    Kevin Lowenthal

    Kevin Lowenthal (b. 1994, Philadelphia) lives and works in New York, NY. Lowenthal received a BFA from Maryland Institute College of Art. His work employs the use of techniques from weaving, papermaking, and painting: he laminates the canvas with cotton fibers to build a ground on which to makes the paintings. Stages, curtains, and mannequins are spotlighted in their relationship to an index universal alchemy. Recent solo exhibitions were with Derek Eller, New York, NY; 243 Luz in Margate, UK, as well as at the Material Art Fair in Mexico City. Recent group exhibitions include Brigitte Mulholland, Paris, France; Anton Kern Gallery, New York, NY; and Ruby/Dakota, New York, NY.

    Chason Matthams

    Chason Matthams' focus is on capturing the ephemeral experience of consciousness and pointing to its fragmentary nature. While at first glance his paintings seem to be contemplative experiments in mimesis, prolonged looking reveals threatening undertones. Matthams’ employs specific combinations of colors, angles of perspective, and exhaustive detail to anthropomorphize each of his subjects, rendering them just barely sinister. Flitting between mechanical and organic objects, Matthams’ exacting brushwork is the connective thread leading our eye through every sumptuous detail. Matthams graduated with a BFA in Fine Art from New York University in 2004 and an MFA from New York University in 2012. Previous solo and two person exhibitions include Agape in the Spectrum, Magenta Plains, New York, NY (2024); Independent New York with Stan VanDerBeek, Magenta Plains, New York, NY (2023), Glimpse, Magenta Plains, New York, NY (2022); A Hell for Rainbows, Thierry Goldberg Gallery, New York, NY (2019); Tyler Wood Gallery, San Francisco, CA (2019, 2013); and Advances, None Miraculous, Thierry Goldberg Gallery, New York, NY (2015).

    Lucia Love

    Lucia Love’s visually rich paintings are loaded with references to art history, mythology, politics, and the dynamics of power. By layering these references, contemporary allegories emerge, pushing each piece into the realm of idea painting.  Their idiosyncratic paintings have appeared at Cue Foundation, Giovanni’s Room, Sargent’s Daughters, The Hole, JDJ, and others. Their work has been included in The Bunker Artspace of Beth Rudin DeWoody, and the Xiao Museum collection in Rizhao City China.

    Mary Laube

    Mary Laube's work is fundamentally concerned with the contradictory nature of pictorial space, as it carries the promise of spatial expansion: an implied horizon with the illusion of spatial possibility. Yet, the physical surface of a painting agitates this illusion, as it asserts its truth as a flat surface. Within this plane her work antagonizes our relationship to culture, and the fraught process of defining it. Recent exhibitions include Morgan Lehman Gallery (NYC), the Knoxville Museum of Art, and Groundfloor Contemporary (Birmingham) among others.
