LEILA HELLER GALLERY, Exhibition Nathaniel Galka, "welcome to the fabled forest".

Nathaniel Galka "welcome to the fabled forest...", 2023 Oil on marble plaster on jute panel with gold leaf 43h x 65w in (109.22h x 165.10w cm) REQUEST INFORMATION Detail shots "welcome to the fabled forest..." Artist Statement   Through a universal visual language, my paintings are fables created to communicate moral lessons about how we treat the world in which we exist. Fables are timeless devices to deliver, in a simple manner, what can be understood and enjoyed by viewers of all ages. The fable is one of the oldest and most lasting method of storytelling that is easily communicated through fictional examples with the main characters being plants, animals, birds, and insects. These non-human characters exist as human-like entities but still retain their own characteristics  giving purpose to why they are chosen for my narratives. For example, the bee symbolizes new beginnings, hard work, and wisdom. Hares are associated with the circle of life, and by extension, with spring, renewal, and immortality. Fawns represent the innocence and purity of youth.   As an artist, I present my narrative in a number of ways using a series of images that represent moments in a story or by selecting a central moment to stand for the story in its entirety. Unlike the traditional fable, I invent my own storylines leaving the viewer to imagine the narrative. As evident in every one of my paintings, the title is the introduction to the fable that I have presented for the viewer to create their own story.   Nathaniel Aric Galka LEILA HELLER GALLERY NEW YORK 17 East 76th St. New York, NY 10021 info@leilahellergallery.com +1 212 249 7695   Open to Public Monday to Friday 10 to 6 pm        #lielahellergallery#fineartmagazine#fineartfabelfun

Louis Stern Fune Art, Exhibits the work of Jerome Kirk, July 15-August 19, 2023

Transfusion, 1982     aluminum, steel and acrylic 36 3/4 x 21 x 8 inches;  93.3 x 53.3 x 20.3 centimeters "When I'm working on a sculpture my concentration is total. I plumb deeply into myself to find classic solutions that appear beyond improvement only to discover later that there are still better ways of doing things. The process of growing with my work, both spiritually and technically, seems endless...you just keep on trying." - Jerome Kirk Jerome Kirk with his work, Malibu, 1970 Born in Detroit, sculptor Jerome Kirk (1923-2019) served in WWII and received his BS degree in Mechanical Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1951. Drawing from the principles of engineering, Kirk’s dynamic early sculptures draw clear connections to the Kinetic Art movement.     As he developed his own distinct style, he created kinetic sculptures that moved in graceful, gentle rhythms as if orchestrated by an unheard musical arrangement. With the help of gravity and a starting force, whether it be a slight breeze or the light touch of a human hand, the mass and weight of these parts balance playfully and leave the viewer truly mesmerized. Works by Kirk are included in numerous museum collections, including the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; Phoenix Museum of Art; University of California, Santa Barbara Art Galleries; and University of California, Berkeley Galleries.

Tripoli Gallery August 18- September, 18, 2023, exhibition : A Magical Day at Ditch!

 

A MAGICAL DAY AT DITCH! AUGUST 18 - SEPTEMBER 18, 2023 OPENING RECEPTION: FRIDAY, AUGUST 18, 6-8 PM TRIPOLI GALLERY 26 Ardsley Road, Wainscott, NY 11975

Tripoli Gallery is pleased to announce its end-of-summer show, A Magical Day at Ditch!  The collective exhibit highlights work inspired by the iconic surfers’ beach at Ditch Plains in nearby Montauk. It is a continuation of the gallery’s 2017 summertime show entitled Summer Trip. Both shows were curated by St. Louis-based painter, Katherine Bernhardt, and both focus on summer love and the multi-faceted realities of summer living.  A Magical Day at Ditch! allows us to question the essence of this excellent, if short, season. It addresses elements that epitomize the summer by exploring what makes it so much fun. The selected artwork reveals what more than a dozen artists have dreamt up when creating summer-themed art. From the solstice onwards, so much of this season has to do with water: swimming, surfing, sailing and the beach. For many, summer might mean afternoons at friends’ pools, catching up as you sip lemonade, or having fun falling into the sand at the beach while chasing dogs and a frisbee. Summer can also include a BBQ on your parent’s patio or staying up late after getting too much sun. There is also surfing, one’s personal visceral contact with the universe’s lunar-controlled pull of water in the form of salty foamy crashing waves. Read More>>> VIEW PREVIEW TRIPOLI GALLERY, NY Established in 2009, Tripoli Gallery was located in Southampton on Long Island’s East End before moving in 2019 to an expansive permanent, 2,400-square-foot space in Wainscott. Founded by Tripoli Patterson, the gallerist was still in his twenties and one of the youngest curators to have exhibited both emerging and blue chip artists with extensive contemporary programming on the East End. He has organized, produced, and curated shows in various locations on Long Island, New York City, and most recently Byron Bay, Australia. The gallery wants to honor the land and sea through exhibitions that explore personal and art histories, while also creating a buzz around artists who may be exhibiting for the first time. Spanning generations, Patterson's vision and taste are completely his own and have been inspired by his upbringing: living, traveling and surfing around the globe.
