CARTER BURDEN GALLERY ANNOUNCES NEW EXHIBITIONS BY RE-EMERGING OLDER ARTISTS

Three new exhibitions featuring the unique artwork of re-emerging older artists will be on display October 18, 2018 – November 8, 2018 at the Carter Burden Gallery, located at 548 West 28th Street #534 in Manhattan. The Carter Burden Gallery showcases the vibrant, cutting-edge and transformative art that is the product of the unique cultural wealth possessed by older professional artists.

The East Gallery will feature the exhibition GUNS!......LOCKS!......CHAINS!, by Roz Dimon, Scott Geyer, and Jay Moss. Dimon, an innovator in New York’s fine art industry for over 30 years, presents the idea of drawing machines with a machine with her white-on-black digital drawings of guns printed on canvas. The drawings in each piece are transparent to all the viewer to analyze the inner mechanics of the subject.

Geyer presents still life oil paintings from his series Locks and Chains, which includes subjects found throughout New York City. Each piece unites light shades and dark shadows with complimentary colors to create a compelling composition. Geyer’s detailed depictions of weatherworn metal used to keep people, their property, and the city safe are objects that represent both security and servitude.

In his first exhibition with the Carter Burden Gallery, Moss presents detailed sculptures influenced by World War II era social issues, war, and peace. The sculptures, which are composed of wood, lead, metal, and cloth, reflect his curiosity, wonder, and sometimes shock of his surroundings. “Much of my work here is influenced by my experience in World War II,” said Moss. “How can it not? But in addition to social commentary, I focus on, and ravish, the unexpected, the beauty and intensity that virtually surrounds us on our diverse planet.”

The Last Straw exhibition will be in the West Gallery where Andrea Lilienthal will present her floor installation, Dark Round. The installation portrays a black hole on the gallery floor with a glittering halo of black-pigmented straw bales surrounding a stellar cavity. Combining natural elements with synthetic materials such as paint and glitter, Lilienthal questions the human relationship with the environment in her installation.

In the On the Wall installation Susan Lisbin created over thirty clay shapes to display on one wall and three large papier-mâché pieces on the other. By giving each piece human characteristics, Lisbin suggests that each sculpture has its own personality. Both the clay and pier-mâché pieces serve as a medium for viewers to consider their relationships with themselves and the world around them.
