"Face and Place" Exhibition
Grady Alexis Gallery
This event has ended.
The Grady Alexis gallery presents Face and Place, an exhibition featuring the oil paintings of Upper West Side-based neighbors, Elaine Mokhtefi and Bell Chevigny. On Riverside Drive, only one floor and a courtyard separate them. They both favor portraits and figures (of New Yorkers of all stripes) and landscapes of far-away places.
This exhibition will feature examples of both figurative and landscape painting. Classically trained, each woman has a studied quality to her work. The paintings are mostly concerned with the figure, as nuances of color, that not only create form, but give the illusion of light across the canvas. Viewers will also find that these mature painters present an evocative depiction of their subject’s psychology that elevate the paintings from general studies to an artistic representation worth noting.
