George Billis Gallery is pleased to announce Bennett Vadnais and his latest work at the New York location. This exhibition will run from March 17 through April 18, 2020.

The opening reception will be held at the George Billis Gallery located at 525 West 26th Street, Ground floor, between 10th and 11th avenues on Thursday March 19th from 6-8pm.

Bennett Vadnais’ newest work is created from intimate and humble architectural subjects around his neighborhood and home in Baltimore city. The pictures arise from direct observation of the locations that he records via numerous sketches, drawings and colors studies. Referring to them in his studio, Vadnais turns them into pictures through a lengthy process of reflection and distillation. He draws heavily on traditional methods of painting while employing modern materials such as acrylic paint and durable aluminum composite panels. The finished pictures have a complex balance of observed facts, memory and invention. Through these modest structures with their subtle play of light and texture, he finds magic in the mundane.

Current exhibition at the Lounge Lab is the work of our faculty member Ben Dierckx

Born in 1971 in Antwerp, Ben Dierckx is a Belgian artist. After attending the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in his hometown, he studied Cultural Science and Philosophy of Art at the Free University of Brussels, and graduated at the Higher Institute of Fine Arts (HISK) then in Antwerp in 2002. He subsequently migrated to Madrid, Spain, where he developed his practice in electronic arts. Here he produced a series of interactive installations in which he explored the idea of interdependency and consciousness of perception. In 2006 he won the Caja Madrid “Generación” prize. In 2007 Dierckx moved to New York City, where he has been resident at the International Studio and Curatorial Program in Brooklyn in 2009 and Flux Factory in Queens in 2010. Ben Dierckx has exhibited in Belgium, Spain, Hungary, Mexico and the USA. He has curated shows in Mexico City, NYC and Taipei.

“A Brush with Herstory: The Paintings of Gabriela Gonzalez Dellosso”

Gabriela Gonzalez Dellosso is a premier portrait artist whose art historical knowledge is surpassed only by the skill of her brushwork. This exhibition features Dellosso’s tribute paintings to great but often-overlooked female masters of the past.  Looking at women artists from the Renaissance through the modern era, these exquisite academically-rendered paintings are based on in-depth study of artists including Genevieve Estelle Jones, Angelica Kauffman, Sofonisba Anguissola, Remedios Varo, and Sophie Geengembre Anderson. Sadly, these masters have never become mainstream names in the history of art, but they and their stories resonate deeply with Dellosso, who reaffirms their rightful places in art history through her exquisite old master-style paintings.

Gabriela’s Artwork is displayed at:

The Polk Museum of Art at Florida Southern College: December 14 2019-April 12 2020
