Wayne Gonzales is a self-described analytic painter. His work addresses the pliancy of photography and its relationship to history and memory. He culls source images online and from his personal collection, and dissects them to understand the various physical and emotional layers within before reassembling their valued parts on canvas.
Amy Feldman creates seemingly simple, large-scale gray abstractions notable for their visual impact and droll sense of humor. She explores how images and signs are perceived and distilled, and then draws attention to humanness in her work through its iconic language and subtle variation.
Cheryl Donegan is an American conceptual artist especially known for her video works that address issues of art politics, particularly the clichés of the female body. At the invitation of Jim Richard, Donegan presents two videos, Head (1993) and Lieder (2000), both exercises in role-playing and exposure.
Darn That Dream is Jim Richard’s ninth exhibition with the gallery. Featured are small- to large-scale works rendered in Flashe, oil and gouache, on canvas, linen and paper. The works, created over the last few years, continue the artist’s remarkable series of paintings that depict high style domestic interiors flecked with period furniture, kitsch objects, and works of art usually with a modernist flavor.
The New York artist Cheryl Donegan exhibits pacesetting works at the New Museum spanning twenty-three years.

At his new exhibition “From a Distance,” which opened on Saturday, January 9, Gene Koss unveiled a wide range of mixed-media work. The new glass-and-metal works at Arthur Roger Gallery in downtown New Orleans reference two very different environments — the majestic rural landscape of Wisconsin farmland where Koss grew up, and the more vulnerable Mississippi River Delta ecosystem, where man-made engineering vies with the unruly river and gulf waters that are held at bay, imperfectly, through an elaborate system of levees and dams.
