Miles McEnery Gallery

Miles McEnery Gallery is a contemporary art gallery in the Chelsea neighborhood of New York, NY with At other times it’s awkward. And unsettling. Often both.

Miles McEnery Gallery presents exhibitions by a multigenerational roster of artists whose works are linked by their drive to discover the points at which the paths of pleasure and knowledge intersect. Sometimes that happens organically: minds and bodies working in concert as insight and enjoyment dovetail gracefully. And consequential. Conflict enters the picture when what you feel and what you kn

“This new body of work consists of twelve paintings in highly saturated colors that meticulously show, from the viewpoint of the street, oblique angles of modernist buildings in midtown Manhattan. Titled after a specific address, each painting seems convincingly real, as a sense of perspective draws the eye into space, as though we are seeing a representation of the semi-abstract exterior structure… The paintings are heavily cropped—we never see a full view from bottom to top, but instead are presented with a sharp corner…, a section of skyscraper with edge-to-edge material…, or a series of repeated window panes that recess into the distance… Windows and reflective glass abound in these works. The street is being watched and viewed, and the buildings bear witness.” - Wells Fray-Smith

“Triangles and inverted triangles, circles of various diameters, vertical or horizontal stripes in negative space, aligned segments, remain his favored graphical tactics to organize the field. But new things are happening. The overlaps have grown more intense, their geometries more involved. The color decisions are intuitive and irregular. New forms are birthed in the vortex. Some are implicit, relying for their manifestation on the play of optics, the mind’s eye. Others are right there in the design. They break and tumble across the surface. Getting loose. Getting free,” Siddartha Mitter in her essay accompanying the exhibition’s catalogue.

An exhibition of new works by Tomory Dodge opens 8 December at 520 West 21st Street. That evening, join us for an opening reception to celebrate the artist from 6-8pm!
...
“Philosophical skepticism is an approach to questioning both our assumptions about reality and our ability to know and understand. In the hands and mind of the painter Tomory Dodge, it is a method of painting, of questioning each aesthetic choice by building up an image and painting it out—scraping down and rebuilding the work to leave a history in the rich surfaces.

The results of his approach leave a poetic record of the painting’s process of becoming. It is a form of subjective archaeology: The lexicon of colors, forms, patterns, and lines make up the artifacts of a rich dig into the loamy, synaptic soil of his imagination and memory. Dodge has said that by using this method, he earns the poetic resolution that his paintings convey. The results are, in a sense, the broken fragments of an ancient figure, discovered through the methodical process of sifting through the soil of his cultural and personal history, and pieced back together to contain some kind of homage to truth.” - Gary Brewer

Miles McEnery Gallery is pleased to announce representation of Jim Isermann. Isermann’s inaugural solo exhibition at the gallery will take place June 2023.
…
A longtime resident of Palm Springs, Jim Isermann is known for his artistic practice that spans an array of media over nearly four decades. Situated at the intersection of fine art, mid-century design, and decorative craft, Isermann’s work is acutely attentive to pattern, color theory, and geometry. Moreover, Isermann’s art has been crucial to the elevation of design and the Arts and Craft movement as disciplines holding the same powerful and critical capacity of painting and sculpture.

Rooted in queerness and camp aesthetics, Isermann’s work builds off his personal identity. With a desire to upend the restrictions of domestic space, he challenges the historically-gendered lens of both the Minimalist and Craft art movements. Intention is at the work’s core. Occasions of precision and asymmetry, feelings of joy and chaos: each mark, mold, and tuft is weighed and calculated, evolving into an oeuvre overflowing with spontaneity and life.

We are thrilled to share that Rico Gatson’s work Toni #2 (2021) has been acquired by the Nasher Museum of Art!
…
‘Toni #2 comes from an ongoing series of Icons, sparse geometric compositions incorporating appropriated photographs of cultural luminaries with colorful rays emanating from their bodies. These works draw on some of the formal qualities of the Bauhaus and Constructivism; they adopt the black, gold and green colors of pan-Africanism; and most importantly, they have been inspired by the 1960s political graphic design of Emery Douglass, the Black Panthers’ minister of culture.

In bringing together these elements, Gatson creates images that are part devotional object and part political poster, encouraging us to consider connections between the cultural figures themselves and the greater socio-political impact of their work. Depicted here is the American novelist and Nobel Laureate, Toni Morrison, whose best-known works include Song of Solomon and the highly-acclaimed Beloved.’

James Siena’s current solo exhibition is reviewed by John Yau in Hyperallergic! Read the full review at the link in our bio and visit Siena’s exhibition at 525 West 22nd Street.
…
"Intrigued by both the connection and breakdown between machine and human, Siena’s art diverges from the Warholian model of the artist as robotic machine and the long-cherished model of the artist as omnipotent creator, maker of frozen moments in time. We don’t see time stopped in Siena’s work, but rather the pathways he’s taken to mark what he can neither break free of nor transcend: time passing. His work is about addressing his passage in time, knowing that mortality and termination are getting ever closer. It is when Siena most deeply inhabits this state of consciousness that his work become something to reflect upon, and get lost in.”

Fiona Rae’s current exhibition is reviewed by Barbara A. MacAdam in The Brooklyn Rail!
…
"Playful and bookish, Rae punctuates her paintings with alphabetical triggers, using different fonts that she stretches out into bumpy, Disney-esque landscapes pocked with high and low associations. She plumbs time and space through a wilderness of symbols and references. Her palette over the years has segued from dense and dark to light and airy, with the newest work being pastel-hued, spacious and gestured, and set against a white ground. The paintings—oil and acrylic on linen and gauzy-toned works on paper—consist of stray forms, words, and cartoon characters in the act of becoming."

“Nielsen has studied the scientific processes behind color and light, learning how wavelengths and exposure times result in different hues and intensities. Look closely at the edges of some of her shapes or along whole borders, and you will see a layering of exposures, a sign that her work has its technical roots in photochemistry, however significantly it has evolved beyond the simple point-and-shoot. (There is no actual camera involved here.) The bleeding, wisping colors throughout each piece breathe movement and life into the work, providing a new level of depth. It is as if the whole thing is vibrating, pulsating off the page,” Grace Edquist.

"In a dramatic shift in the way he pieces together his paintings, McGinness is now using a single drawing as the skeleton or lattice for an entire canvas… The gateway was a series of 'Mother and Child' drawings McGinness began several years ago, including one based on a snapshot of his wife sitting in a mod Eero Aarnio-designed Ball Chair with their two daughters, Evelyn and Maxine. In McGinness’ simplified version, the central maternal form enfolds a child’s silhouette under each arm, all ensconced within the egg-like shape. It’s a new look at the age-old trope of Madonna and Child—an updated icon.”

“British artist Fiona Rae is perhaps best known for paintings that draw from an incredibly diverse range of inspiration, from Abstract Expressionism to Japanese anime and traditional typography. Rae’s inaugural solo show at Miles McEnery Gallery in New York (through November 26) features both recent paintings and works on paper. In her latest series, Rae investigates the many ways that abstraction operates both in visual art and in literature. Using lines drawn from classic and popular literature as titles of and as visual motifs, she challenges art hierarchies and at the same time explores new dimensions of the numerous influences that inform her work.”

In the November issue of Artforum, Barry Schwabsky reviews Norman Bluhm’s summer exhibition at 525 West 22nd Street.
...
"Bluhm’s steady, curving surfaces insistently evoke the flesh, the human figure, in which, he held, 'all the great form really exists.' That the flesh that obsessed him was female is attested to by some of the paintings’ titles, such as 'Sooty Lady’ and 'Mermaid’s Delight,' both 1978. The paradox is that while the resulting imagery is 'absolutely corporeal,' as Jane Livingston wrote in a 1977 catalogue essay for the artist’s work, it never resolves into closed organic shapes. And as the pneumatic forms waft ever upward, they might just as easily be mingling currents of flowing colored air or water; volume and atmosphere become indistinguishable. The viewer is immersed in eddies of pleasure. Desire—as O’Hara might have recognized, had he lived into the 1970s—became Bluhm’s program for painting."

“In the worlds depicted in Nielsen’s light paintings, time is an infinite loop. One is always arriving, looking through, wandering in, traversing. Her saturated, gradient colors burst forth as an invitation to dwell. In our overly scheduled lives, with our self-imposed high expectations, our internal and external pressures, it’s nice to consider a kind of liminal space where to be or not to be is actually not the question—we are always just ‘being.’”

“Throughout her career, Rae has made paintings that are triumphs of abstraction, even as they manage to tell stories, to illustrate layered and complex truths about our world and our interior lives. Some of these truths, the first-impression ones, are purely physical: how paint strokes resolve, how pigments layer, how line and shape redefine the plane. There is no small amount of visual pleasure in this kind of material fact checking; it is one of the reasons paintings have maintained their hold on us, decade after decade, century after century. Our eyes hunger for this kind of fluid, sensual play, the kind that Rae so generously offers.”

“In ‘New Narratives,’ McGinness has taken on the challenges of traditional painting genres—landscape, figure, still life—albeit in a way that remains entirely on-brand for the artist. ‘Perception Management’ (2020), anchoring one wall in the exhibition, still has a cacophony of individual icons, looping and layered edge to edge. But its decorative flatness is undercut by a dazzling river of blue metal leaf snaking across the picture plane and creating the sense of a landscape from a bird’s-eye view.”

Perception Management (2020) is on view in Ryan McGinness: New Narratives at 515 West 22nd Street.

“So long as visual information is evenly distributed at a granular scale, patterning as such doesn’t typically generate overload; but when the grains that make up that information are nonrepetitive, the visual cortex short-circuits in a vain attempt to discern an organizing principle or fundamental logic. At that point things get interesting. The mind of the viewer adjusts and manages to absorb effects that previously were too much to take in. That is a condition I aspire to generate in a viewer.”

For the second iteration of the Birmingham Museum of Art’s 'Wall to Wall’ commission series, Rico Gatson transforms the walls of the museum’s lobby with portraits of two great Birminghamians: a life-size image of an iconic Birmingham figure, Reverend Fred L. Shuttlesworth, and an abstract portrait of artist and composer Sun Ra. Reverend Shuttlesworth and Sun Ra saw the potential in the world around them and used their energy to create profound change. Through community engagement, Gatson hopes to bring the energy from the Civil Rights movement into the present.

“Though her light paintings give off the dreamy aura that anything is possible, they are the result of a meticulous, methodical process in which she arranges compositions made out of any given material atop large sheets of photo-sensitive paper and exposes only certain layers at a time. The exposures of each layer—sometimes 10, 25, or even 50 per work—must be planned in advance, since they are done in a specific order during one long session in the darkroom within her studio near the Hudson River. While her process may start with experimentation, in the end, it’s more like a tightly choreographed dance.”

In Conversation with David Allan Peters

“I like the idea that there is a duality with the work. Yes, there are pastel, pretty colors ... but there are also all these hard-edge happenings, or these stops and starts that happen within the surfaces that do take it to more of the minimalism type idea of rigid, straight lines and order.” Moving through each step of the creation process for his most recent paintings, David Allan Peters dissects how he resists the concept of the “perfect painting” and instead resolves this painterly struggle with his own unique form of creation and elimination. David Allan Peters' solo exhibition is on view at 520 West 21st Street through 6 July. Produced as sponsored content for ARTnews.com

In Conversation with John Sonsini

"I began painting from life really when I was in college, and even though I was surrounded by a lot of abstract painting it never really got under my skin; I was always attracted to figuration." Speaking from his studio in Los Angeles, John Sonsini discusses his traditional approach to painting and his unique ongoing process of finding and working with live models. John Sonsini's solo exhibition will be on view at 520 West 21st Street through 24 May. Produced as sponsored content for ARTnews.com

"I think my work is a way for me to try to understand the world, to try to make sense of my perceptions and the way I see things around me."

"Hans Hofmann, my teacher, influenced me a lot. Not in terms of what I paint, but the way I think about art. He was the first person who made it seem that to be an artist was a noble profession."

ON VIEW | Rico Gatson’s installation is featured in the exhibition “GEOMETRIES” at the Sugar Hill Children’s Museum. The mural is a translation of Gatson’s painting “Untitled (Flag VII)” (2020) and will remain on view through 20 August 2022. Curated by Damien Davis, “GEOMETRIES” features the work Chris Bogia, Marisol Martinez, and Tariku Shiferaw alongside Gatson’s installation.
…
"Learning about shapes, spaces, and spatial concepts is foundational to the pedagogy of early language, literacy, reading and mathematical thinking. We use geometric thinking when we build with blocks, assemble puzzles or create patterns. For adults, the use of geometry often takes the form of rationalizing and understanding abstract concepts and relationships. How can this investigation of lines and shapes help us illustrate the ways in which ideas connect to each other, while having the potential to encircle, abstract and diagram really big ideas?

Through the use of geometric shapes and figures as building blocks, GEOMETRIES aims to showcase the many ways in which shape, color and lines can be used to articulate complex ideas. The four artists involved bridge the gap between childhood and adulthood, with an emphasis on the complex issues of adults, such as mental health, accessibility to education and who education is for, black history and political movements.”

“Such powerful color conversations are contained within and among the shapes for the artist, who speaks of the forms as ‘energy or forces that move in and out of the work.’ Indeed, these shapes are not simply abstract but stem from an intensive investigation of the role abstraction plays in everyday life. Most often, these elements are determined by the resonance of an experience or are inspired by the direct observation of an object as it optically morphs in response to an external light shift,” Kara L. Rooney.

Beverly Fishman is an American painter and sculptor whose work explores science, medicine, and the body. Her large, exquisitely crafted object-paintings feature titles like 'Untitled (Epilepsy, Pain, Chronic Pain, Op**te Dependence),' derived from geometric arrangements of tablets, capsules, and pills; prescribed cocktails for the ailments outlined parenthetically in each work’s title.

Fishman imbues her glossy, exuberant pieces with the hidden implication of what lurks beneath the façade of pharmaceutical culture: the manipulative effect of color on the psyche and the penchant of these colors to mark mental connections between consumer and drug.

ON VIEW | “DUAL,” an exhibition featuring the works of Lisa Corinne-Davis alongside Shirley Kaneda, is on view at the New York Studio School through 17 July.
…
"Lisa Corinne Davis and Shirley Kaneda create bold, colorful abstractions that contain a multitude of meaning through both free expression and restraint, a duality that informs the base geometric structures of their compositions—the grid for Davis, vertical stripes for Kaneda. The destabilized visual fields evidence layers of history—art history, immigration and identity, place and memory—through a palimpsestic interplay of biomorphic and hard-edge forms… Both Davis and Kaneda challenge art historical paradigms, particularly twentieth-century white, masculine modernism and hermetic traditions of abstraction… DUAL showcases the work of two artists who force abstraction to dialogue with the exterior world by engaging in pressing concerns over race and gender, among others. Their unique visual rhetoric creates intangible physical spaces that resonate as psychological ones and invite viewers to actively participate in the formation of new structures of knowledge."
