NYAB Event - John Himmelfarb "Thirty Years, Shifting Gears"

John Himmelfarb "Thirty Years, Shifting Gears"

Luise Ross Gallery

This event has ended.

In John Himmelfarb’s current exhibition, which spans 30 years, we see his energetic inventiveness encompassing drawing, painting, sculpture, and printmaking. Beneath the immediate image of a truck, a face, or cityscape, there are deep psychological connections between artist and subject matter. A bold, 7 foot, ink self-portrait almost accosts us as it stares back. Another emotive entanglement features a man on a raft, surrounded by the clutter of his life. The boat is clearly sinking. Himmelfarb’s fascination with trucks is more benevolent in Blue Motive, a recent three dimensional print; while Juggernaut, an aggressive truck painting, is obviously tangled in its emotions.
