Group show at the Carrie Haddad Gallery in Hudson New York featuring figurative paintings

Galerie Lucida is pleased to present Periphera, an exhibition of Contemporary Realism by local and regional artists who convene periodically to paint “en plein air,” yet maintain distinct and diverse studio practices.

Periphera upends the widely held view that Contemporary Realism is a static, straightforward depiction of reality by exposing the fluid, expressive nature of the movement.

Participating artists Jordan Baker, Kathleen Beausoleil, Charis J. Carmichael Braun, Brooks Frederick, Kristin Künc, Lisa Lebofsky, JaFang Lu, Richard T. Scott, Hyeseung Song, and Patricia Watwood embrace a common discipline, yet their approach to the medium and interpretations of subject are markedly distinct.

With the presentation of paintings representative of each artist’s personal vision and inspired use of traditional techniques, along with comparative groupings of small works from their collective excursions, Periphera straddles the porous edge where private space meets common ground and offers a multivalent glimpse into Contemporary Realist imagery.

Dick Burroughs has curated this exciting show of 1990s Album Covers reimagined by 20 artists.

The National Association of Women Artists invites visionary women artists to contribute to our upcoming exhibition “Celebrating Women Who Tell Our Stories” acknowledging the narratives that drive us, comfort us, or inspire us. Through your artistic lens, explore the nuanced layers of the feminine perspective and contribute to the collective tale of humankind. We seek compelling artworks that transcend mediums, offering a profound reflection on the strength, wisdom, and creativity inherent in the female experience.

Drawing from observation, memory, and imagination, Guno Park explores the ideas behind the act of figure drawing through consistent practice, constant process, and consistent progress.
Showing 70+ drawings all done within the past 5 years, Park exhibits the discipline of drawing while contemplating gesture, structure, anatomy, expression, and composition. One of the exhibition’s main goals is to help inspire the students at Hofstra University to think deeper into the art of expression through the observation of the figure.

The exhibit aims to challenge the traditional perceptions and highlight the individuality of each artist’s interpretation. The artists come from various backgrounds, cultures, and experiences, and their artworks reflect their personal experiences and perspectives on the subject.

The art exhibition not only showcases the artists’ interpretations of skin color but also serves as both a platform for discussion and a challenge to the traditional standards and perceptions. It confronts societal norms and perceptions and encourages viewers to see skin color in a new light.

The timing of the exhibit is also significant, as it comes at a time when conversations about race and representation are at the forefront of social and political discussions. The exhibit serves as a reminder of the power of art to spark awareness and bring about change.

Juror Jeremy Dennis, a contemporary fine art photographer and an enrolled Tribal Member of the Shinnecock Indian Nation in Southampton, NY, says about the exhibition: “I was inspired by the diverse submissions showcasing a profound exploration of human expression and connection. My selection process prioritized authenticity, emotional resonance, and innovative perspectives, resulting in a collection that captures the depth and richness of the human experience through the lens of each artist’s unique vision.”

"Forest Elegy" is a solo exhibition of paintings by Lauren Woods, a graduate of the class of 2010, at Buckham Gallery in Flint, MI. The exhibition showcases large-scale paintings depicting lush, wooded scenes, inviting viewers into a mythological space where decay and growth are intertwined. The exhibition aims to engage the viewer viscerally, considering how the viewer's body relates to the depicted subject, and approaches the work as thresholds of entry. The exhibition is supported by a 2024 Individual Artist Fellowship from the Alabama State Council on the Arts.

Students and Members Exhibition

New York, NY - Forum Gallery presents a two-person exhibition of new and bold figurative works by Alyssa Monks (b. 1977) and Clio Newton (b. 1989), opening Thursday, January 18, 2024. The two women are among today’s most influential, internationally-recognized artists. While each has a unique approach to her art, both artists employ formidable technique to portray a thoroughly contemporary sensibility.

Diving deeply and unapologetically into charged, impassioned moments revelatory of their female subjects, Monks’ oil paintings and Newton’s works in charcoal, colored pencil or oil are vivid expressions arising from the unique personal perspective of each artist, described in her own distinct visual language.

Viewed together, the eleven works in the exhibition are complementary and widely different visual experiences, commanding our attention while illuminating the accomplishments of two visionary leaders of contemporary figuration.

The exhibition opens with a reception for the artists on Thursday, January 18, 2024 from 5:30 to 7:30 pm, and will be on view through Saturday, March 2, 2024.

You are invited to explore our Online Viewing Room for Alyssa Monks | Clio Newton here:

Rachel Bensimon, originally from Toronto and now residing in New York, embarks on an artistic journey that delicately intertwines the innocence and profound intensity of childhood. Holding an MFA from The New York Academy of Art, her work delves into the psychology of capturing the essence of childhood innocence and inadvertent subversity.
Infusing her fascination with dolls, objects of a child's idealization and adoration, into her figures, Rachel's portraits skillfully blur the lines between reality and fantasy. In her recent series, she portrays girls and young women within imaginative contexts, often adorned with animals, flowers, bubbles, and lollipops against patterned backgrounds.
