Bowery Gallery presents the recent work of Monica Bernier in a series of paintings of New York City that are all deeply engaged with architectural space and color. Largely they look at the artist’s native home and are all keenly aware of the structures that surround us in that environment. Often the compositions are conceived of from vantage points on elevated structures like the Metro North platform in Harlem or from Bernier’s eighth floor studio window.

With an opening reception on March 28th, the Bowery Gallery is pleased to present the latest evolution of painted, shaped, and layered panels by Esme´ Thompson. Grouped in lively rapport on gallery walls, the exhibition is a thoughtfully choreographed dance of color and design. Surprising intersections and overlaps intrigue the eye from afar, while varying surfaces invite closer inspection. From any distance and at any scale, Thompson’s alchemy of design, pattern, and color reveals itself like layers of treasure, animated throughout by energy and invention.

Bowery Gallery presents the recent work of Simon Carr Feb 27-March 22, with an opening reception Saturday March 2 from 3-6.

The exhibition features a series of children playing, outdoors, in a park near the artist’s home.

Bowery Gallery is pleased to present recent work by Thaddeus Radell, whose darkly luminous paintings evoke journeys through landscapes of the subconscious. From the artist’s richly layered surfaces—broadly troweled in places, elsewhere delicately incise emerge visions of figures that appear and disappear within atmospheric depths. Bits of embedded burlap suggest a ragged dimension beyond paint. The heavy impasto, set against thinly brushed lines of saturated earth colors, creates living, breathing surfaces.

John Goodrich’s twelfth exhibition at Bowery includes forty recent landscapes, figure paintings and still lifes, all animated by heightened color and incisive brushwork. The paintings reveal how colors and forms can be more than merely descriptive; they can also engage a kind of elemental expression unique to painting.

The Bowery Gallery presents “Recent Paintings” by Younghee Choi Martin: a modern take on Aeschylus's Oresteia Trilogy. Through a massive play of shape and color, these highly worked surfaces address both the density and the fresh, lyric expressiveness of the ancient dramas to reveal a contemporary vision. There is a reductive, modernist integration of the figurative and landscape elements in these works. Through the continual development of the paint, the surface, the composition, and the texture, the narrative is never lost. It breathes through the layers to slowly release a pictorial structure and a lyric dimension.

Combining painting, photography and dance in an installation that emphasizes the immediacy of visual experience, Hearne Pardee extends his involvement with everyday spaces in an exhibition of new work at the Bowery Gallery.

Bowery Gallery is pleased to present the urban cityscapes of Michael Louis Johnson and Tony Serio. Johnson and Serio’s paintings explore upper Manhattan, through incidental views from a window or dense groups of trees in Hudson River Park with their undergrowth which are common themes in their work. The work reveals unexpected relationships as observations of natural and man-made forms as they are translated to the flat surface. The calm sense of place that belies the urgent painting process as Johnson and Serio use their work to reconsider once-familiar shapes and intervals.

The Bowery Gallery is pleased to present Rita Baragona’s recent paintings and drawings of oceans, flower-based still lives and gardens. These are highly energetic, exquisitely sensitive paintings, alive with luminous color and lyrical lines which create rhythmic spatial movement.

Bowery Gallery is pleased to present recent paintings by David Bradford. His recent works are executed in acrylic and burlap on panel. They use a language of color/light, compressed space, scale changes, and frontality. Building from these abstract elements, they reference cities, gardens, landscapes, and objects. The paintings seek, to quote Cezanne, “A harmony that is parallel to nature”.

The Bowery Gallery is pleased to present Robert Braczyk’s recent sculpture.  These wood constructions further Mr. Braczyk’s exploration of form in space and the possibilities of what contemporary sculpture can be. In them he considers the efflorescent forces of tree growth and the structures they produce. Like their inspiration the pieces have both internal and external space and are emphatically three dimensional. They are an actualization of material as subject.

Bowery Gallery is pleased to present an exhibit of new work by Naomi Nemtzow. The current exhibit represents a departure from Nemtzow’s previous work, where she was best known for paintings and collages of the urban landscape. Like many other artists, Nemtzow was profoundly affected by the coronavirus pandemic and ensuing quarantine. Separated from the familiar outside world and social connection, Nemtzow turned inward to assemble compositions from imagination.

Temma Bell is a native New Yorker, but has lived in Iceland and France and now resides in Delhi, in upstate New York. She continues to find inspiration in the landscape, interiors, her surroundings, her family, and the animals in her life, believing that her eye will hopefully make sense of all the complexities, inside and outside.
