GUY DILL JOINS JNG ROSTER

Our newest addition to the gallery, Guy Dill is a renowned American sculptor. Both his bronze and marble sculptures while not figurative, often suggest the lines, curves and lithe swoops of bodies and movement itself. His works are included in many important museum, public and private collections, including: the Museum of Modern Art, NYC; Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, NYC; Whitney Museum of Art, NYC and the Smithsonian Institution, Washington D.C. We have just received the sculpture featured above and we will be having a solo exhibition for him in February, 2019.  See the available sculpture here.

DAVID LEVINTHAL IN MUSEUM EXHIBITION

War, Myth, Desire; George Eastman Museum, June 1, 2018 - January 1, 2019

Since the mid-1970's David Levinthal has been exploring the relationship between photographic imagery and the events, characters, myths and fantasies that shape American culture. In 1978, the George Eastman Museum (Rochester, NY) was the first museum to exhibit photographs from his first major series, Hitler Moves East, which effectively launched his career. Levinthal's work has been a touchstone for conversation about theories of representation in photography and contemporary art ever since.

War, Myth, Desire is the first museum retrospective of his work in more than twenty years. The exhibition will include photographs from some of his major series, such as Wild West (1986-89), Barbie (1995-98), Baseball (1998-2004) and History (2010-15) - as well as works that have rarely or never been exhibited previously.

See the available Wild West and Baseball photographs here.

A.J. was commissioned to paint a large mural on the exterior of a home as part of the 2018 San Francisco Decorator Showcase. The mural consisted of three of A.J.'s signature bullseye circles.

Brenda Mallory Exhibition at Portland Art Museum

Brenda Mallory’s installation entitled Recurring Chapters in the Book of Inevitable Outcomes will be on display through October 2017.  Her work is inspired by Cherokee history, and addresses ideas of disruption, repair, and renewal.  Working with waxed cloth, steel, nuts and bolts, the installation consists of tall shapes resembling charred timbers or skeletal plant stalks surrounded by colorful, lively spore-like forms. The ruin-like floor pieces speak to what was left behind, but the resilience and hope shows in the spore-like forms that scatter across the walls and floor like blowing seeds.

Brad Overton interviewed in Western Art and Architecture

"A PHILOSOPHER'S PALETTE"

"I believe the best art comes out of deliberate practice and discipline mixed with a willingness to trust yourself as an artist and a human being," states Utah artist Bradford Overton.  In his richly detailed paintings, we discover he is a master of mystery and a weaver of spells as he explores beauty and narrative with original style.
