Beginning July 5 at Bowersock Gallery in Provincetown, Massachusetts, is Modern Man, a new juried group exhibition that will examine the male figure within a modern context.
“While reviewing our 15th anniversary season, we were surprised to realize we hadn’t done this yet,” says gallery owner and curator Steve Bowersock. “We alsorealized, but for the exception of erotica, there are fewer works of art representing males, not only in our own gallery, but in many we’d visited.”
Artists in the juried exhibition include Jayne Adams, who has had a relationship with Bowersock Gallery for several years. “My subjects are local and often people I know. Everything is firsthand. One has to know his subject. It cannot be faked. It is the study of body types, body language and engaging with the action directly that allows for expressive delivery of the form,” Adams says. “Being that direct observer of folks working, doing, task mastering of all types is fascinating. As well, this fits into a broader topic for me for understanding continuums.”

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.

Vampires, witches, ghouls and all things that go bump in the night are the theme of the exhibition Monster Mash, now at Abend Gallery.
