Drawing Rooms Solo Project Space:
Andrew Schwartz: Psychic Geography
Andrew Schwartz is a New York based painter. His work investigates the possibilities of abstract visual language using a process-based painting approach that privileges discovery over predetermined outcomes. Working primarily in acrylic on wood panel and heavyweight paper, Andrew creates layered compositions that emerge through improvisation, repetition, and chance. Each piece becomes a site for gesture, erasure, residue, accumulation, excavation, and transformation.
In the Alcove Gallery: 3 Solo Bodies of Works
Deepa Mahajan: Scatter Drawings
Deepa Mahajan is a New York City-based multimedia artist whose practice explores areas of the mind where thoughts and emotions stay unresolved. Through drawings, collages, objects and installations, she explores this unresolved space as both a held state and a state oscillating between two conditions. Her work gives form to this unsettled inner space through material, form and space, exploring anxiety, inner conflict, worrying thought patterns and inner push-pull.
Gail Vachon: Color Stripes and Bars
Gail Vachon's paintings stack horizontal colors, then disrupt and allow colors to bleed into other colors. Color were built up, wiped out, erased and renewed, leaving glimpses of what might have come before. Strips of pattern and texture cut from magazines were added, hinting at the possibility of something recognizable or something not to be seen. In some cases, the bands of color completely abandon their orderliness and whatever they were concealing is crushed.
Jonathan Ricci: Tribute to the Midnight Sun
Jonathan Ricci lives in New Jersey where he works as an artist and educator. His paintings, inspired by color, explore the harmony of relationships on an emotional and physical level. His process begins with a pair of colors arranged in a checkerboard pattern. After changing and layering the paint and finding balanced coexistence in the composition, the addition of found collage elements from bird encyclopedias, clothing patterns, maps and travel documents completes the piece to create a nonlinear story.
Duets Too is an exhibition where artists choose a Duets Partner artist to exhibit with! This group show is a pairing of many Duets Partners arranged and installed in a way that highlights connections between the pairings, as well as strengthens the work individually.
