The Mother | The Father opens tomorrow at 6PM!

With this exhibition we see an expansive approach to the definitions of Mother and Father beyond the literal associations of parenting to include universal and symbolic expressions of archetypal forms.

By extension (and paradoxically), the works produced for this exhibition, though reflective of ideations on the Mother and Father theme, will ultimately be the highest expression of the true self; we ascertain that one can only know themselves through connections to community, bonds that commence with family and ultimately extend out to a global kinship, a primal tribe tethered not to time, place nor to any single ethnicity, heritage, religion, or nation.

OPEN CALL

The Mother - The Father
Equity Gallery Lighting Fundraiser
May 16th - June 15th, 2024
Opening Reception, Thurs. May 16th 6 - 8pm

Call For Donated WorksNYAE seeks to mount a fundraising exhibition exploring the greatest of all first impressions, the Mother and Father, the architects of the human experience. The exhibition will comprise small works (either 6” x 8” or 8” x 10”) donated to NYAE for sale to fund lighting upgrades for Equity Gallery. With this exhibition we suggest an expansive approach to the definitions of Mother and Father beyond the literal associations of parenting to include universal and symbolic expressions of archetypal forms conceptualizing the preeminence of the collective in keeping with NYAE as an aspirant association whose energies and resources flow to the greater good. By extension (and paradoxically), we expect that the works produced for this exhibition, though reflective of ideations on the Mother and Father theme, will ultimately be the highest expression of the true self; we ascertain that one can only know themselves through connections to community, bonds that commence with family and ultimately extend out to a global kinship, a primal tribe tethered not to time, place nor to any single ethnicity, heritage, religion, or nation.

03/21/2024

Next Thursday join us for the opening of GHOST TOWN featuring Patrick Sansone and Richard Klein!

Ghost Town is a meditation on abandoned commercial enterprises, the result of an economic or natural disaster, in towns and cities everywhere. The emptiness and decay in the iconic signs and forlorn window shops are faithfully gathered and recorded by Patrick Sansone and Richard Klein in their photographs taken during road trips and in their on-going research. The poetics that these left-behind artifacts embody are rendered in photography and assemblage as each artist navigates their own feelings about this subject.

03/07/2024

Tonight! Come to the opening of GREEN from 6PM to 8PM. We have over 30 amazing artists showing fascinating work with the prompt of the color green.

"If one could point to one color emblematic of the profound ambivalence and exasperating contradictions of the times we live in, green would clinch the role. Whilst cast as a symbol of life, luck, and hope, it also signals disorder, greed, and poison. For artists, green pigments were known to be notoriously unstable even when locked in resinous glazes--hence blackened passages once depicting flowing pastures and the earned moniker “the devil’s color”. At best, green is mercurial, the mutable and fleeting aspects of childhood, love, and money. "

Welcome into the GREEN!

Thursday at 6PM Equity Gallery make sure to come to Equity Gallery for the opening of GREEN: Monsters, Money, Lust, Luck and Lucifer.

"If one could point to one color emblematic of the profound ambivalence and exasperating contradictions of the times we live in, green would clinch the role. Whilst cast as a symbol of life, luck, and hope, it also signals disorder, greed, and poison. For artists, green pigments were known to be notoriously unstable even when locked in resinous glazes--hence blackened passages once depicting flowing pastures and the earned moniker “the devil’s color”. At best, green is mercurial, the mutable and fleeting aspects of childhood, love, and money.

And yet, the romantic sees green as the soothing color of nature, and for environmentalists, a rallying call to save the planet.

Equity invites its member artists and allied practitioners to submit works exploring the dichotomies, mythologies, and suspicious underpinnings of chroma’s most fugitive player. "

Work highlighted: Arlene Rush, "Just a Spoon Full of Sugar Helps The Medicine Go Down"

NYAE Presents Abisay Puentes. See the process of his work in in this lovely video! You can find Abisay's work in our website in our special Member Studio Sales Store.

"Abisay Puentes (1974) studied music from a young age, as his mother wanted him to become a pianist, but his passion was painting. As a teenager, he chose not to continue with the piano, focusing instead on painting. It was his art philosophy teacher, Dr. Juan Enrique Guerrero, who ignited in him the curiosity to create a painting that possessed a sound space. It wasn't until after the year 2000 that Abisay began working on composing the first musical pieces for his paintings. When Abisay saw the graphic scores of Cornelius Cardew, he understood the visuality implicit in all existing musical notation systems; thus, Abisay Puentes' music is encoded in his paintings. In 2010, he left his birth country, Cuba, and moved to New York, USA. There, he continued to create the visuality of his art and to compose his musical universe."

Lennart Anderson Bacchanal circa 1960
Ultimately Anderson became a master of multi-figure allegories--what he called "idylls". That olive wreath came at a great price. His work was not the product of a facile bravura, as say Sargent, but rather an emotive and ongoing struggle with the media and his self-perceived short-comings as a draughtsman remedied (he hoped) by elaborate figure proportion formulas. Struck with macular degeneration and his sight all but gone, he kept producing these large scale paintings by using saved figure drawings made from life whist his sight was still intact. These late works, sisters to Titian's last pieta, are rough riders blotched with primitive impulses and stained with mortality. Never did painting feel so close to the divine.

XOXO // Curved tube cutting Work-in-progress shots of XOXO - by @oterofuentes @equitygallery and @wharlemartfund are proud to present this work this spring at Governs Island's Nolan Park! “XOXO” emerges from the artist’s 7 year sculpture practice informed by an extensive experimentation and study of circular forms and their boundless capacity to exist in space and impart universal narratives. Additionally, Fuentes draws from his university training in architecture, digital fabrication, and 9 years of work experience translating architectural designs into buildable solutions that serve the technical aspects of a project while preserving the intent and spirit of the original design concepts. This project was made possible by a generous grant from the @nyscouncilonthearts
