THE ROAMING GALLERIST: MUSEUM EXHIBITIONS

Denise Bibro, the gallery’s director, shares museum exhibitions that you do not want to miss this fall season and more!

***

The museum has dedicated four floors of space to encompass and illustrate the girth and breath of her work including painting, sculpture, installation, drawing, textiles, photography, stained glass, needle work, and printmaking.

THE ROAMING GALLERIST

Denise Bibro, the gallery’s director, shares some great locales she has visited during her time in Miami.

***

To take refuge from the labors of trying to put our house in Florida back together after the hurricane and to give ourselves a little treat for our anniversary, my husband and I ventured to Naples Botanical Garden. For years I have been curious about it, but since Sanibel was its own paradise and our visits were few and far between, we never had time. I should also admit that having been to the wonderful gardens that Brooklyn and the Bronx have to offer, I was misguided to have the jaded perception that Naples would not measure up. I should be embarrassed to admit that I was surely wrong.

THE ROAMING VIRTUAL GALLERIST

Amidst the cooler days of the fall season, Denise Bibro, the gallery’s director, reminisces about her summer filled with wonderful events and experiences.

***

I am having a hard time letting go of summer. The new crisp air of the fall grasps remnants of the summer. Gradual warming colors of vegetation in the City’s parks and the rural areas of New York State and the Tri-state area, make me dwell on the spontaneous, unexpected beauty, wonders, and summer happenings that I have witnessed and experienced nearby my West Greenwich Village apartment and upstate.

HIDDEN CREATIVITY IN THE BOWELS OF BROOKLYN

Denise Bibro, the gallery’s director, recently made a trip to Brooklyn to see the studios of two talented local artists. Read her text about the wonders and creativity that can be found on the streets of this borough.

***

Fortunately, despite all the effects of COVID, the divisiveness of the country, the perils of war, and the compromised economy, art prevails. New York is an example of that. There are healthy morsels of talent thriving in all the boroughs of the city, which our Art In The Boros exhibitions have illustrated. Brooklyn continues to be, despite the increased costs of rent, a hotbed of hidden opportunities to see wonderful creatives finding their way to continue their artistic practice.

WARREN LIN: WORK PUBLISHED IN BLOOD AND BOURBON #10

Warren Linn‘s digital image collage QueequegToo was recently published accompanying Paul Jaskuna’s poem “Queequeg” in Blood and Bourbon’s catastrophe-themed tenth edition.

 

“Queequeg”
By Paul Jaskunas
You know well how to stare
down by the abyss, with drill-bit eyes
punched open by fate.
I see your soul harpooned straight through,
colorful with scars and elegant gashes—
your chest tattooed with signs of gods
of monsoon and typhoon,
deluge and death.
One Day, Queequeg, you will sink.
Your bones will drift in the same
silence that fills your eyes
the way water will fill them,
the way water will hold you.
Water: your love of loves,
your floating power,
your lasting grace.

ILLIYAN IVANOV: SOLO EXHIBITS IN BULGARIA

Iliyan Ivanov, a professor, child psychiatrist, and wonderful artist opened two solo shows in his hometown Burgas, Bulgaria.

The first solo show The Diary (June 23 – July 5) was at the National Academy of Fine Arts Gallery in Burgas where Ivanov presented 6 large-scale paintings on canvas. One of the paintings from this exhibit The Trying Year: Upstate Farms was acquired by the Municipality City Hall of Burgas and will be permanently exhibited on one of their premises in addition to remaining in the permanent collection of the City Gallery.

RONALD KATZ: LOST AND FOUND

Ronald Katz‘s latest series of paintings Lost and Found is a visual amalgam of aspects of lost, stolen, destroyed, or rediscovered art, extinct, threatened, and endangered species, and related matters of the environment. Unexpected and at times dramatic juxtapositions are realized using varied means of representation, drawing, composition, and color, and ultimately resolved in a unified visual expression.

NORA CHAVOOSHIAN IN DANSPACE PROJECT

Nora Chavooshian‘s work is featured in a premiering show titled In place of catastrophe, a clear night sky at Danspace.

The Mycelium set pieces were created by Chavooshian. Mycelium is the vegetative network of threads from which mushrooms grow. Mycelium mixed with organic material (in this case hemp) can be the ‘glue’ that binds the material to make a strong solid object.

The show is an immersive, multi-sensory landscape that invites blind, visually impaired, and low-vision audience members into the poetics of movement, de-centering sight as a primary mode of experiencing dance, prompting nuanced forms of perception.

IN MEMORIAM: FRED GUTZEIT (1940–2022)

A Memorial for Fred Gutzeit was held at the Mulberry Street Library, near his Bowery studio, organized by his partner – artist Elizabeth Riley. A circle of Fred’s dearest friends came together to bid farewell to this wonderful artist and honor his life and work. In a special tradition, a few gathered at Fred’s favorite neighborhood restaurant, Cafetal Social Club.

“Fred always had a spark in his eyes. After having experienced his enthusiasm, particularly for those he had mentored, it would come as no surprise that his innate love for discovery and creation will inspire more artists. He will be deeply missed by all.”

– Denise A. Bibro

OLA RONDIAK: BENEFIT FOR UKRAINE

Along with the rest of the democratic world, Denise Bibro Fine Art is horrified and emotionally impacted by the invasion of Ukraine. This crisis is especially important to us as Ola Rondiak—one of the participating artists in DBFA’s annual Art from the Boros exhibition—is Ukrainian. At this particular time, Ola and her family are safe in the US, but fear for their family and friends abroad.

Much of Ola’s work has focused on the role of women in the ongoing conflict. Art provides her solace to cope with pain and anxiety and this new series of collages incorporate cut copies of newspaper headlines and other war ephemera. The use of the female figure is a poignant reminder of the strength and fortitude of women throughout this war and similar crises.

DBFA and the artist are offering this work for sale. All proceeds of the sale will go to the charity of the collector’s choosing, including Sunflower of Peace, Global Empowerment Mission, The Return Alive Foundation, and others.

For information and acquisition details email: [email protected]

DAN FINALDI REVIEW

“Finaldi brings subdued color into his Fall Full Moon as a yellow-warmed moon hovers in gray-toned blue sky over a dark silhouetted tree line….And then when you move to the large central gallery it’s like the sun came up! You move from a wide variety of tonal grays to Finaldi’s painting of Lois Dodd’s Garden that brings forth every shade of green imaginable.”

PAULA ELLIOT’S WORKS WERE ACQUIRED BY SAKS FIFTH AVENUE

Recent works by Paula Elliot were acquired by Saks Fifth Avenue. Visitors can view work from Paula’s The Thing Is and Objet D’Art series at Saks’ American Dream location in East Rutherford, NJ.

According to the artist: “Each of my objects suggests a moment of equilibrium, a stop in the transformative life of a form; losing in some measure the strict edge of their contours in a dispersal of ephemeral effects, imparting to each shape an individual character.”

Rosenberg is also continuing his work on a recent series of paintings:

“This series is a continuation of my experiments in redefining an image into its component pixel-parts, and experimenting with various color palettes to see which combinations result in an interesting finished painting. In this series, I create a narrative or subject composition. I then subject the initial imagery to a breakdown of shapes into organic pixels, until I find the edge of abstract and representation that I seek. The composition is then colorized, having little if anything to do with the original; instead to find a palette and color balance that further promotes the narrative or imagery.”

“The overwhelming feeling of fear takes over the mind and body. In the last years, we have been experiencing acute emergencies in our society over health along with political polarization…not being able to communicate on differences of opinion, physical and mental isolation caused by Covid. We have witnessed and have been victims. Information has been confusing. This causes insecurity and fear.”

These species are as important to nature’s fine balance as humankind, if not more so.”

“I’m currently testing out methods of casting sculptures in mycelium, which is the vegetative part of a fungus, consisting of a network of fine white filaments, that act as a kind of “glue” that binds various substrates like wood chips or sawdust… The networking nature of mycelium which is in a symbiotic relationship with plant roots is an intriguing metaphor for the necessity of human cooperation and interdependence.”

“I bludgeon planks of wood with a sledgehammer. The sound of the split cracked wood releases my complex emotions of anger and frustration. The split wood edges add dynamic contrast to the smooth sides of the metal… The pieces of copper and aluminum I crumple, wedge, and screw into areas of tension. The culminating composition fuses these materials into an expression of power and beauty, with a raw quality…These pieces reflect my convoluted emotions during this highly difficult time.”

For the past seven years we have selected diverse and hardworking artists to participate in this annual group show highlighting talent found within New York City’s five boroughs. The mission of the exhibition is to seek and find the pulse of talent in the city that is often overlooked and underexposed.

This time around due to COVID we will conduct our search and presentation differently.

We are asking artists in the five boroughs to submit all works virtually. From these submissions we will choose TEN artists for a virtual exhibition in February. From those ten artists we will then choose TWO artists to have a joint show sometime in the Summer.

This year has been challenging for everyone, especially the fine arts industry and everyone in it, and that is why we would like to give this opportunity to the artists of New York City to show with Denise Bibro Fine Art.

CAROL JACOBSEN: SYSTEM OF INJUSTICE | BRONXARTSPACE

Carol Jacobsen will be featured in the group show System of Injustice along side Bronx-based artists at the BronxArtSpace, The Bronx, NY.

The show will be on view August 7 through September, 2019. The opening reception will take place August 10, 6:30-9pm.

Inspired by Patricia Hill Collins’ examination of the matrix of domination, Systems of Injustice seeks to examine the structural (organization of power and oppression), disciplinary (the management and sustaining of oppression), hegemonic (legitimization of oppression), and interpersonal (the interactions and consciousness of oppressed people) domains of dominations intersect to create systemic oppression for people of color. By exploring the different ways these domains support and sustain each other, featured artists are confronting a system that has never been based on the equality of its participants. We are seeking works that examine race, gender, sexuality, educational equality, socioeconomic status, religion, citizenship status,  and the many other ways in which people of color are bereft in a world dominated by Western Thought.

Dusty Boynton is well known for her paintings on canvas and works on paper. This exhibition is a culmination of a series of her “Reliefs” – painted and cut figures on wood.

ART.NOW.2019 METAMORPHOSIS: CHANGING CLIMATE| HEARST GALLERIES

Art.Now.2019
Metamorphosis: Changing Climate

EXHIBITION OPEN TO THE PUBLIC:
TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 2019 – THROUGH FALL 2019

Hearst Galleries
Hearst Tower

300 West 57th Street, 26 Floor
New York, New York 10019-3741

Featuring Artists:
Kenneth Burris, Janet Culbertson, Aleksandar Popovic

Oscar Wilde pointed out that Historians record the Past, Journalists chronicle the Present, but it is our Artists who divine the Future. They are the canaries in our collective coal mine. Artists dream dreams no one else has dreamt, conjure visions no one else has seen. They look beyond the horizon and see guideposts yet unseen.
Annually we survey in our Hearst Galleries a sampling of what artists are creating now, the conversations they have initiated and extended. This year, Climate Change preoccupies many minds and we have subtitled our 2019 edition of Art Now as metamorphosis: changing climate.
We hope you enjoy the experience. The images are extraordinary.
— Gilbert C. Maurer, Director & Former COO, Hearst

ANDY SWEET: THE LAST RESORT

Directed by Dennis Scholl & Kareem Tabsch, 70 minutes

The Last Resort  will have it’s theatrical premier at the Quad Cinema and the JCC Theater on the upper west side on 76 Street, the week beginning December 21, 2018.

Cameos of Denise A. Bibro, Director of Denise Bibro Fine Art!

You can view the trailer HERE

“Before the arrival of Miami Vice and MTV Spring Break, South Beach was home to the largest cluster of Jewish retirees in the country. Drawn by the small apartments, low cost of living, sunny weather, and thriving cultural life, they came by the thousands seeking refuge from the Northeast’s brutal winters. By the 1970s, these former New Yorkers had turned from seasonal visitors to year-round residents, making Miami Beach home to a population that was primarily over 70 and overwhelmingly Jewish. The Last Resort takes audiences on a journey to the iconic Miami Beach of that era through the lens of young photographers Andy Sweet and Gary Monroe. With cameras in hand, they embarked on an ambitious 10-year project to document this unique chapter in the city’s history, which would soon be erased by the turbulent 1980s. Featuring interviews with Pulitzer Prize winner Edna Buchanan, filmmaker Kelly Reichardt, photographer Gary Monroe, and more, The Last Resort is a stunning testament to a community all but forgotten… until now.”
