| In 1983, Sherry French Gallery opened its doors in what was then the center of the art world-- New York's midtown Manhattan-- in order to focus exclusively on American contemporary representational painting and sculpture (a.k.a. Realist Art). Owner Sherry French says, "My premise was and still is: the American public has always loved what it knows to be real, can sense, feel and identify. I can best describe the gallery's focus as realism where the emotional or psychological element is heightened, whether it be via landscape, still life and figure painting or sculpture. This, to me, is what makes great art-- art that lasts over time. And having been an artist myself, I appreciate the time-honored skills of draftsmanship in drawing and craftsmanship in painting." A link to the past is the gallery's underlying theme-- be it: a painting technique such as egg tempera and gold leaf taken from the Renaissance masters, a show theme such as the EXPEDITION series taken from the 19th century Hudson River Painters, or up-dating long- forgotten subject matters such as the Seven Deadly Sins in the March exhibition, "Religious Art: 2000+". In addition to holding ten one-person and group shows every year, Sherry French has originated seventeen group theme shows that have traveled to over sixty museums around the country. With the millennial shift of the art world's center, Sherry French Gallery moved from Fifth Avenue and 57th Street to trendy Chelsea. In its new home at 601 West 26th Street, Sherry French Gallery is now surrounded by abstract and installation galleries as well as hot, internet start-ups who have dubbed the gallery's paintings as "stretcher and canvas art." Sherry French says, "I am proud to show my realist artists' highly-detailed, creative expressions that can be hung on walls and enjoyed forever." |
