Current Exhibition:
Rose Shulman-Litwin, Nature of the Seductress
January 25 - March 1, 2024
Rose’s work delves into the intricate nuances of female sexuality, exploring the enduring impact of the male gaze. Drawing inspiration from a poem (4q184) found in the Dead Sea scrolls, the exhibition unfolds a narrative of a seductive woman whose sensuality diverts men from the divine path. The thematic exploration examines the classic Adam and Eve tale, challenging the narrative that traditionally places blame on women for leading men astray. Through her work, Rose prompts reflection on societal perceptions and challenges prevailing stereotypes associated with women’s allure and agency.

Matt Spire
April 27 at Richard Tattinger Gallery
Matthew is an abstract painter based in Brooklyn. He graduated with a BFA from the Art Institute of Boston. His artistic practice began with on site mural works and evolved into a fine art practice of colorful abstractions on linen and large canvases. Inspired by text from songs, poems and literature, his work is vibrant and layered, reminiscent of the abstract expressionist movement. His work is held in private collections across the USA.
Untitled, a collection by Fernando Gregorio Pedroza
February 25- March 22, 2023
A series of thoughts on paper; studies of a personal, undetermined future.
Fernando Gregorio Pedroza is a multidisciplinary artist with a BFA from Oregon College of Art and Craft . Fernando's work frequently explores topics of the psyche, ego, mental health, sexuality, and identity. He tends to mix a wide range of wet and dry materials while focusing heavily on linework, color, and the figure.
Having a Moment by Alex Leav
November 17- December 17, 2022
Alex Leav (b. 1997, New York) is a visual artist who lives and works in New York City. Leav received her BA in History from the University of Michigan (2019) and an MFA from the School of Visual Arts (2022). Leav’s work investigates identity and authenticity in the age of social media. Her paintings – which often feature pastel-y jumbles of overlapping figures, objects, and screen-shaped forms – explore the commodification of the self through digital advertising and branding.
Can You See The Purple? by Cydney Williams
October 4 - November 4, 2022
Williams (b. 1994). Williams centers her work in the vitality of place and its importance in the present moment. Her use of landscape and topographical maps are an exploration of her time spent in Santa Fe, New Mexico in residency from January to August 2022.
Williams’ landscapes, often reduced to simplified suns, moons, and horizon lines, convey the power of the vast desert and highlight the parallels between the exploitation of Earth’s resources and women’s labor for generations. As she condenses these grand natural experiences into a few lines and shapes she represents the power of the striking vistas New Mexico offers into symbols relaying the impact of the divine feminine; their marks often overlooked, but their power remaining omnipresent.
