“Counterpoint A Visual Argument” Exhibition

New Century Artists, Inc.

This event has ended.

Paul Calendrillo New York presents new works by four important emerging artists called Counter Point. The exhibition explores the psychology of making connections, separating ideas and outright arguing about work by the viewer who will be invited to contrast work and write reactions on the floor of the gallery to be viewed for the length of the show. The developing verbiage will become a work in itself and will be posted daily on social media and our website for viewing by the general public.

Regina Davis was raised in Mexico City caught between the confinements of mystical, ancient Ritual beliefs and strict Catholicism, a life that has made her keenly aware of the dualities of life and death, dark vs. light, and the physical vs. the psychic. The passionate meaning underlying her work is advanced in a visual narrative of cultural symbols and iconography bringing to mind the magic of Remedios Varos and the emotional symbolic realism of Frida Kahlo. Each enrich, worship and enhance an optimistic philosophy that embraces the notion that we can take comfort in what is beyond physical reality.

Cuban born Alejandro Tejeda Mora’s intension is to represent the Cuban identity in each character he paints from the sensibilities of an artist who understands how cultural nuances are seen in every bodily movement. But it is how he makes visible the expressions, actions, satires and irony of life in Cuba which places him among the most interesting of modern painters. His use of light is similar to the Baroque painters like Vermeer and Rembrandt as is his eye for catching the most dramatic point in a scene.

Jesse Best uses acrylic, spray paint, oil and resin on wood panel, and finds no medium beyond his reach including interior decorating, Jesse is a filmmaker and also creates large scale mixed media.

Jesse lives both in New York and Pittsburgh where he is an award winning painter. He shares his life with photographer, Abby Warhola, niece of Andy Warhol, and when not in New York, lives in the Warhol house in Pittsburgh. He holds degree in fine art and cinema from Edinboro University in Pennsylvania

André Eamiello employs a unique painting process that combines watercolor and earth ephemera, natural objects that normally have a limited lifespan, to create a nature aesthetic that is both landscape and figurative, abstract and representational. From the fusion of dream state imagination and action painting, structures emerge that evoke the botanical, the aquatic, and the celestial. Andre’s most recent influences have been derived from particle physics, observations from the Hubble telescope and from the book, Journey of the Universe.
