Rose Squared Art Shows formed a new partnership

Announcing our Partnership & Fall 2021 Rose Squared Art Shows now open on ZAPP We were pleased to announce our partnership with Robin Markowitz of Art-Linx and Rose Squared Productions, Inc. over a month ago. The shows are now called Rose Squared Art Shows and are open for applications on Zapp.  We are a partnership for 2021. In 2022, Robin will be producing the shows. Under Robin’s leadership, the shows will continue with the same ethical approach, quality, and support of exhibitors’ needs. We will always be “on call” if a need arises. With our age and some health issues impacted by stress, this is the best way for us to proceed and insure that the business we created 39 years ago continues in the manner in which we have always strived. Both the exhibitors and public have enjoyed our shows in the beautiful county parks and we wanted a way for them to continue into the future. This partnership and then hand-off will insure that.  We are always available to be contacted with questions and hope you and your family have a safe and healthy Thanksgiving and Holiday Season.

Catch Papay Solomon, at the Steven Zevitas Gallery See the write up in the Boston Globe!

PAPAY SOLOMON in The Boston Globe Nightmares Americana EXTENDED DATES: October 2 - December 12, 2020 Thank you to Cate McQuaid and The Boston Globe for a beautiful review of Papay Solomon's current exhibition, Nightmares Americana.  Click here to view exhibition PDF PAPAY SOLOMON, As a Heart Attack, Portrait of Natalie Ruth - Ghana, first generation, 2020 oil and pastel on linen, 45 x 80 inches "Portraiture is a study in identity. Subjects compose themselves to encounter the painter, the viewer, and the world. What do you share of yourself, what do you withhold? What will be seen? What will be safe? For such a young artist, Solomon is a terrific painter, with an unerring sense of light, color, and texture. His subjects pop against flat monochromes. The luminous pink ground in "As a Heart Attack, Portrait of Natalie Ruth - Ghana, First Generation" looks siphoned from twilight. This woman is already radiant; the pink surrounding her hints at some otherworldly power..." -- Cate McQuaid, The Boston Globe READ THE FULL ARTICLE Please respond to this email to book an appointment to view the exhibition. Masks required, social distancing guidelines will be enforced.  For additional information or visual material, please contact the gallery at 617-778-5265 or by email at info@stevenzevitasgallery.com. #stevenzevitas#fineartmagazine#papaysolomon Steven Zevitas Gallery 450 Harrison Avenue #47 Boston, MA 02118 617-778-5265 x22 Website / Email / Facebook / Twitter

Catch Lacy McKinney at the Everson Museum November 14, 2020 - January, 24, 2021

IN NEWLY LAUNCHED EXHIBITION ARTIST LACEY MCKINNEY FLIPS TRADITIONAL PORTRAITURE GENRE ON ITS HEAD SYRACUSE, NY (November 19, 2020): The Everson Museum of Art’s latest exhibition titled, Reconfiguration, opened this past Saturday, November 14 and will be on view through January 24, 2022. Reconfiguration showcases 24 works by emerging artist Lacey McKinney whose work combines traditional painting and collage. Born in Oswego, NY, McKinney graduated from SUNY Oswego with a BFA and MA. She earned her MFA in Painting and Drawing from SUNY New Paltz. She is currently a full-time faculty at Finger Lakes Community College in Canandaigua, NY and lives and works in Liverpool, NY. McKinney has said that her studio practice is, “centered on exploring embodiment, feminist theory, and how women are represented in images.” In her portraits of women and depictions of the female body, McKinney explores the power of images to construct—and subvert—identity. Using sourced images from mass media and history books, as well as her own photographs, McKinney disassembles the originals into their parts and then reassembles brand new images. The process of creating a new composite image allows McKinney to explore new conceptual and compositional possibilities that inform the final work. Like the collages, McKinney’s portrait paintings are influenced by the work of women artists. Color Field pioneer Helen Frankenthaler’s famed staining technique and feminist figurative painter Joan Semmel’s subversion of the male gaze inform many of McKinney’s works. At the same time, McKinney challenges the history of the portraiture genre, questioning how much information can be gleaned from a single portrait. By merging multiple faces into one composition, McKinney makes visible the shifting nature of identity In a 2019 interview with Elizabeth Delaney for McColl Center for Art + Innovation McKinney explained, “As a contemporary artist, I take previously dismissed narratives and re-position them as foregrounded visual amalgamations. I am interested in expressing complexity, movement, and heterogeneous visual representations, thereby expanding convention to the benefit of all, especially those who could start to see themselves reflected more often.” For more information visit www.everson.org
