This individual experience brings me the most joy. Inspiration often starts with a subject already in mind or is gathered from various sources, such as personal experiences, reading, music, or discussions. I typically use brushes on canvas when I paint, sometimes beginning with minimal preliminary drawings.

Jan 2, 2025 – Feb 11, 2025As a painter, I primarily use acrylic paints. I express my subjects through a minimalist approach, utilizing color, line, texture, and shape to evoke the desired emotional response and convey my interpretation of the subject.

Jan 2, 2025 – Mar 31, 2025My multi-media practice finds its psychological analogs in blurring beauty and grotesquery, nostalgia, and critique. I’m interested in the universal psychology of the every day, then making it my own. Using recognizable household objects, I paint and deconstruct them, transforming these banal objects into sculptures. I situate this practice in a place where high and low interact and cross-pollinate. In so doing, the work suggests an underground or alternative narrative of how and why visual ideas develop; because my language draws in such a large part from the private realm of domestic environments, the work elicits emotional responses that are both uncannily familiar and disarmingly strange.

Dec 3, 2024 – Jan 3, 2025In 2020, Don Harger was an artist with an inventory problem. He had hundreds of paintings which were headed to storage. He also had a good friend, Bob McKay. Bob called his art contacts to let them know Don’s plight. “And, by the way, how can you help?” he asked.

Sep 3, 2024 – Oct 27, 2024Not long ago, the debate wasn’t about whether AI “art” was art but whether color photography was art. William Eggleston’s 1976 exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, Color Photographs by William Eggleston, settled that debate. It was. It is.

Sep 3, 2024 – Oct 27, 2024Chinatown, a dynamic fusion of old and new, has always been a magnetic pull for Joe Rabcow as a street photographer. This energetic neighborhood, a microcosm of New York City’s energy, offers an unparalleled stage for capturing the raw, unfiltered essence of human interaction.

Jul 9, 2024 – Sep 12, 2024“I remember as a child how certain household objects – tools in the basement, a desktop cigarette lighter, an antique eggbeater – held fascination because I saw their form before I understood their function. They were distinctive, inevitable, seeming like a species of animal or plant. Abandoned or ancient buildings are similarly potent – with their functionality gone, their pure form and character emerge. While nature reclaims them, they enter a new state combining their once-thriving older selves and the oblivion that awaits all things. Their being takes a last stand in the gulf of time, where beauty and sadness ensue.

Apr 30, 2024 – Jul 1, 2024JANE KLEIMAN has been working with clay since 1998. In addition to traditional, functional ware, she works with alternative firing techniques, such as Raku, pit fire, and Saggar Fire. All pieces are one-of-a-kind, often hand-built or thrown and/or altered. Because alternative firing techniques are low fired, the clay remains porous and fragile, and therefore non-functional for food or liquid.

May 3, 2024 – Jul 1, 2024When Mr. Harari was an architect in New York and New Jersey from 1983 – 2003, he wasn’t thinking about a fine art practice. Until he was. When he turned to create fine art, he explored painting, drawing, printmaking, and photography. In 2009, after initial hesitations about digital photography, he jumped in and found more than expected. “The digital revolution intimidated me at first. I intended to use the camera to support my pursuit of painting, to aid my understanding of color as a painter rather than an architect. The act of photographing, again, opened me to the magic power of place and the fleeting mysteries of the moment. The camera is a wonderful tool to heighten perception and awareness – the act of focus. City, street, timeless ruin, sunlit stream, fleeting, momentary shadows, and reflections are all there for me,” said Mark.

Apr 30, 2024 – Jul 1, 2024The work of Zee Cordero aka Deco PopZ is a vibrant fusion of influences drawn from iconic Pop artists of the 70s, 80s, and 90s. Inspired by the groundbreaking contributions of figures like Picasso, Warhol, Haring, and Lichtenstein, he aims to capture the essence of their bold, expressive styles in his work. Embracing the vivid colors, dynamic compositions, and societal commentary prevalent in their works, Zee strives to reinterpret and modernize these influences through his artistic lens.

Apr 30, 2024 – Jul 1, 2024Joseph Iorio is not afraid of heights. He’s an ironworker whose daytime haunts are the bridges and skyscrapers of New York City. Back home in New Jersey, Joe is an artist. He paints abstract works that radiate the city’s chaotic energy. Intricate patterns mimic the complexity of lines and forms he sees from his high perches. What you might not expect is the bold color.

Mar 5, 2024 – Apr 29, 2024Landscape painting has a rich and deep history in Chinese culture. In Western art, it didn’t become a genre worthy of an artist’s sole attention until the 17th century. It is also important for the four artists in this exhibit: Barbara Friedman, Seth Ruggles Hiler, Lucy Kalian, and Carol Magnatta.

Feb 6, 2024 – Mar 4, 2024Born in Bryn Mawr and raised in West Chester Pennsylvania, Monica Nask received her BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design and went on to study painting at the School of Visual Arts, NY and the New York Academy of Art, NY. After 20 years in New York, she moved to the coast of New Jersey. It is there that she discovered her love for the horizon.

Jan 2, 2024 – Feb 5, 2024Rothenberg’s works are expressionistic. Her various surfaces reveal employed materials – ranging from Mylar balloons collected from the coastline, graphite draftsmanship, photographs with experimental exposures, and unbridled painterly application on canvas.

Jun 3, 2022 – Jul 5, 2022Created during COVID and reflect that time and the myriad of feelings it generated.

Jun 3, 2022 – Jul 5, 2022For 17 years I enjoyed having an apartment on Elizabeth Street, in Manhattan. I eventually found my way down to the lighting district, an area of the Bowery between Kenmare and Grand streets. There I recorded the dream-like imagery of hanging crystal lamps visible through the large glass panes. I continued to photograph on this stretch of the city for about the next ten years. The last images in this series were made in 2020…

Sep 17, 2021 – Nov 1, 202144 years. That’s how long Michael Malpass lived. Long before upcycling became a buzz word in the art world, Michael was welding scrap metals into large spheres.

Jul 16, 2021 – Sep 7, 2021“I began documenting houses around Jersey City with no thought as to where it might lead me. I love architecture and it saddened me to see so many once-proud but modest 19th-century homes turned into architectural nightmares due to lack of funds, fast fixes, aluminum siding, and indifference to heritage and design.

Sep 17, 2021 – Nov 1, 2021The playfulness of this series is actually representing the opposite of the situation that the world was faced with. The artwork is whimsical, almost childlike with elements of math, English and science homework.

Jul 12, 2019 – Sep 3, 2020
