paintings by Gabe Brown, installation view
Gabe Brown Exploring a world beyond tangible reality, Gabe Brown searches for meaning in the unknown. The artist writes: “Art is like magic, an illusion created by the force of humanity. Our choices in life can be amazing portals for adventure.� Brown’s paintings create a secret recipe for an inner landscape of the human condition, narrative vignettes that are both alluring and mysterious. Nature and those elements existing in its microcosm become metaphors for a strange and at times super reality, a parallel universe that questions the natural scheme of life itself. Using a visual vocabulary derived from a world that often goes unnoticed, Brown begins to reinvent reality.

Kim Keever Kim Keever’s large-scale photographs of bring to mind Hudson River School landscape paintings and Albert Bierstadt’s tumultuous skies: sublime, vast, and timeless. Keever’s landscapes are of his own making, detailed miniature scenes that he builds himself in a 200-gallon tank, submerges in water, and photographs. Trained as a thermal engineer, Kim Keever fuses the images of his childhood fantasy with his knowledge of science and physics.

David Konigsberg lives and works in Hudson, New York.

detail: Pop Flower 47, 2017 Mary Judge Mary Judge’s work is about transformation through repetition, the concept of endless possibilities and underlying order and chance are inherent in her processes. The Pop Flower series are powdered pigment drawings made by laying a series of handmade perforated stencils on rag paper then pouncing the stencils with sacks of pure powdered pigments. The ground pigments pass through the perforations, creating patterns, building the multilayered compositions and velvety surfaces of this ongoing series. Judge has developed this technique based on the Italian process spolvero (“dust”) as used by renaissance artists to transfer drawings to wet plaster for fresco painting. Judge’s work is in collections and museums worldwide. The artist lives and work in St. Louis, MO and New York, NY.
