW YORK – MILES McENERY GALLERY is pleased to announce an exhibition of new paintings by Inka Essenhigh. The show will open on 15 October at 525 West 22nd Street and remain on view through 14 November 2020. The exhibition is accompanied by a fully illustrated publication featuring an essay by Jenni Sorkin. \nInka Essenhigh paints fantastical worlds where the everyday is twisted and contorted by energetic forces from within and without. Over the past 20 years she developed her own style and vision that she has put to use to create beautiful manifestations of the world: albeit one that isn’t completely free of evil. Rendered with technical prowess\, her lexicon of surreal nature scenes and otherworldly figuration has been variously interpreted as related to Japanese anime\, comic books\, European fairy tales\, and children’s animation. While Essenhigh is neither fully Surrealist nor fully Pop\, what the art movements with which she is associated with have in common— is a relationship to the uncanny. \nAs found throughout Surrealism and other modern avant-garde movements\, Essenhigh’s paintings tend be uniquely episodic\, while still sharing themes of flora and fauna. They are touched by a curious self-containment and an interiority of the force of imagination. Her works display dimensional narratives that require close-up viewing\, creating a visceral dialogue\, one viewer at a time. Each is marked by bright\, rich color\, and a decision to revel in the “little world” schema of psychology with a fluidity between people and their things. \nThe works on view display storybook fantasias that often rearrange familiar elements of daily life or the natural world into something disquietingly picturesque. Her dreamlike paintings\, populated with woodland scenes\, Baudelairean flowers and mystical beings\, offer an animistic responsiveness in which plant life and non-Anthropocene beings become cyphers for human-like behaviors and feelings. \nINKA ESSENHIGH (b. in 1969 in Bellefonte\, PA) received her Bachelor of Fine Art degree in 1992 from Columbus College of Art & Design\, Columbus\, OH and her Master of Fine Art in 1994 from the School of Visual Arts\, New York\, NY. \nRecent solo exhibitions include “Other Worlds: Inka Essenhigh\, ” Susquehanna Art Museum\, Harrisburg\, PA; “Uchronia\, ” Kavi Gupta Gallery\, Chicago\, IL; “Inka Essenhigh: Manhattanhenge\,” The Drawing Center\, New York\, NY; “A Fine Line\,” Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art\, Virginia Beach\, VA and Kalamazoo Institute of Arts\, Kalamazoo\, MI; Miles McEnery Gallery\, New York\, NY; “Between Worlds\,” Frist Center\, Nashville\, TN; “Stars and Flowers\,” Baldwin Gallery\, Aspen\, CO; “Comet Dust & Crystal Shards\,” Jacob Lewis Gallery\, New York\, NY Columbus College of Art & Design\, Joseph V.

SUMMARY:Beverly Fishman: I Dream of Sleep
DESCRIPTION:NEW YORK\, NEW YORK – MILES McENERY GALLERY is pleased to announce an exhibition of new paintings and sculpture by Beverly Fishman. I Dream of Sleep will open 10 September at 525 West 22nd Street and remain on view through 10 October 2020. The show is accompanied by a fully illustrated publication featuring an essay by Amy Rahn. \nSince the early 1980s\, Beverly Fishman has developed a distinctive body of hard-edge\, dimensional\, abstract paintings that are infused with emotion. While her works have been compared to those of Finish Fetish artists like John McCracken and Robert Irwin\, as well as those of Peter Halley\, she affirms that her practice deviates from a direct dialogue with (implicitly male) hard-edged abstraction. Fishman’s works are instead grounded in a “messier lineage of paintings and sculpture that occupy an interchangeable space between form and feeling – that channel loss and joy\, contemplation and analysis along the lines of color.” Shape and color are united with questions of identity. \nThe paintings in I Dream of Sleep are based on the slick\, angular packaging of the pharmaceutical industry. They suggest the sleek corporate marketing and the fluorescent language of caution\, even emergency. Each one contaminates the spaces of art and pharmaceuticals\, speaking of the rage of loss in the language of corporate cure. Instilled with the standardized shapes of mass-produced medications\, Fishman’s works deliver what looks like an opaque\, machine high-gloss nish that\, paradoxically\, is meticulously handmade. \nFishman appropriates familiar and addictive pill forms\, drawing both the philosophies and the physical manifestations of pharmaceuticals into conversation with their intensely felt human repercussions. As an artist who came of age in New York during the AIDS crisis and having cared for multiple ailing family members\, Fishman’s life experiences have been marked by the medicalization of the people she has loved. Deeply personal\, the selection of works on view are partially motivated by her sister Judy’s passing in December 2018 after a month-long stay at a New Jersey hospital. \nBEVERLY FISHMAN (b. 1955\, Philadelphia\, PA) received her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 1977 from Philadelphia College of Art and her Master of Fine Arts degree in 1980 from Yale University. \nRecent solo exhibitions include “I Dream of Sleep\,” Miles McEnery Gallery\, New York\, NY; “Untitled Monotypes\,” Louis Buhl & Co.\, Detroit\, MI; “Fantastic Voyage\, 1985-1987\,” Library Street Collective\, Detroit\, MI; “Future Perfect\,” Kavi Gupta Gallery\, Chicago\, IL; Ronchini Gallery\, London\, United Kingdom; “Synthetic Wonderland\,” Gavlak Gallery\, Palm Beach\, FL; Miles McEnery Gallery\, New York\, NY; “Chemical Sublime\,” Kavi Gupta Gallery\, Chicago\, IL; “T.
