K E N I S E  B A R N E S  F I N E  A R T 1947 PALMER AVENUE, LARCHMONT, NEW YORK Two solo exhibitions September 16 - October 28th, 2017       Opening reception Saturday, September 16th, 6:30 - 8:00 public invited C A R L O S  G A M E Z  d e  F R A N C I S C O      Carlos Gamez de Francisco was born in post-revolutionary Cuba in 1987 in a climate of art censorship and limited access to information. He was educated in an academic style heavily influenced by the Russian Academy. This influence and the history of Cuba itself, its storytelling and history, are the lens through which the artist creates quasi-historic portraits, narratives and an illusory world. His works explores themes of power, hierarchy, perfection and beauty, repetition, decoration and obscene abundance. Gamez de Francisco´s work is in numerous private collections in the United States, Spain, Luxembourg, Ecuador, Italy, Argentina, Costa Rica, and Mexico. The artist now lives and works in Chicago. J U N E  G L A S S O N The “American West” is the primary focus and artistic catalyst for June Glasson. In her multidisciplinary practice of drawing, painting, and installation art, Glasson explores and questions iconic “western” imagery. Depicting women juxtaposed with buffalo, beaver pelts or pistols, for example, sets up a visual investigation into dominant narratives about the region and narratives that often ignore its complicated and violent history. Glasson’s figurative work depicts semi-realistic representations of the women in her life, a personalized way of expressing concern for the treatment of the female figure in art and popular culture while challenging historic and contemporary notions of gender roles. From the artist’s statement: “Simultaneously, the work reflects my personal relationship with the landscape, the people, and culture of Wyoming - a place that is both exotic and home to me.” The artist lives and works in Wyoming. Her paintings have been exhibited in London, Berlin and in museums and galleries throughout the United States.  visit our website Hours: Tuesday - Saturday 10:00 - 5:30 and by appointment in the evening 914 834 8077 Kenise@kbfa.com   Lani@kbfa.com  Avery@kbfa.com 1st Dibs
