Art: 911
Paul Sharpe Contemporary Art, New York
This show combines work created by artists that depict the tragedy of September 11th, paired with artists who produced work since 911 which may not have an obvious reference to the tragedy.
This show combines work created by artists that depict the tragedy of September
11th, paired with artists who produced work since 911 which may not have an
obvious reference to the tragedy. The pairing of literal and abstract works
takes on a new meaning as both are viewed in light of the events of last
September.
Many works are representational, some with 911 themes and others
without. A few images are included below. The group show will include gallery
artists and guest artists, in painting and photography, to provide a
comprehensive look at how artists are responding to the tragedy through their
work.
In one instance, for example, a painter who formerly thought there was no
direct impact, now realizes that her work is stronger and bolder, strengthened
by the fact that the event hit so close to home and exposed a raw nerve that is
now evident in her work.
The show opens on August 28th and continues through September 16th.

PSCA is founded on the premise that the artist comes first and is the raison
d'être of the art world. The role of the gallerist is to nurture creative
accomplishment and to cultivate the collectors and curators who can sustain the
artists. The artists represented are those whose work one would wish to collect
and to enjoy, while helping to support their careers. PSCA is led by Paul
Sharpe, formerly of the Whitney Museum of American Art. The space itself is
meant to encourage a dialogue in issues in art today and as such is designed as
a salon rather than a white box. The color scheme is blue, camel, and white and
it is inspired by a Justin Knowles painting of the mid 1960s. The concept is to
create a space where artist and art lovers can congregate and appreciate fine
contemporary art.
The gallery is open on Wednesday through Saturday from Noon to 6 PM, and by
appointment in the months of July and August.
