 Ioanna Sardellis: Untitled, 2001 wooden lath and nails, 19 x 24 x 22 inches Group A Mixed-Media, Salon-Style Exhibition Peter Beckett, Scott Belville, Rebecca Cuming, Nguyen Ducmanh, Chris Duncan, Hollis Dunlap, Derrick Guild, Kazuko Inoue, Joan Levy, Gina Minichino, Judy Molyneux, John Parks, Stephen Cornelius Roberts, Ioanna Sardellis, Nancy Scheinman, Ron Schwerin, Madeline Silber, Oriane Stender, Ralph Turturro, Robert Valdes Group, a salon-style exhibition of work by established gallery artists alongside new, emerging artists will be on view at the Allan Stone Gallery. The show will feature over fifteen artists exploring different disciplines and schools. Group showcases realist and abstract paintings, as well as mixed-media works and sculpture. The representational school includes miniature realist figuration, Bay Area Plein Air School landscapes, heroic Western landscapes, Southern Gothic painting, as well as traditional realist portraits and still lifes, alongside monumental nudes. The abstraction ranges from New York School influenced painting to minimal, geometric and biomorphic work, as well as sculpture informed by accumulation and junk art. Among the featured new artists are Gina Minichino, a New-Jersey-based miniature painter; Hollis Dunlap, a young traditional figurative painter; Scott Belville, a Southern Gothic painter; as well as Judy Molyneaux who paints in the tradition of Bay Area Plein Air School; and Joan Levy, a heroic Western landscape painter. Among the abstract painters are Ralph Turturro who with his thickly layered canvases paints in the tradition of New York School of Abstract Expressionism, and Madeline Silber whose biomorphic compositions are clean, yet strangely playful. In addition, the gallery will be featuring works by Chris Duncan and Ioanna Sardellis, two sculptors who work in the tradition of accumulation/junk art. Some of the gallery artists included in the exhibition are Ron Schwerin, a classical figure painter in the old-master tradition; Stephen Cornelius Roberts, who paints larger-than-life nudes influenced by Alfred Leslie; and Derrick Guild, whose dark still lifes exude a Chiaroscuro esthetic. Rounding out the group is Kazuko Inoue whose subtle geometric canvases resonate with planar crusts of color. The Allan Stone Gallery opens each season with a group show showcasing new and emerging artists, alongside gallery artists. Wayne Thiebaud, Eva Hesse and Andy Warhol are just a few of the artists who have participated in the past group shows. This year’s group-show mix reflects more broadly the esthetic shown in the gallery over the past forty years.
