The dictionary defines diva as “a great woman singer, a prima donna.” These are present in the person of Josephine Baker etc but the word is also taken in the broader sense of a flamboyant heroine, here historical or literary. The same holds true for the heroes. Whether heroes and heroines are possible in the modern world is open to question. The paintings are of modest format; the focus is on single or three-quarter figures. Having said that, the usual suspects are present, Genghi, Marie Antoinette (at least in painted versions) as well as James Baldwin, Lena Horne, Che... [ Read all ]


Forthcoming Exhibitions


JOHN CULLEN
"All About Reflections"
June 11- June 29, 2013
Reception: Thursday, June 13, 5-8pm

Chelsea: Viridian Artists, Inc. is pleased to present John Cullen's first solo exhibition at our gallery entitled "All About Reflections" from June 11 to June 29, 2013. There will be a reception to meet the artist on Thursday June 13, 5-8pm.

The focus of Cullen's imagery is water, presented abstractly, with flowing lines that echo the fluidity of water's movement and currents. His acrylic paintings on wood panels are not large and are described by the artist as "abstract impressionism". Sometimes he is painting the rhythms of flowing water in such a way that narratives of movement are created and filled with the simplicity of nature abstracted. Occasionally other forms overlay the liquefied tendrils, but always the viewer is confronted with water's beautifully rhythmic journey.

Though he has worked many years and in many differing ways studying and recording the waves and currents of streams and rivers, the current selection of work encompasses selections from the last five years with a concentration on the "rhythm" se... [ Read all ]

There will be a reception on Thursday May 2, 2013 6-8pm. Sills has been a featured artist in the book “100 New York Painters” and will be interviewed by the author, Cynthia Dantzic on Saturday, May 11th at 4pm. On the last day of the exhibition, Saturday May 18th, there will be a closing reception from 4-6pm. Gallery hours are Tuesday- Saturdays 12-6pm.

With her life-size freestanding painted 2-D sculptures, the artist Susan Sills whimsically restructures and re-constructs art history. Enlarged to life size, they are cut out of birch plywood and skillfully painted in oils in the style of each Old Master. Using a jigsaw, she releases familiar images from the confinement of the frame and thrusts them into real space to confront the contemporary viewer.

Continuing a project she started 20 years ago, Sills’ sculptures explore the magic of encount... [ Read all ]
