Courtney Puckett | Visual Artist, The Elementals, on view through November 22 alongside Reeve Schley’s Interiors and Still Lifes.

For the last decade, Puckett’s Character series – large scale sculptures serving as metaphors for surrogate bodies with names that suggest occupational or social roles such as The Gardener, and The Caretaker, have explored the understanding of our human footprint over time through their foundation of found objects and textiles, materials that life constantly puts in our way.

Visit the gallery Saturday and Sunday, 11-5PM.

“When I put down the paintbrush and picked up the scissors, needle, and thread, it connected me immediately to a different kind of history.” Puckett said. She saw a path forward that satisfied her impulses as an emerging artist: to break from the patriarchal tradition of painting, and to align herself with a more subversive lineage, one that is feminist and ecologically sensitive with every fiber of its being.

A lovely profile of Courtney Puckett | Visual Artist in Upstate Diary Issue 23 - out now! Shot by Carlton Davis and written by Matt Moment. Learn more on upstatediary.com and visit our current solo exhibition with Courtney - The Elementals, on view through November 22.

Courtney Puckett, The Elementals
For the last decade, Puckett’s Character series – large scale sculptures serving as metaphors for surrogate bodies with names that suggest occupational or social roles such as The Gardener, and The Caretaker, have explored the understanding of our human footprint over time through their foundation of found objects and textiles, materials that life constantly puts in our way.

In addition to her sculpture practice, The Elementals will also showcase Puckett’s collages and a recent series of short animations. These animations trade physical tactility for the possibility of the digital space to offer each piece a temporary world — a place where the “Characters” can reveal what they do, why they exist, and where they might go next.

Reeve Schley: Interiors and Still Lifes
Born in New York City in 1936, Schley is best known for his atmospheric and evocative landscapes and portrayals of people at leisure. In addition to natural scenes of the American and Canadian Northeast – Schley landscapes executed on-the-spot at beaches and riversides depicting picnics, tennis games and sunbathers. Working with a limited palette, his ephemeral oils and watercolors capture moments of serenity both in nature and amongst friends. Interiors and Still Lifes will showcase an early series of work by Reeve Schley created between 1968-2005 portraying everyday objects and spaces utilizing his acclaimed limited palette.

Join us for an opening reception 4-6PM on Saturday, October 3.

Geary is thrilled to showcase a solo booth at NADA Miami exhibiting the work of Brooklyn based, interdisciplinary artist, Tura Oliveira.

Tura Oliveira’s work explores craft, science fiction and identity. They make paintings, narrative quilts, and sculptures that recall early Renaissance frescoes, internal organs, grotteschi, humanoid hybrids, egg sacs, and tropical creepers with tentacles outstretched. Deeply informed by the legacies of q***r craft, science fiction, and Latin American textile art, Oliveira is invested in the interplay between marginalized identities, aesthetics, fictions, and material cultures.

Geary’s booth at NADA Miami will showcase recent textile work created during their Silver Art residency in conversation with sculpture and works on paper.
