Don’t miss your last chance to see “New York Academy of Art Chubb Fellows and Friends” at GFAF this weekend! The show will then be traveling to the NYAA in January 2026.

Benjamin Staker describes his works as dealing with the “tension between light and darkness” as a means for “represent[ing] life’s fleeting emotional and mental terrain.” Here, the brushstrokes drag across the canvas mimicking the long shadows that fall from the trees in the background and embodying this sense of tension that Staker expresses. Cutting across the strong diagonal lines is the shadow of a lone figure which stretches out from the bright yellow foreground with its head disappearing into the darkness. The subject matter of this work is repeated in the encaustic and monotype that hang alongside it. The three works are separate but are all connected as one expression.

Kylee Snow’s ghostly graphite drawings often depict small tchotchkes like the porcelain horse we see here. Sitting at the end of a path of bent trees, the horse is rendered with a reflective quality that gives it the shine of real glass. Graphite’s capacity to shimmer and interact with light is one of the things that draws Snow to this medium. In addition to its visual qualities, Snow has noted that graphite “mirrors a narrative ambiguity” that she wants to bring to her works.

You can see this work and many others when you visit our current exhibition “New York Academy of Art Chubb Fellows and Friends.” The exhibition runs until December 14th, 2025.

One of the most well-known contemporary artists today, Amy Sherald’s portraits capture the essence of the everyday lives of Black Americans. Bringing the Black American experience to the forefront, Sherald’s works highlight the sitters’ individuality and challenge the viewer to reconsider their understanding of American identity and history. Here, the two figures donned in white suits hold cotton candy in their hands as they stare out at the viewer. The title refers to the higher status afforded to lighter skinned Black Americans over darker skinned Black Americans because of their perceived closer proximity to whiteness. The cotton candy and white cotton suits also nod to the history of Black Americans being enslaved on cotton plantations—those slaves that were forced to work in the field picking cotton were sometimes seen as less than the slaves forced to work in the home.

Tschabalala Self’s varied practice of combining painting, printmaking, sewing, and collage allows her to create multi-layered and textured artworks that lend themselves to her interest in depicting the figure. In particular, Self frequently depicts the Black female body in the n**e in a way that is not bound to the expectations of Western femininity, but that portrays these figures as complex individuals wrapped in emotions both negative and positive. In “Red Room,” Self fashions a luxurious scene where a partially n**e figure reclines atop a small wood table, her head cocked to the side and one hand reaching up to caress her curly hair. Self says of this work “I find her to be a mischievous character…so there’s this idea that she’s slippery—silky and inviting.”

“New York Academy of Art Chubb Fellows and Friends” will be traveling to the New York Academy of Art in early 2026!

One of the foremost voices of her generation, Dana Schutz’s paintings defy the bounds of reality and explore the emotions and tensions that define the modern world. “God 6” is one of a series of paintings Schutz made that were intended to represent God. Aptly, the works in this series are all a mixture of the figurative and the abstract—deconstructed bodies amidst a cacophony of bright colors and stark lines. The imagery throughout the “God Series” is heavily inspired by pop culture of the 1980s which Schutz remembers from her childhood.

You can see this work and many others when you visit our current exhibition “New York Academy of Art Chubb Fellows and Friends.” The exhibition runs until December 14th, 2025.

Only one week left to see “New York Academy of Art Chubb Fellows and Friends” at GFAF!

Primarily a landscape painter, 2016 Fellow Sarah Schlesinger pulls inspiration from the scenery of the New England area where she grew up. The environments she captures are rendered on a small scale and often using particularly dark colors compelling the viewer to get closer to the artwork in order to make out the details. The act of looking is central to Schlesinger’s practice and the scenes that she creates. The dynamic of looking/being seen has long been a theme for artists and art historians to parse with. Schlesinger draws on this tension but instead of directing it at the figure, she turns it towards the natural world. This, in turn, imbues her works with an air of mystery that is furthered by the lack of landmarks or figures which might ground the scene.

Renowned British painter Jenny Saville creates visceral studies of the human form. Her fleshy and often n**e bodies command the viewer’s attention, asking us to consider our own bodies and our perceptions of the bodies of others. A long-time collaborator with the NYAA, Saville was a Senior Critic for many years and delivered the commencement address in 2011. During her master classes, she would hang huge swaths of colorful material from the ceilings so that she could teach the students how to look at color and see it for what it truly is. Here, in “Couples Study (Red Chalk),” we see two figures laying in an embrace with the phantom outline of a figure traced over them. One of many works Saville has made that explores this dynamic of the couple (or couples) in bed, this piece strips down the scene to its bare bones allowing us to see into the artist’s practice.

You can see this work and many others when you visit our current exhibition “New York Academy of Art Chubb Fellows and Friends.” The exhibition runs until December 14th, 2025.

The title of “Hold the earth above me” references the song Green Grass by singer Tom Waits which is written from the perspective of one who is now dead calling upon the living to remember their love. The song embodies the sense of longing for something or someone that is beyond our reach—a tension between two worlds. This tension is present throughout Kylie Manning’s paintings which exist in between the figurative and the abstract and embrace the ambiguous and the unknown. Growing up, Manning’s childhood was spent between two worlds, or at least, two places, moving back and forth between Alaska and Mexico. Manning’s practice is deeply influenced by the wild and sprawling landscapes of her childhood which are echoed in the swirling, frenetic energy of her brushstrokes. Though Manning’s paintings feel spontaneous and effortless, she attributes her ability to create in such an improvisational way with having learned the “rules” or art and painting during her time at the Academy.

When approaching a new painting, 2023 Chubb Fellow Audrey Rodriguez references hundreds of her personal photographs as well as her methodically constructed sculptures. Rodriquez began making these sculpted sets during her time at the NYAA as studies for her paintings, but they have since become artworks in and of themselves. Rodriguez’s meticulous planning is evident in her finished paintings where street vendors are lit with a radiant glow as if they are figures in a work by Caravaggio and churros, conchas, and mangoes are elegantly positioned and crafted into grand still lifes. Rodriguez’s works elevate scenes of everyday objects and people by rendering them with a sense of care and dignity.
