Foley Gallery Subtext II: Meditations, by Wyatt GalleryMay 17th

Wyatt Gallery Subtext II: Meditations  May 17th - June 25th 2017 Reception: May 17th 6-8pm   Foley Gallery is pleased to present Subtext II: Meditations, a solo exhibition featuring works by Wyatt Gallery. This will be the artist's second solo exhibition with the gallery. Meditations move the Subtext series towards a closer connection with the artist's spiritual practice of meditation by identifying opportunities for an urban-mindfulness experience. The photographs in this series are sourced from found advertising spaces throughout the New York City subway system. Years of glue, paper, scraping, painting, gluing...repeat, have left clues of the palimpsests that have been recorded for years if not decades. Gallery transforms these evolving abstractions into UV cured photographic plates, that reference the period of black paintings by Robert Rauschenberg in the 1950's or the French décollage art of the 1960's Nouveau Réalisme movement. The viewer is presented with a scene that may have only been visible for hours, maybe days - until the next advertisement is placed on top, transforming the space yet again. By leaving the walls as found, un-manipulated and uncropped, Subtext challenges the ability to let go of control and accept what is, while reminding the viewer that all is perfect in its imperfection and our inner scars create our true beauty. Meditations continue the dialogue of the original Subtext series by getting further in tune with Gallery's personal spiritual practice. Gazing into these spaces, Gallery finds reverence and tranquility. Wyatt uses photography to examine a sense of spirituality and resiliency found within spaces of emptiness, destruction, and loss. For a moment, we may find quiet contemplation and transcendence in a context where Subtext becomes more powerful than the rush around us.   Gallery received his BFA in photography at the Tisch School of the Arts at New York University in 1997. Currently the executive director of For Freedoms, he is the recipient of numerous honors and awards such as the Fulbright Fellowship, PDN 30, and ICP's Infinity Award. His photographs have been exhibited throughout the world and are in major private and public collections including the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, the George Eastman House, the New Orleans Museum of Art, Twitter, and American Express.   Subtext II: Meditations will remain on view through June 25th, 2017. Foley Gallery is open Wednesday through Saturday, 11 - 6pm, Sunday 12:30 - 6pm. To request images; please contact the gallery at 212.244. 9081 or info@foleygallery.com.

Barakat Gallery the Gandhara Schist Sculpture of a Bodhisattva

Gandhara Schist Sculpture of a Bodhisattva 3rd Century AD - 4th Century AD 33.625 inches high In the Buddhist religion, Bodhisattvas are souls who have attained enlightenment and no  longer need to reincarnate, but forsake nirvana and choose to come back to the earthly plane  in order to alleviate the suffering of others. This stunning Gandharan sculpture of a Bodhisattva,  created by the first culture to represent the Buddha in his human form, reveals that these   spiritual beings were celebrated even then, as Buddhism began to spread from India eastwards.  This Bodhisattva is depicted wearing elaborated modeled robes with carefully carved folds.  He sports an elegant coiffure and is adorned in fine jewelry as was appropriate for a worldly  incarnation of the Buddha. Originally, this sculpture probably stood in a niche on the exterior  of a stupa or shine where it would have guided the masses on the path towards enlightenment.

The Sag Harbor Whaling Museum May 6th

Dear Friends, Our summer season has begun and we're officially open! We're thrilled to be kicking things off this weekend with our first exhibit, "de Kooning and Friends." Join us for the opening reception on Satuday, May 6thfrom 6:00 to 8:00pm. Our upcoming calendar of events and exhibits for May can be viewed below and our full 2017 summer season calendar can be viewed by clicking HERE. We hope to see you soon! - The Sag Harbor Whaling & Historical Museum de Kooning and Friends Works by Mary Montes Opening Reception: Saturday, May 6th, 6:00 - 8:00pm May 6 - May 22 Artist Mary Montes' solo exhibition titled "de Kooning and Friends" is a passionate display of her abstract expressionistic figures of the New York School during the mid-late 20th century. An ever present inspiration to many of today's contemporary painters, these icons of the New York art scene that were instrumental in securing the American aesthetic's bold and energetic vibe, such as Willem de Kooning, Andy Warhol, Jackson Pollock, Costantino Nivola & Bob Rauschenberg are portrayed in her recent work fittingly shown at the Sag Harbor Whaling & Historical Museum. Her work has been exhibited in the Lowe Art Museum, College of Arts and Science at Miami University, Andy Gato Galleries, Museum of Contempory Art (North Miami), and private art shows in Miami Beach as well as Spectrum Art Fair during Art Basel week. Montes is currently represented by Quogue Gallery in Quogue, NY, as well as Micheal Findlay Gallery and will participate in a group show curated by Peter Marcelle in June 2017. Mary Montes' abstract expressionistic figures of notables from the art world: Willem deKooning, Andy Warhol, Jackson Pollack, Leo Castelli & Bob Rauschenberg are fittingly appropriate for the historic venue of the Sag Harbor Whaling Museum. In addition to the focus on de Kooning, she intends to include works of the woman with this circle of artists, some of which were artists themselves, i.e., Lee Krasner, Elaine de Kooning, Ruth Klinsmann. Other subjects of the show include dealers such as Leo Castelli and friends of the New York school painters who spent time living and working in Long Island's East End. This exhibit is made possible with funds from the Decentralization Program, a regrant program of the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor M. Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature and is administered by The Huntington Arts Council Inc.
