FINE ART CONVERSATIONS/ FIVE ARTISTS - THE CONVERSATION CONTINUES | SHOW EXTENDED THROUGH DECEMBER 30, 2023

The exhibit conversation continues: “In this grouping, one sees Robert Melee’s abstracted works that include unconventional mediums offering inspired commentary regarding the era of his youth, sitting cozily next to colorist Miriam Beerman’s figurative expressionist paintings, which show how life’s darkness can be defeated with prismatic light,” Yarosh says. “Meanwhile, Sheba Sharrow’s humanist paintings become more beautiful the more difficult the subject matter. These content-charged and masterfully painted pieces by Beerman and Sharrow illustrate why we need to re-examine female artists of the 20th century.



“In a separate dialogue, works by Iliya Mirochnik — a romantic painter who is grounded in academic traditions but remains contemporary in his storytelling — are seen in a new light when juxtaposed with those by Vjachaslav Zabelin, who is considered the father of Russian Impressionism and whose work captures the light and quiet spaces between subject and artist,” Yarosh continues. “The diversity of the artwork curated together creates an exciting cacophony of color and the result within the gallery walls becomes that of pure joy.”
