Atelier On Spring Galerie, located at 19 Spring Street, Oyster Bay, New York, re-opened its doors with an exhibition of large scaled paintings by Jim Kogel, an artist with a degree in Civil Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University.

The exhibition could be viewed through the large window of the gallery for concerns regarding social distancing. Performance by dancer Evelyn Alas was performed in the gallery, and viewed on the street through the large window at the Opening on March 20.

A group exhibition which consists of diverse contemporary works by artists inspired by the structural forms of architecture. The paintings, sculptures and photographs gathered here reflect on the gap between the known and the invented, the found and imagined worlds of architecture. Shadowy specters, brilliantly colored silhouettes and memory infused renderings of buildings populate these works. In addition, images of the rapidly changing skyline of New York city along with depictions of abandoned buildings decaying in a postindustrial landscape, fill the exhibit with questions about regeneration and loss.

Immersive interactive installation by muralist Jillian Morrison

Jerelyn Hanrahan began her artistic career as a painter, and via an international and rigorous career her studio practice has broadened, integrating sculpture, interactive conceptual public art projects, and porcelain works.

The series of paintings currently on view in the Supersized exhibition were inspired by the artists research of biological illustrations of cell structures. The imagery for these paintings were developed intuitively using a mark making process until the forms were found and embellished. These paintings were executed in Jerelyn Hanrahan’s top floor studio located at 195 Chrystie Street in New York in the late 1980’s.

SOLITAIRE, a group exhibition of works on paper, conceptual reliefs and sculpture. With a second wave of the COVID pandemic this exhibition represents works developed in isolated circumstances.
