Group painting exhibition

Gering and Lopez Gallery, New York

GERING & LóPEZ GALLERY is pleased to present Just what is it that makes today's painting so different, so appealing?, a group painting exhibition.

The landscape of American painting has changed radically in the past half century. Although many leading figures of the medium have divergent styles, there are observational commonalities latent within much of the genre. Just what is it that makes today's painting so different, so appealing? seeks to create a dialogue between the works of several artists shaping the terrain of contemporary American painting, exploring the interplay of overlapping themes that reappear across the works. Using a classic piece by Frank Stella as the historical referent, this exhibition traces the motifs of the minimalist line, vibrant use of color and material, and Pop culture imagery throughout the paintings on display.

Featuring works by:

Frank Stella
KAWS
Keith Haring
Erik Parker
Lisa Ruyter
Michael Bevilacqua
Michael Scott
Steve DiBenedetto
Steven Parrino
John Tremblay
George Condo

Just what is it that makes today's painting so different, so appealing? aims to explore the je ne sais quoi that makes American painting what it is today.
