The Kravets/Wehby Gallery is pleased to announce a group exhibition
including new work by Dhruvi Acharya, Yasamin Keshtkar, Mary Nangah,
Conrad Ruiz and Didier William opening on Thursday, June 25 and
running through July 31, 2009.
The artists in the Summer Exhibition all share a common global
address. Their work is as diverse as the worlds they come from.
Dhruvi Acharya resides in Mumbai and has exhibited her luscious
socially conscious paintings throughout India.
Yasamin Keshtkar
resides in Brooklyn where she recently graduated from Pratt with her
MFA. She mixes her Persian and Polish heritage in paintings that
often include intricate references to Persian textiles. Mary Nangah
lives and works in Queens where she elaborately cuts, weaves and
sculpts hair of all types on both her human subjects and in her
paintings. A recent MFA graduate of Parsons, Mary was born in
Cameroon and moved to Texas when she was 12. Conrad Ruiz grew up in
Hacienda Heights, CA. He recently returned to LA after completing
his MFA at California College of the Arts in San Francisco. Conrad
draws upon cinema and fantasy painting a created childhood of
controlled catastrophe. Didier William is originally from Haiti and
now lives and works in New Haven, CT where he recently received his
MFA from Yale. His largely abstract works exhibit a vivid color
palette full of textured depth and contagious vitality.
