Nedra Matteucci Galleries’ 2018 exhibition opens with an artist reception from 1:00 – 3:00 p.m. on Saturday, June 23; the work will remain on display through July 21.
Walt Gonske has painted on location for over four decades, working in wind, sun, and snow. Through an expressive brush he captures his experience of a place: light and color, movement and mood. Each painting is a meditation on mood, and an example of his ever-deepening relationship with his preferred subject matter. This retrospective exhibition consists of personally selected works from the artist’s own collection, and is a long-awaited testament to his artistic vision and supreme dedication.
Market Art + Design, the East End’s premier modern and contemporary art fair, returns to the town of Bridgehampton this July 5 – 8 for the fair’s eighth edition. From its coveted location in the heart of the Hamptons – just off Highway 27 at the Bridgehampton Museum – Market Art + Design will showcase presentations by 65 top galleries enhanced by a striking and tightly curated design component pulling from dealers and designers from around the world.

Salon de Fleurus is an artwork, a contemporary reconstruction of Gertrude Stein’s Parisian salon that existed at 27 rue de Fleurus from 1904-34. It is a work that displays and references a story of modern art’s beginnings through one of the first gathering places for burgeoning young artists such as Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso, and Stein herself. It was in Stein’s salon that paintings by Cézanne, Matisse and Picasso were seen exhibited together for the first time both by her peers and transatlantic art experts who spread the word back home, eventually creating the American narrative of European modern art familiar today.
Through painted reproductions exhibited within a constructed interior, the Salon de Fleurus questions where, why and how certain narratives of modern art originated through the salon structure that first canonized them. These copies are perhaps more significant and tell us more about history than the original artworks themselves by weaving fiction into history and leaving space to contemplate and reconsider the past. When one looks at Picasso here, they are viewing Picasso through the lens of Stein.
From 1992 to 2014 Salon de Fleurus existed as a semi-private salon in lower Manhattan. Since then, it has appeared in fragments in Beirut, Paris and Los Angeles and will now be touring as a complete project via Independent Curators International (ICI). The exhibition contains painting reproductions as well as a historic timeline of Stein and her circle, and training script for a “doorman” or gallery monitor to best evoke the story of the salon to visitors. Additionally, a newsprint catalogue designed by Garrick Gott including press and images from the Salon’s twenty-year history and newly commissioned essays and interviews will be available to compliment the exhibition. Art spaces are invited to source local details such as furniture, literature, decorations, and objects that further relate to early modernity, and to organize readings, talks, screenings and events that use the salon as a forum for discussing diverging art historical narratives.
Salon de Fleurus is a traveling exhibition organized by Salon de Fleurus and Independent Curators International (ICI), New York. The exhibition and tour are made possible by The Fine Art Dealers Association (FADA), and with the generous support from ICI’s International Forum and the ICI Board of Trustees.

Beatriz Esguerra Art has the pleasure of exhibiting Geometric Alignment, the most recent solo exhibition of Colombian artist Aníbal Gomescásseres on Thursday, June 7, 2018 at 7 pm.
His work is inspired by the concept of ¨sacred geometry,¨ or the belief that the geometry and mathematical ratios, harmonics and proportion of nature are also found in music, light and cosmology. Interpreted as such, one could perceive contemporary problems as disordered, or flawed geometry. The geometry, forms and flat colors found in these works presented are the result of a technical experimentation interwoven with a concern for what has become artificial nature and the realities that technology presents in our contemporary world.
Gomescásseres introduces the viewer to an augmented observation of our digital environment in which we move, where the screens in his works are transformed into sources of escape and meditation. The artist thus has adapted these electronic devices and turns them into pieces that respond before the presence of a body.
The artist describes his artistic practice as union of both plastic (sculptural) and artificial elements, which evoke a technoethical lifestyle. In addition to mitigating the sense of emptiness that can be brought on by the use of technology, these works invoke us to strengthen live and natural landscapes through a sense of meditation. It is here that his works serve as a fuse, inspiring the viewer in a transcendental reflection.
The area of study where philosophy and technology meet is termed technoethics. It is in interdisciplinary area of investigation that analyzes the ethical dimensions of these systems and the practices that allow us to advance as a technological society.
Jerald Melberg Gallery is pleased to present Thunderhead, a solo exhibition of new paintings by Brian Rutenberg. With these new oil paintings on linen and paper, the artist returns once again to his meditations on the landscapes of the South Carolina Low Country. This is Rutenberg’s seventh exhibition with the gallery.
Brian Rutenberg wrote the following statement about this new body of work:
I do one thing. Every painting I make begins and ends with the same image, a tree trunk and its shadow; that physical marking of location. A tree and its shadow say, “This is here”. By paying attention and drawing them in great detail with pencil on paper, I respond, “I am here.” I’ve never needed a position because I have a place. I don’t paint my native South Carolina, I manufacture a place and South Carolina becomes it.
This new body of work is collectively titled Thunderhead because a thunderhead in the sky portends a storm; something far away will soon be close. This is why all of my landscape paintings refer to standing in one season peering ahead into another, longing for October in May. I always go back to the wisdom of Winnie the Pooh, who said that his favorite thing isn’t getting honey, but that moment when he might get honey. Perhaps this is the source of all art: unfulfilled longing. It has taken me 42 years of painting to see what was there all along, that something can only come to life when we can’t have it.
A South Carolina native, Rutenberg received a BFA from the College of Charleston and an MFA from the School of Visual Arts in New York City. He will be awarded an honorary doctorate from the College of Charleston and deliver the commencement speech in the spring of 2018. Among his numerous awards and achievements, he is a Fulbright Scholar, a New York Foundation for the Arts Fellow and an Irish Museum of Modern Art Work Programme Recipient. Since 1985 Rutenberg has been honored with over 100 gallery and museum exhibitions across the United States, including most recently the Hoyt Center for the Arts (New Castle, PA), Saginaw Art Museum, and Greenville County Museum of Art (SC). Brian also recently published the book Clear Seeing Place, which describes his journey as an artist and philosophy on painting.

Bert Green Fine Art is pleased to present our seventh solo show by San Francisco-based painter Sandra Yagi.
Sandra Yagi is interested in the intersection between science and art, using themes of anatomy, genetic manipulation, evolution, and medical oddities as tools in the creation of intricate, small and medium scale paintings in traditional styles. These works depict strange worlds where flesh is malleable, skeletons of conjoined twins play, flayed simians invade the historical canons of Western art, and small, delicate, genetically hybrid creatures satisfy unusual curiosities and symbolize moral conundrums.
All gallery events are free and open to the public. Additional exhibition information, press releases and high resolution images may be found at the gallery website at http://bgfa.us.
