Representing: Selected Works from Alumni and Faculty of The New York Academy of Art

143 Reade Street, New York, NY 10013

By appointment only

February 8 – March 24, 2019

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Representing:  Selected Works from Alumni and Faculty of The New York Academy of Art at Artisan Lofts

JANUARY 26 – APRIL 24, 2019

Artists’ reception: Tuesday, February 5th, 6 to 8 pm.

 

The New York Academy of Art (NYAA) is a unicorn amongst art schools. Located at 111 Franklin Street, the Academy was founded in the 1980s by a devoted group of artists and patrons, including Andy Warhol, to promote and preserve skills training in drawing, painting, and sculpture. Taking the best of both worlds, it combines this rigorous teaching of foundational and professional skills in figurative art with critical thinking for the development of a strong concept-focused framework.

A pressure cooker of creativity, the Academy produces a level of artistic excellence that can't be beat. The Academy’s teachers, and even the Provost, Peter Drake, are professional, practicing artists that bring a real-world view to the curriculum. Rick Davidman, who long-time TriBeCa residents remember as the owner of DFN Gallery, and Kim Power, art writer, painter and graduate of NYAA (2014), have combined curatorial forces with the assistance of art dealer and advisor Elizabeth Garvey, to provide a sample of just some of the amazing artists that are connected to this prestigious institution. Art works by this selection of 31 artists, both alumni and faculty of the Academy, include a wide range of methodologies: paintings in abstraction, figuration, flora and fauna, and even some sculptural textile pieces. Some are playful and funny, some are mysterious, and some take you to a land of time forgotten and places beyond your imagination. We hope that you enjoy this collection of talent from TriBeCa’s New York Academy of Art and promise there will be more to come!
