Multiple media spanning from more traditional forms to graphic design and video are employed and included in this presentation.

NICOLA LóPEZ Closing Friday July 10In her third solo show with Caren Golden Fine Art, Nicola López resumes her investigation of the dizzying complexity of the urban landscape. As in her past efforts, the dynamic, mixed media works in Shadowland feature the industrial components of the labyrinthine modern city. López portrays the city as both a symbol of achievement and failure; sites of colossal engineering, social coordination and interconnectedness; but also anxiety and dislocation.
Nicola López breaks the city down to its nu... ...more
BILL SAYLOR Closing Saturday July 11Leo Koenig Inc. is pleased to announce the opening of a solo exhibition of paintings and sculpture by Bill Saylor.
For this exhibition, Saylor continues to meld together a profuse and varied imagery of the mechanical and the organic, high and low, sublime and ludicrous, which results in an intoxicating hybrid. Frenetic environments arise from the artist navigating freely between gestural brushwork, alternating rough and detailed drawing, text, collage, and incongruous sculpture that is mea... ...more

MICHAEL BüHLER-ROSE, TALIA CHETRIT, MATTHEW GAMBER, STEPHEN GILL, ADRIEN MIS... Reception Wednesday July 8, 6:00 pm - 8:00 pmAfter Color examines how artists employ conceptual black-and-white photography to strengthen their ideas and how such usage comments on the dominance of large-scale, color photography as seen in the contemporary art world over the last 25 years.
In their work, Michael Bühler-Rose, Talia Chetrit and Noel Rodo-Vankeulen raise questions about medium specificity. Bühler-Rose merges a photogram of the word “edition” with hand painted numbers to ask: At what point does a piece become unique, and ... ...more

Although Daddona a photographer and Murray an illustrator/mixed media artist initially seem quite different, their work shares a sensibility for struggle, emotional disconnect with the human condition and outward connections between maternal and natural instincts.
Each artist shares a struggle and the courage to confront the viewer with self-awareness which in turn creates disco... ...more

BEN TOUR Reception Saturday July 11, 6:00 pm - 9:00 pmJoshua Liner Gallery is pleased to present Crash & Burn, an exhibition of new mixed-media works by Canadian artist Ben Tour. This is Tour’s first solo show with the gallery.
