GROUP SHOW

During February, George Adams Gallery will offer an overview of the gallery's eclectic programming with a group exhibition of new and vintage works. Artists in the exhibition include Robert Arneson, James Barsness, Jack Beal, Jose Bedia, Joan Brown, Yoan Capote, Enrique Chagoya, Roy DeForest, Lesley Dill, Diane Edison, Andrew Lenaghan, James McGarrell, Peter Saul, Joyce Treiman, James Valerio, HC Westermann and Sandy Winters.  The show will also introduce the work of three artists new to the gallery roster: Michael Ferris, Amer Kobaslija, and Gabriela Trzebinski.  

Highlights include new paintings by James Barsness, Andrew Lenaghan, and Sandy Winters, a new sculpture by Yoan Capote, a new fabric work by Lesley Dill, and a black and white portrait drawing by Diane Edison. Other works in the exhibition include a 1981 Arneson bronze and ceramic self-portrait, Jack Beal's large oil study for his MTA mural at Times Square, Jose Bedia?s "El otro llado," a five-part painting from 1992, and Joan Brown?s "Smoker," a cardboard cutout from 1973. Chagoya will be represented by "Double Agent," one of his large charcoal drawings from 1989, Saul by a study for his 1992 portrait of Jeffrey Dahmer, and DeForest  by  a large-scale canvas from 1978.

The exhibition will also debut the work of three new artists: Michael Ferris's three-dimensional portrait busts in wood marquetry; Amer Kobaslija's paintings of his studio; and Gabriela Trzebinski's oils depicting aspects of life in East Africa.
