I am thrilled to be showing at Galerie Lucida with a group of friends. This exhibition’s theme is based on our get-togethers to paint “the nude in nature.”

Galerie Lucida is pleased to present Periphera, an exhibition of Contemporary Realism by local and regional artists who convene periodically to paint “en plein air,” yet maintain distinct and diverse studio practices.
Periphera upends the widely held view that Contemporary Realism is a static, straightforward depiction of reality by exposing the fluid, expressive nature of the movement.
Participating artists Jordan Baker, Kathleen Beausoleil, Charis J. Carmichael Braun, Brooks Frederick, Kristin Künc, Lisa Lebofsky, JaFang Lu, Richard T. Scott, Hyeseung Song, and Patricia Watwood embrace a common discipline, yet their approach to the medium and interpretations of subject are markedly distinct.
For images and information, please contact Gallery Director, Michael Mazzeo
With the presentation of paintings representative of each artist’s personal vision and inspired use of traditional techniques, along with comparative groupings of small works from their collective excursions, Periphera straddles the porous edge where private space meets common ground and offers a multivalent glimpse into Contemporary Realist imagery.
The show is on view April 19 - June 1. The reception is in conjunction with Garden State Art Weekend.
Opening Reception Friday, April 19, 2024, 6-9 PM
