Yes Gallery is proud to present” Organic Lust” an exhibition featuring works by Kenneth Ian, curated by Lesley Doukhowetzky.
Kenneth Ian depicts organic forms which naturally blend together to create patterns
replicating nature’s perfection. Ian’s trust in the earths energy is evident when viewing
his paintings which seem to have an energy of their own. It is as if the direction of the
paint is predetermined on its own path, meandering like water or flowing like lava.
Kenneth’s use of rich colors is just what one would expect to see in forces of nature.
When you can not be surrounded by live nature, one might lust over being exposed to
Ian’s organic art.

Yes Gallery is proud to present “Concrete Garden” an exhibition featuring works by Nicole Handel curated by Lesley Doukhowetzky. Please join us for a reception on Friday October 14th 2011 from 7-10pm.

Nichole Handel’s work is concerned with the interface between childhood fantasy and everyday reality.  Her understanding reflects a rapport that is animated by an approach to culture and urban settings that represent a technical sensibility rather than advancing particular ideology.

Raised in New England but now resides in Brooklyn for the past ten years,  Nicole superimposes her inclination toward the pastoral over the spatial constraints of her current geography. She traces watercolor images in an asymmetrical, irregular fashion to signify her impetus to instill restraint over disorder as well as frame the artist’s struggle to embrace the organic while generating something novel. Nichole’s work depicts flowers and fish emerging through concrete architecture and every day city views creating a Concrete Garden.

Yes Gallery is proud to present “In Layers” an exhibition featuring works by Thomas Bevan, Soo Im Lee, and Margie Neuhaus, curated by Lesley Doukhowetzky.

Please join us for a reception on Friday August 5th, 2011 from 7-10pm.  In Layers shows a variety of work depicting layers of all different mediums from water color and ink to vellum string and fabric. Soo Im Lee paints people mingling through dense layers of words while Thomas Bevan’s sculptures have objects that are beautifully wrapped in many layers of colorful fabrics.  Margie Neauhau’s sculptures and works on paper elicit magical and unsettling feelings of transit through unfamiliar worlds, allowing viewers to imagine what is under the surface, to assist our understanding of the world, and to see inside the layers and be within.
