The term "memoir" as a theme refers to a collection of works that express personal memories, experiences, and stories of the artist. It's a deeply personal narrative that captures specific moments or periods in the artist's life, often evoking a sense of intimacy and authenticity.
The aim is to connect with the audience on a personal level, inviting viewers to engage with the art in a way that resonates with their own experiences and memories.

Holy Terrors is a show about family. The artist’s family albums were lost upon her family immigrating to the United States. As such, she primarily works from found black and white family portraits sourced from thrift stores, markets, vintage shops, or donated, having lost the ones from her own life and that of her forebears. Her monochromatic visions glow with kaleidoscopic color, watching the viewer watch them back in turn.
There is a constant thread of nostalgia inherent in Martins’ practice. The photos she employs frequently capture moments of wonder, melancholy, strength and vulnerability, their hollow framework inviting the viewer to find themselves in the images. The process of watercolor both captures the immediacy of childhood and like adolescence, its inevitable fading. In her words, “In Portuguese we have a term, saudade, which is nostalgia for a place you've never been or something you've never experienced. Nostalgia for imaginary experiences”. The show conjures relatable stories as she shows the joy and excitement of childhood, the angst of maturing, and the complicated dynamics of adulthood with conflicts often raging beneath the surface.

“Go Figure,” our end of year group exhibit, opens Friday, October 4th, 2024 at Ford Gallery PDX in SE Portland.

This exhibition presents new works created using reductive linocut techniques, where each colour represents a different layer carved into a block and inked in relief. The images are set in the artist's home community of Callander, a small town in northern Ontario, Canada. In a small, lakeside community that booms in the summer months with cottagers, the experience of growing up combines beauty and boredom with fantastical and mythic elements. The compositions are meant to be tableau vivants, with details that the viewer can move between to form an open-ended narrative, and where the numerous pictures work together to describe a world that blends fiction with reality. The colour palette is muted and nostalgic, while the figures direct their gaze away from the viewer, absorbed in idle introspection with a suspended sense of time.

Lupton's work weaves together individual and societal rituals, spiritual tension, and self-defining myth, thereby illuminating the various attempts at and desires for clarity. These overlaps create narratives that play out on the canvas – borrowing their basis from Greek myths, religious rituals, rock lyrics, modern dating plights, domestic routines, history, introspection, sexuality, and compulsions – as Lupton casts a contemporary world of anxiety though questions of identity, masculinity, ego, modern-day loneliness, domesticity, and mental health.

This exhibition is part of a Biennial series and group exhibition that affords us a statewide perspective and brings together artist’s work from their studios. This series has brought six artists together under a curatorial premise that included many different media such as: painting, photography, sculpture, mixed-media, drawing, studio-glass. What makes an artist’s work unique to them? This exhibition is an exploration of what it means to live in today’s world as a working artist. What keeps them coming back to the studio, to their creative lives. The exhibition will pull the curtain back into the heart of what makes these artists work in the ways they do. Using techniques, materials, and varied approaches to keep their artistic drive as interesting to them, as to encounter the result.

From September 12, 2024, VillageOneArt proudly presents the Fall 2024 survey Group Exhibition, “Stretched Out,” featuring works by a range of contemporary artists working in exploring new horizons of painting. Works by Dayana Beisenova, Chukwuemeka Anthony Chukwu, Xinxin Din, Xue Fei, James Gardner, Roast Hoggmann, Yong Eun Kwon, Gianna Putrino, Leah Schrager, Cydney Williams, Hans Wendel, Jingyu Xu, Li Xu and Xue Zheng and give a compelling insight into new directions of painting moving into the late 2024. Works on view span expressionism, photorealism and abstraction, with an expert sense of color commuting mood and meaning across the variety of subject matter these artists depict. Echoing a range of imagery, in the words of artist Gianna Putrino works on view offer, “a response to the nostalgia and desire for an imagined world.” Echoing expansion and ideation of a wider vision for the future, “Stretched Out” pushes back against the perceived limits of contemporary painting.

Nick Knight and SHOWstudio Gallery announce Shadow-Ban, an exhibition on sex in modern art, including existing and new works by artists including Nobuyoshi Araki, Ray Caesar, Dinos Chapman, Oh de Laval, Daniel Austin Lopez, Simon Foxton, Miles Greenberg, Sonny Hall, Pierre Molinier, George Rouy, Peter Saville, Michaela Stark, Emma Stern, Tom of Finland, and Von Wolfe, together with a collaboration with Tom of Finland Foundation.

Shadow-Ban defies global censorship and the restrictions placed on visual culture today. Social media posts of even the slightest sexual nature are resulting in artists and creatives being shadow-banned by the morals of an algorithm. By definition, shadow-ban means to block (a user) from a social media site or online forum without their knowledge, usually by making their posts and comments no longer visible to other users.

Established in 1984, the non-profit Tom of Finland Foundation protects, preserves and promotes the legacy of Tom of Finland, and supports LGBTQ+ artists’ creative freedom of expression.

Shadow-Ban runs at the SHOWstudio Gallery in London from 19th September-15th November.

This exhibition, which opens to the public on September 14th, 2024, features over 40 artists whose works engage with themes of order and chaos, intimacy, interaction, and unity.

“Imaginary Homelands” by Alicia Brown and Daisy Patton

In Imaginary Homelands, the body becomes a vessel for storytelling, exploring identity, diaspora, place, and time. Inspired by Dutch master portraiture, Alicia Brown’s gorgeously decorated figures pose as a pointed connection to the history of the Caribbean and Colonialism. Patron’s focus on women from the southwest Asia and the Northern African region speaks to her efforts to re(connect) with Iranian culture and the inferiority of women's lives which often go unrecognized despite how they carry forward family histories.

The subjects are varied and diverse as one could imagine. Not surprising, when the call for art presented an unspecific theme. A Celebration of Autumn attracted all kinds of works of art which was not difficult to choose from. Come and see the variety and the rhythms of the exhibition.

Anna Zorina Gallery is pleased to announce Relatos de Origen/Origin Stories, Alonsa Guevara’s fourth solo exhibition with the Gallery. The show features the artist’s latest series of paintings centered on exploring new beginnings and the various kinds of origin stories. These narratives include birth, but also the important moments and milestones that profoundly shape our identities, ones that often result in a sense of rebirth. Guevara’s paintings connect these personal accounts with archetypal tales that have resonated throughout humanity for millennia in order to tap into the collective unconscious, revealing the shared emotions that connect us all to our origins.

“…the visionary content of artists who make work as a direct animistic contact with the paranormal world, often mediumistically, and who do not make the work for any part of the art world canon, but rather fir personal and/or community or cultural reasons. For this exhibition we are most interested in the works that serve as vessels of real spiritual connection, whether achieved through personal or community belief, communication with or direct and immediate presentation of a vision.” Randall Morris.

The Brooklyn Artists Exhibition, illuminating the unparalleled breadth of talent in our borough. Uniting more than 200 artists, this major group show highlights the remarkable creativity and diversity of Brooklyn’s populace. The exhibition kicks off our 200th anniversary celebration and carries on the Brooklyn Museum’s tradition of amplifying voices from every corner of our community.

Reisha Perlmutter’s oil paintings capture and secure our attention with a virtuoso performance of technical accomplishment. She makes compelling images of women, submerged and moving through water, bathed in a diffuse and fluid medium that suggests an otherworldly existence. Painted in a forensically-accurate representational style, her ethereal scenarios insist on a sensuous and corporeal physicality.

Perlmutter’s deft handling confers a convincing sense of immanent reality through a rigorous rendering of tonal value, subtle colour and delicate expression of the texture of skin and hair. The aquatic world is conjured up by her skilful description of rippling, glassy reflections, sparkling effervescences and luminous modulations of the ‘chiaroscuro’ effects of a body suspended in water.

A recurrent theme is that of descent and escape into the ‘other’. The exhibition title ‘As Above, So Below’ implies a nether world of experience accessed through some form of portal. Myth, legend and religion all sanctify water sources as openings into profound spiritual experience. Reisha Perlmutter’s atmospheric and sensual paintings with their allusions to rebirth and regeneration take us closer to such experiences.

Cuturi Gallery proudly presents its annual Summer Group Show, an alluring medley of themes that delves into visual metaphors and narratives. This exhibition features the works of 10 promising Singaporean artists: Aisha Rosli, Casey Tan, Faris Heizer, Israfil Ridhwan, Joel Seow, Shen Jiaqi, Vanessa Liem, Khairulddin Wahab, Marla Bendini, and Yanqing Low. Each artist brings a distinctive style enriched by a diverse tapestry of narratives and inspirations. Their works explore themes such as the intricacies of the human psyche, the delicate nuances of femininity, the concept of masculinity, and the multifaceted experience of transgender identity. Their art also examines everyday life through cinematic vignettes, using figurative and material elements as metaphors for contemporary experiences. Additionally, the works draw on national archives to examine the evolving societal roles of women amidst Singapore’s industrialisation and the anthropogenic histories and textile art of the Southeast Asian archipelago.

Having honed their skills at esteemed local art institutions like LASALLE, NAFA, and SOTA, these contemporary artists have catapulted onto the global visual arts stage, sharing their works with audiences at large. The Summer Group Show will be on view at Cuturi Gallery from 17 A

Curated by independent curator nico w. okoro, Against Dystopia features works by ten international artists representing twelve cities across the United Kingdom, Jamaica, and all five regions of the United States. The drawings, paintings, photography, sculpture, installation, and textiles in the exhibition inhabit a spectrum of anti-dystopian thought, from mobilizing conceptualism to overcome historic traumas and the precarity of the present, to envisioning future utopias against seemingly insurmountable odds. Filtered through the lens of each artist’s distinct lived experience and approach, these works resist inheritance of the status quo, bravely working against dystopia at all costs.

These artists fought with Giuseppe Garibaldi to unify Italy. Please visit www.garibaldimeuccimuseum for all of Annamarie Trombetta’s exhibition event.

Jenny's fourth show with Dowling Walsh, featuring cut flower still lifes and haunted interiors.

The latest body of artwork is focusing on the ever changing facade of New York City as well as abandoned buildings through out the East cost through the Midwest.
This would include theaters, schoolhouses and factories and mom & pop storefronts. This is a passion of mine is to explore and create works of art that speak of the history of a area that is disappearing from the American Landscape.
I am trying to find the right view that is not the norm from the everyday bystander.
My love of textures is a constant presence in my work and the rough surfaces are vital through the ever-changing layers of graffiti and dirt. This is also emphasized through the constant layers of paint that comes through when creating a painting.
It’s with these sometimes ugly, colorful patinas that express a moment in time that is often gone or erased through constant change of the urban environment.
It’s with this constant change as an artist to always carry a sketchbook and camera in hand, never knowing what could be and never shutting down that curiosity factor of what could be a potential painting.

For her first solo show, Kelly Robert, the Italian-based American artist presents fourteen sculptures in terra cotta and enamel, marble, and for the first time, also in bronze. Included in these is her largest work to-date: a sculpture in marble measuring 184 cm.
Robert uses the human form to explore the spiritual and bodily impact of life-changing experiences. In the artist’s own words, the idea behind each piece “is a representation, in a way, of a transitional moment, where your life is forever impacted by what's happening”. Each sculpture is an homage to such transformational shifts in being.
The term “uplift” was chosen for the title for its relation to both the emotional and material dimension of her work. Like Robert’s figures, the organic materials with which she creates her sculptures once rose, under pressure, from the depths to present themselves in their current state.
As the artist states: “It is my hope that this body of work offers us an insight into our resilience as humans just as we witness the Earth pushing itself forward in its uplift process. I want my work to remind us that even in the most difficult moments, we can push through and rise beyond what we perceive as holding us back."

The name that can be named is not the eternal name.

The nameless is the beginning of heaven and Earth.

Welancora Gallery is pleased to present Metamorphoses | Μεταμορφώσεις, a solo presentation of a suite of self-portraits and other works on paper and panel by Darryl Keith Babatunde Smith. The title of the show takes its name from Ovid’s 8 CE epic, Metamorphoses, which tells the story of the creation of the world to Julius Caesar’s death. The poem utilizes real events and mythology to confront issues related to transformation and love. Smith’s extensive research and mastery of linguistics and classical studies provide the basic framework for the works in the show, as he utilizes myth and language as a way to understand his journey as a queer Black man. In the same way that one myth flows into another in Ovid’s epic, transformations occur across and throughout Smith’s works, each of which is a representation of a state of time and being in his life. Closely following the era of Greco-Roman antiquity, Smith refers to marble statues and black-figure/red-figure vase paintings, both of which have represented African people. The delicacy and softness of Smith’s works in metalpoint, gold leaf, and egg tempera lend themselves to the artist’s self-healing, vulnerability, and reclamation of space through portraiture.

An exhibition of new works

Price's art, set against the backdrop of Provincetown, captures the unbridled freedom and visibility embraced by the queer community—a sanctuary where kinship flourishes. In his forthcoming exhibition, Price weaves inspiration from cherished works of art, many imbued with queer themes. "Evasion Redux," a homage to Jared French's "Evasion," portrays the tumultuous dance between self-acceptance and societal expectations, positioning the figure within a haven of queer solace. "First Timers" reveals three young men, bravely and provocatively exploring their sexuality publicly for the first time, basking in the glow of the sun and newfound liberation. In "Who Wants to Play," a young man uncovers enchantment by the shore.

A show examining a generation of artists trying to find and understand new forms of intimacy in a new and ever-changing world, upended by the pandemic. A collection of artists who entered grad school together, but ended apart. Each finding their own new way of surviving and creating.

Most artists tend to concentrate on their one chosen medium either in 2-D works such as painting, drawing, printmaking, photography, or in 3-D works, sculpture, ceramic, glass work, etc. - one or the other but not both. This particular show is of work by artists who pursue both 2-D and 3-D works and also Video. It will be interesting to see how these artists have expanded their creativity not limited to one medium only,

This is the 5th international exchange exhibition by 49 artists from Japan and United States.

Please enjoy their thoughts put into each small works of “art for happiness”.

A potion of sales will be donated to the Japanese Red Cross Ishikawa as a relief for the Noto Peninsula Earthquakes.

All artwork is $200 and under.

Group Exhibition: Letter from New York

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.

Group exhibition

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.

"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 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.

Jiannan's Artist Residency culminates in an solo exhibition of his recent work at our flagship store in New York City.

Entitled 'The Death of Dragon,' the exhibition includes 8 distinct works: each a world unto itself featuring a diverse cast of characters -- politicians, bathers, film personalities alongside characters from the artist’s own life.

The show will run at 208 Mott St. in NYC from Thursday, Feb 8 through Thursday, Feb 15. Curated by Charlotte Grussing.

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.

Dayana Beisenova invites you to explore vibrant canvases that act as portals to profound psychological landscapes. These abstract paintings, inspired by the captivating intricacies of the Rorschach test, serve as invitations for a deeply personal journey of self-discovery. They reflect the intricate tapestry of human experiences, fostering introspection and self-understanding in a materialistic world.

By challenging conventional beliefs, Dayana Beisenova presents a perspective where humanity isn't merely machines generating thoughts; rather, we are a collection of thoughts shaping the fabric of reality.

My work being presented alongside other gallery artists at Art Miami Art Fair with Friedrichs Pontone Gallery

Athens Art Gallery is pleased to present the solo exhibition of the American artist Darryl Keith Babatunde Smith titled: Whispered Lines. A polyglot, and knowledgeable of the ancient and contemporary Greek language, inspired by the ancient sculpture, as well as by his own image, the artist is going to present a series of 15 works on paper.

The curator Elizabeth Plessa writes: “The painting of Darryl Keith Babatunde Smith or ΔΚΒΣ, in the Greek version of his name and personality, seems to be defined by the many aspects of time. Smith studies languages in order to traverse the time between his own time and the texts of the art he loves. The multilingual titles of his works refer not only to various chapters of mythology and culture, but also to a peculiar bridging between ancient languages and his own, contemporary English. Even the material that he mostly uses has passed through centuries from the Northern Renaissance until today. Like the pages from the time of a journal, each of his works is, to him, the encoded memory of a personal moment which has been immersed in ancient Greek sculpture and the myths that birthed it. Between that past and the present, the body stands silent, his own body, depicted in ancient positions that approach painting through the ways of sculpture."

It has now been exactly one year since Gallery Poulsen returned to the international art fairs (after a hiatus forced by COVID-19) at last year’s Art Miami art fair.

Aqua Art Miami is the premier location for art aficionados to procure works by young, emerging and mid-career artists. Throughout the years, the fair has continued to solidify itself as a completely unique art fair, consistently staying true to its signature relaxed yet energetic vibe. A roster of well respected international galleries will showcase the fresh artists' works in the intimate exhibition rooms, which open into the beautiful courtyard of the classic South Beach hotel.

Growing up on the island of Jamaica, Massachusetts painter Andrae Green says that the Caribbean Sea never played a huge part in his conscious life, but he was always aware of its presence. He knew, unconsciously, that he could go to it whenever he wanted and that it would always be there for him. He remembers his father bringing his family to Kingston Harbor and watching the young boys jump off the docks, into the abyss. Their fearless trust in the sea always fascinated him. Their leaps of faith inspired him.

Since moving to western Massachusetts and no longer having easy access to the sea, Green feels a longing that has translated into his most recent body of work: paintings that speak to the limitless potential for human imagination and freedom (a perspective that is very needed in these times) and drawings about weightlessness and freedom, all inspired by bodies of water and the Caribbean landscape. Green says that in the Caribbean mind, the sea, “Brings both joy and fear, love and hate, hope and resentment.”

Anna Zorina presents “Cast Shadows,” James Razko’s debute solo exhibition featuring his latest series of paintings, “Monomyth,” and recent work from his acclaimed “Tiles” series. In “Cast Shadows,” Razko masterfully employs what he calls “hyper-illusion,” challenging viewers to distinguish between reality and imagination. “Monomyth” initially resembles collages but then transforms into intricate mythologically-pregnant manipulations of compressed space. “Meanwhile, in ‘Tiles,’ Razko merges Western Trompe L’oeil and Islamic mosaic traditions, revealing complex narratives beneath the lifelike surface, marked by the passage of time and conflict.” Razko’s work across both series underscores the pivotal role of illusion in transcending personal and cultural boundaries while exploring universal themes of humanity.

Roots and Vessels delves into the intricate tapestry of human existence, exploring the profound themes of ancestry, the body, lineage, and family portraits. This exhibition features works by nationally acclaimed artists Andrae Green, Billie Lee, Daisy Patton, Lisa Iglesias, and Mark Guglielmo. The diverse works of these contemporary artists invite you to explore the multifaceted connections that bind us to our past, present, and future. The artists in this exhibition employ a range of mediums to convey the essence of lineage, reminding us that our roots are not just a place but a profound part of who we are. The artists included in this exhibition are connected through process by mining family archives and found footage, recalling memories of home and imagined landscapes, and even collaborating with family members. In many of these works, the body serves as a vessel for these stories. These artists illuminate the complexities of how we can carry the imprints of generations, embodying both the history and future of our families. This exhibition is curated by Professor and Gallery Director Priya N. Green. The artist panel will be moderated by CCSU Curatorship students Wayka Galarza-Rodriguez and Emilie López.

Salon 21 is pleased to present Incorporeum, a solo exhibition by Lucía Rodríguez Pérez, opening to the public on Thursday, October 5, 2023. Rodríguez Pérez’s work explores the allure of color and the uncertain nature of space. Through her use of shapes and shades, she creates a connection between representation and abstraction, defying realism. The exhibition showcases a series of nine paintings that transport the viewer to a dream-like world. The carefully chosen color palettes create patterns and shapes that fill the canvas, encouraging one to explore the work both as a representation and a surface. By embracing ambiguity as a conceptual space beyond language, Rodríguez Pérez challenges the audience to piece together one’s own interpretation of this reality. The work encourages the viewer to comprehend lived experiences from a new perspective, where illusion and abstraction converge.

Friends & Lovers is an expansive group exhibition that centers on the relationships between artists and their subjects and explores the infinite ways (both past and present) we are influenced by our inner circles. Highlighting a range of media, practices, and approaches to artmaking, artists in the exhibition include María Berrío, Peter Cain, Sophie Calle, Srijon Chowdhury, Alex Bradley Cohen, Will Cotton, Patricia Cronin, Anthony Cudahy, John Currin, Bernadette Despujols, Christopher Duffy, Nicole Eisenman, Shanique Emelife, Awol Erizku, Eric Fischl, LaToya Ruby Frazier, Ewan Gibbs, Jerrell Gibbs, Nan Goldin, Felix González-Torres, Jenna Gribbon, Emiliana Henriquez, Patty Horing, Doron Langberg, Shona McAndrew, Dave McKenzie, Sam McKinniss, Marilyn Minter, Alice Neel, Arcmanoro Niles, Aliza Nisenbaum, Jennifer Packer, Elizabeth Peyton, Jack Pierson, Alessandro Raho, LJ Roberts, Audrey Rodriguez, Thomas Ruff, Paul Mpagi Sepuya, Mike Silva, Rudolf Stingel, Ruby Sky Stiler, Billy Sullivan, Claire Tabouret, Alessandro Teoldi, Wolfgang Tillmans, Jim Torok, Justin Wadlington, Xiao Wang, Anna Weyant, D’Angelo Lovell Williams, and Sung Jik Yang.

ETHER CREATURE, a solo exhibition of works by Charlotte Segall, curated by Greenpoint Gallery Director Shawn James.

Opening: Thursday, Sept 14, 2023, 7-11pm

Greenpoint Gallery is pleased to present ETHER CREATURE, a solo exhibition of paintings and drawings by Brooklyn-based artist Charlotte Segall. Curator Shawn James explains, “Segall’s works exist between two realms. There is the realm we know, the tangible and familiar, and then there is something else that beckons us in. We don’t quite know what this other world holds, but we sense it moving, and we are sensitized to something inter-dimensional.”

Segall explains that she is “always trying to create a sense of dramatic event. The event itself is usually not clear, but it’s clear that the people and animals involved are invested. They are eager or entranced, curious, intentional, forceful, pleasured, exhausted, in danger, transcendent, transforming, noble, abject, and usually trying or have tried their absolute best. Each character is packed with its own hero’s journey. In this way, I offer up a life philosophy about what it feels like to pursue meaning and resonance. The ability to create impact is one definition of power— and empowerment is always being negotiated, both inside and out.”
