This year’s collaboration between Rehs Contemporary Galleries in New York and the Art Renewal Center will be on view from October 15 through November 20. Taking Flight: ARC Select 2020 is a “socially distanced” exhibition available for viewing by appointment.
Gallery director Lance Rehs explains, “Due to the prevalence of birds in art, it was plainly obvious that our role is not simply to present and preserve art but to help preserve the inspiration behind the art as well. With that, we decided to team up with the American Bird Conservancy to help raise awareness regarding threats to bird populations and the effects their dwindling numbers have on our ecosystems. While the presence of birds in the artwork is prominent, it is superfluous…the presence of birds in the real world is a necessity.”
The artists—Jasmine Becket-Griffith, Jon Burns, Natalie Featherston, Lucia He‘ nan, Adam Matano, Rob Rey and Josh Tiessen—are Rehs Contemporary Galleries’ award winners from the 14th ARC Salon Competition.

Next Exit New York
Coming off his series that focused on San Francisco and Los Angeles freeway signs, artist Eric Nash’s sights are now set on New York. Now on view at George Billis Gallery's Manhattan location are seven of Nash's new oil paintings and two drawings that explore the signage of New York City freeways. Although Nash's work is tightly rendered, he doesn’t consider himself a photorealist, but rather someone who utilizes those techniques to express ideas.
Monster Mash
Vampires, witches, ghouls and all things that go bump in the night are the theme of the exhibition Monster Mash, now at Abend Gallery.
Inside/Outside
Those familiar with Geoffrey Johnson's populated by inky figures and trailing shadows that bleed into the wet streets, and architectural elements obscured to varying degrees by the misty atmosphere.
Bold Figures; Bold Color
For Brooklyn based painter J Louis, it’s all about balance, which can mean many different things in a composition, but for Louis, it’s about balancing his female figures among a unique landscape of color.
