This year’s show will feature an eclectic group of 14 artists who have impressively demonstrated their life-long study of anatomy, depth, color, light and unique vision.
Among those women celebrated are renowned representational artists Paige Bradley and Erin Anderson, classically-influenced Nancy France-Vaz, and rising stars Alexandrea Nicholas-Jennings and Sherri Wolfgang.
Sherri Wolfgang was juried in for her jubilant piece, Taking Flight, part of a new series called Grounded/ Ungrounded, which speaks to the tumultuous effects of the pandemic on the typical experience of an early 20-something.
“From 2020 to 2022, nearly every area of these young adults’ lives has been ungrounded, upended and rearranged, from their experiences of finishing college, to maintaining friendships and relationships, to starting their careers,” Wolfgang says. “Rather than crystalizing their understanding of themselves and the world around them, this generation finds itself yearning for any sense of normalcy and stability.”

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.

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.
