New York, NY - Forum Gallery presents Summer of Love, an exhibition imparting the frolicsome fever of summertime love and play. More than twenty modern and contemporary paintings, works on paper, quilts, and sculpture by seventeen artists will be on view, captivating us with expressions evocative of carefree excursions and silent moments of reverie. Summer of Love will open on Monday, July 6th following the Independence Day holiday, continuing through Friday, August 28th.
Ethereal, rapturous works by Amélie Chabannes, Nathaniel Aric Galka, Chaim Gross (1902-1991), Brian Rutenberg, and Ben Shahn (1898-1969), transport us to dreamy worlds of spiritual transcendence. The expressions of these artists defy the earthbound physicality of their distinctive hand and textural mediums.
Alongside these otherworldly gems are atmospheric depictions of places and spaces rendered with the unique talents of visionary artists Frederick Brosen, Davis Cone, Linden Frederick, Gregory Gillespie (1936-2000), Bernard Karfiol (1886-1952), and Anthony Mitri. Furthering the mood are tender and spirited moments by Rance Jones, Béla Kádár (1877-1956), Clio Newton, Raphael Soyer (1899-1987), Michael C. Thorpe, and Max Weber (1881-1961) also on view in Summer of Love.
