Fish Outta Water is a solo exhibition by the artist Johanna Aenderl, showcasing her large-scale trace monotype drawings and animated shorts. Full of texture and spontaneous mark-making, the work is representational. Through observed drawings and found objects, this series is rooted in places intimately known to the artist (Brooklyn and Midwestern wetlands). Aenderl’s work attends to the nonhuman world in these places by noticing the details, changes, and relationships. By merging observational drawing with metaphor, these composites highlight the impact and reliance humanity has on the natural world.

Reception 2-4pm May 20

An erotic color explosion of sumptuous male machismo in a concrete jungle.

Growing up amidst the beauty of the outdoors, Eric Price found solace and uncertainty in equal measure. From hiking to swimming, sailing to fishing, he was drawn to the water's edge. This connection with nature allowed him to come to terms with this queer identity, and these experiences have informed his art in powerful ways.

In "The Beach Only Few Can See" Price explores the intersection of humanity and nature, focusing particularly on the male figure. The works on display range from intimate portraits of angels caught in private moments, to depictions of men finding solitude and camaraderie in the warmth of the water.

At the Water’s Edge is an exhibition of new works by Annie Wildey that explores the mercurial nature of the coastal landscape. When the surf is up, or the fog looms, when the sunlight glistens on the ocean and clouds dance in a summer sky. Annie works freely and expressively capturing the beauty, energy, and awe of an ever changing landscape.

Abend Gallery presents an exhibition dedicated to the awe-inspiring beauty of nature's landscapes - Contours of Nature: An Exhibition of Landscape Art, featuring 30 talented artists at Abend Gallery's Golden Triangle and Cherry Creek locations in Denver, CO.

Curated by NYAA faculty member Thomas Germano and Juliette Vaissière (NYAA 2020), "Compositional Inventions" features paintings, drawings, prints, and relief sculptures by 18 artists who visually compose in a variety of mediums. Each has been asked to articulate in a short written statement, words that convey their personal approach to composition:
"A critical formal component in all works of art, 'composition' directs the many choices an artist makes when constructing the visual elements of picture making. Composition can be personal, a learned strategy, and/or an intuitive guide that artists use to make decisions when assembling and constructing the visual components of a picture. There are formal issues and countless choices an artist is confronted with that may be underlined with theory and intuition regarding the design of a composition." - Thomas Germano

Abend Gallery is proud to present our upcoming exhibition dedicated to the awe-inspiring beauty of nature's landscapes - Contours of Nature: An Exhibition of Landscape Art. Opening on April 22nd, this show will feature art from 22 talented artists on display at both our Golden Triangle and Cherry Creek locations. Come experience a varied selection spanning paintings and multimedia works that capture some stunning views inspired by nature!

Cara's first solo show in NYC, presented by MM Fine Art at DFN Projects. This show features mixed media, embroidery, natural ephemera, and more!

In the spring of 2022 Reisha Perlmutter traveled to the jungles of the Yucatan Peninsula and was enchanted by the magical waters of the Mexican cenotes.

Once Ruby Vizcarra agreed to share her incredible story, INCANDESCENCE was born, and the artist’s most ambitious multi medium project to date launched.

The exhibition encompasses 8 oil on canvas paintings, a limited edition fine art print, and a collection of photography from both above and below the waterline.

To transcend patrons further into INCANDESCENCE Reisha produced and directed a short film to accompany the exhibition shot on location in the Yucatan as well as en studio in New York City.

The premier of the film and debut of the exhibition will occur on April 13th, 2023 at 685 Third Avenue, NYC from 6-9pm.

ANASTASIYA TARASENKO
Let Me Tell You a Story
March 23 – April 29, 2023
Opening reception: Thursday, March 23, 6-8 PM

Monya Rowe Gallery is pleased to announce a solo exhibition of new paintings by Anastasiya Tarasenkotitled Let Me Tell You a Story. The opening reception for the artist will be held on Thursday, March 23, 6-8 PM. An ONLINE VIEWING ROOM of works on paper will accompany the exhibition.

For her third solo exhibition at the gallery, Tarasenko has created a mythological world comprised of dragons, castles, sea serpents, pegasuses and witches, along with echoes of the fairytales Hansel and Gretel and Rapunzel: “I am exploring our contemporary culture as it intersects with ancient tropes of folk tales, mythology and heroic legends. In all essentials, we are the same as our ancestors, plagued by the same problems and inhabiting the same failing bodies. I lay our desires and vulnerabilities bare.”

“We are thrilled to present this year’s Hartley Invitational, which represents some of the finest and most innovative work in contemporary representational art,” said Jacob Collins, Salmagundi’s President. “The artists in this exhibition demonstrate a remarkable range of skill, vision, and technique, and we are proud to celebrate their achievements.”

Salmagundi wishes to express appreciation and gratitude to Lisa Lebofsky from the Alumni Association of the New York Academy of Art for acquainting us with several remarkable realist painters emerging from that institution.
