America is based on the patriots: Colonists who rebelled against British rule during the American Revolution. They adhered to a social and political philosophy that rejects monarchy and aristocracy, favoring liberty and unalienable individual rights for all.

In a small mountain village outside Verona, the Italian artist Elisabetta Zangrandi has toiled over the past year to create a portrait gallery that reflects the labors of nine hundred years of artist-women.
With her distinctive figurative style, Zangrandi has reinterpreted an array of female artists’ self-portraits, transforming these art historical icons into her own personal canon of predecessors—and Keyes Gallery into an alternative feminist museum.

CAST OF CHARACTERS

Opening Reception Sat Sept 30th 6-8pm

In the worlds of Walter Bobbie and James Della Volpe — there is a visual manifestation of the cast of characters that occupy the canvases. The passionate expertise in portraying these illuminated creatures gives us a privileged window into the painters souls. That is the beginning and the end to the definition of good art. This exhibition showcases the spectacle of purity.

I wanted to transform the viewer from a world of sometimes harsh reality to that which is magical and happy. Bert once told me that he started photography in photo journalism, but after developing the pictures in his dark room, he felt so sad, he tore them all up. He wanted to create images that made people smile.
He wanted to create magic.
Here’s a quote from the documentary, Bert Stern Original Madman
“I fell in love with everything I photographed. I had to photograph my desires. My loves. And it’s like taking a picture.
You could just do anything because it’s magical.” - Bert Stern

Bloom is the life force that lives on forever through Bert’s iconic images; that which blossoms through light, color, beauty, fire & rebirth.

~Shannah Laumeister Stern

In my last show at  Keyes gallery I exhibited abstract ceramic sculptures resembling sea urchins. Using a similar format I was able to experiment with many different types of glazes and firing.
In this show I have been working more with the idea of communities.
We all have various communities in our life starting with the family unit.

~ Hilary Helfant

Lucy Villeneuve 27, from East Hampton, has been painting since childhood. In her works, this dialogue is translated into a type of dance, a visual conversation between her and whatever is responding on the canvas.  

I work with the elements of Taoism and specifically the Wu Wei, the art of nondoing, and try to focus on the experience of painting rather than the work itself. Each shape feels intentional yet just out of my grasp, a slippery in-betweenness, something short of being too far or not enough. 
In these works, I focused on unfolding my visual language, telling a story of communion. 
~Lucy Villeneuve

Sporis Spectaculi includes Randy Polumbo’s recent work exploring fungi as sculptural material —reishi mycelium sculptural panels, surrealistic chandeliers and tactile tables along with his signature hand blown glass and video artworks.

Described recently in Curbed as “Polumbo’s otherworldly design”, these include: Beckoning, a hand beaded mycelium hive chandelier with handblown pistils, stamens, and micro-planets; Cyclops 2022, hand cast glass enclosing video of naturally occurring phenomena, a blinking eye, ocean waves; an infamous early work, Love Sac, cast from a Birkin Bag with blown glass pieces inspired by stamens reminiscent of sex toys and more. 
Sporis Spectaculi is at once a spore spectacle, hyperreal fantasy, shared memory of the future. 

Continuing the Summer Women Series, we are proud to present Leslee Stradford, an artist and educator born in Chicago, Illinois, and raised in Hyde Park, one of Chicago's most diverse neighborhoods.
Stradford has exhibited worldwide at numerous galleries and museums, including Keyes Art in Sag Harbor, NY, and the Oakland Museum of California.

In 2021, Leslee Stradford had a solo exhibit titled Padraos at The Church
in Sag Harbor. She is currently on view at The Parrish Museum in Artists Choose Parrish: Stradford and has paid homage to Robert Motherwell with her four large-scale abstract works.

Fay Lansner (1921 – 2010) was a painter of profound complexity and daring. Her work extended over six decades, fueled by an exhaustive pursuit of drawing and pictorial space. Her sinuous lines defied conventions by depicting idealized images of emboldened and liberated women. A selection of Lansner's work will be on view at Keyes Art and Hamptons Fine Art Fair Booth 328 and on inducted into their Hamptons Hall of Fame on June 15th, 2023.

Rozeal mixes and matches from different sources, creating charged and beautiful paintings with personalities like courtesans from Japan's Edo period (1603–1867) fused with 21st-century hip-hop stars. These are her "Afro-Asiatic Allegories." Rozeal will be exhibiting a series of new paintings and drawings. The visual conventions of Japanese ukiyo-e and shunga, the Japanese tradition of erotic art, play a strong role in her work, a thread running through each painting.

A fully illustrated catalog dedicated to more than 20 years of her work will be available at the gallery.
 

OPENING SATURDAY JUNE 10TH 6-8PM

Nela Arias-Misson was born in Cuba and died in Miami just a few weeks before her 100th birthday (September 8, 1915 – July 17, 2015). She risked making art in the 1950s when men dominated the art scene in New York City. Nela studied with Hans Hoffman and adopted the belief that painting was an "arena" for action, immediacy, and rawness. Keyes is exhibiting a highly selected survey bringing together an outstanding selection of Arias-Misson's work, illustrating the progress and achievements that she realized both on a personal level and on the entire development of abstraction in the 20th century. 

Her masterpiece "The Whale" from 1989 underscores these quixotic associations and exemplifies the degree of her inventiveness. Defiantly, Arias-Misson challenges the conventions of her master Hans Hofmann, and her sense of adventure drives her to even greater extremes as she places her faith in authenticity and self-awareness.

Rosalind Letcher was one of the key members of a vibrant group of Black artists called the Eastville Artists Association based in Sag Harbor—a community drawn together by their social ties rather than an aesthetic program. “Africa, the Orient, European Expressionism, Cubism blend here — yet above all, American individualism is foremost.” The curator of Eastville Artists Association exhibition at Guild Hall in 1979 made this astute proclamation in her introduction to a groundbreaking show of Letcher and her peers' work.  Since receiving her professional artistic training at NYU and City College, Letcher forged a singular approach to figurative painting that draws upon her childhood memories.  

This exhibition at Keyes Art will be her first public exhibition in 20 years that will foreground her recently rediscovered oeuvre.

Exhibition Dates: June 3rd - June 30th, 2023

Watching the Detective - Nathan Slate Joseph paints like a sculptor and makes sculptures like a painter. In this sense, his coterie could include Alberto Giacometti and John Chamberlain. Joseph's paintings occupy more space than a conventional work with heavily pigmented surfaces on galvanized steel that have a gritty and fleshy earnestness. The sculptures read like facades and require the labor-intensive patience of a bricklayer. Joseph often delineates each smaller rectangle with seams or stitching underscoring a larger grid/pattern that create a flickering light challenging the mathematical certainty of some of his Minimalist predecessors. The energy builds on the surface, weaving imperfectly across each work.

Paul Davis (b. 1938) "Most of these works have been private, done to refresh and create surprise for myself. I try to empty my mind, put down a line, see what it suggests, and go from there, experimenting with techniques and process. In their making, I learn a lot.”

~Paul Davis 

Paul Davis is known for his iconic images for posters, theaters, and museums. Kurt Vonnegut praised Davis’ work as “theater itself.”

In 1968 he was invited by Galerie Delpire in Paris to have his first solo exhibition of paintings, and in 1977, Gilles deBure, curator of the Galerie d'Actualité in the Centre Georges Pompidou, presented a solo exhibition of Davis's work as part of the museum's opening festivities. His distinctive paintings and posters for advertising, publishing and entertainment have been the subject of museum and gallery exhibitions throughout Japan, Italy, and cities around the U.S.

MASTER STROKES ~

Exhibition Dates: March 11/April 8th 2023
SCULPTURE, PAINTING

William Harrington is complicated. 

His collages have meaning style and weight, all expressing his PTSD: His point of view. 

John MacWhinnie is the polar opposite, working to minimize the story in order to tell it all. His career has the typical turmoil of great artistic genius. Every piece is furthering his investigation into space subject and color.

Both achieve their goals with master strokes.
