"Persistence of Painting" Exhibition
Sloan Fine Art
This event has ended.
Curated by Douglas Lederman and Peter Franck, the exhibition represents four artists whose works exemplify the centrality of eye/hand coordination in painting and whose individual techniques of representation reinforce the vibrancy of the medium and its relevancy to contemporary art. With this exhibition, Lederman and Franck highlight the skill, dedication and hands-on approach of four young artists (all of whom are products of the Hunter MFA program), along with their individuality, innate creativity and ability to communicate with a contemporary audience. With a provocative mix of abstract and representational elements and references ranging from Impressionism and Expressionism to Surrealism, Cubism, Color Field and Pop Art, the selected works are all rooted in art history, yet vibrantly connected to the moment through references to film, digital photographic manipulation and global communication.
