“2016 Chubb Fellows Exhibition”
New York Academy of Art
This event has ended.
The New York Academy of Art presents the 2016 Chubb Fellows Exhibition, presenting works by this year’s Chubb Postgraduate Fellows. Featuring work by painters Kathryn Goshorn and Esteban Ocampo and sculptor Sarah Schlesinger, the exhibition marks the beginning of each artist’s promising career and the culmination of their year-long fellowships.
Each year, the Academy selects three outstanding graduates from its MFA program as Chubb Fellows. The fellowship, sponsored by Chubb Personal Risk Services, is the highest honor the Academy bestows. Kathryn Goshorn (b. 1991, Connecticut) and Esteban Ocampo (b. 1987, Bogota, Colombia) both received a Masters of Fine Arts in Painting from the Academy, and Sarah Schlesinger (b. 1988, Pennsylvania) received her degree in Sculpture. Although the basis of their education is the same, each artist has developed a signature aesthetic, demonstrating the range of styles supported at the Academy. Goshorn’s partially three-dimensional paintings are strongly influenced by Flemish tradition and demonstrate a highly skilled combination of bas-relief and illusionistic techniques, while Ocampo’s vibrant canvases use familiar scenes and imagined memories to interpret and interrogate his exposure to American culture as a non-American. Schlesinger’s sculptures play with tropes of landscaped gardens and shrubbery to explore the division and containment of space and human relations and interactions.
