Reverberation
The Works of
Juan Sanchez-Juarez
Mark Blanchette
Byrce Lankard
Henry Gregg Gallery continues its tradition of showing exceptional master works with "Reverberation," a group show that explores the tension between the ephemeral body and echoes the eternal spirit. The show also explores what endures the passage of time, with photographs to show its stillness and paintings to show the fluidity of its passage. Both mediums are often used for portraiture, drawing attention to the personal nature of the show's theme.

- New York Landscapes the Photos of Robert Herman
The series of images presented in this show recount the years of New York streetscapes. Capturing the spirit of the neighborhoods of New York, seemingly mundane, everyday moments become powerful, iconic images.
Soho reflected in a coffee shop window of an antique car. Mirrored in puddles, the streets of Williamsburg are transformed into a poignant, painterly photographs of beauty, texture, and solitude.
Born in Brooklyn, Robert is a consumate New York artist, having shown in galleries throughout the US. He has shown at The Museum of Modern Art and his work is in the collection of the esteemed George Eastman House in Rochester, NY.
Robert is currently working on a book project '1981: A Year In New York.
This show will be on exhibit in Rome and in the US at the same time !
- Immaterial- The Works of Sam Clayton
Artist Sam Clayton lives in two worlds. One is the external world of physical objects and the other is the internal world of experience and transcendence. His work explores the areas in which these two worlds overlap, collide and balance each other. His multi-media collages add a bright and insightful addition to New York City's fall shows.
Clayton draws on disparate styles and mediums in his attempts to unify these two different aspects of human existence. Very much a polymath, Clayton assembles elements created in charcoal, ink, gouache, watercolor and acrylic. The artist leaves this process open-ended, attempting to give the viewer "a kind of Rorshach moment." Each journey through genre arrives at an underlying truth, and Clayton allows the viewer to determine exactly what that truth is.
Clayton uses the body as a surface upon which to explore the nature of this truth. In nearly all the works on show, internal experience is both enacted and projected on the human form. Plumbing the depths by limning the surface, the artist explores the dualism of the external world and internal experience. Some works are of images that have been ripped apart and reassembled anew to reveal the tension between seen and unseen topographies.
Aptly, Clayton cleaves in two the abstract portraits of the Fifties.
Rather than rendering the subject in an abstract idiom, Clayton has rendered his figures in gripping realism, only to add to the frame abstract elements consisting of organic splatters and geometric lines.
These splatters incorporate the notions of movement and the element of time, inviting a narrative interpretation. Each work is a frozen record, a snapshot of both a body and a body of thought. While the portraits within each work are often done in the grays and blacks of charcoal, the overlain splatters evince a Pop art color scheme of pastel hues, extending the underlying thematic tension to the formal aspect of color.
Revealing an inner world through the outer one is a herculean task, which the artist unabashedly questions. While he might not have finally arrived in one unified world, each piece is an important step and a confident one at that. For all his attempts to reveal the duality of his own existence, the work and the inspiration seemlessly blend, as the journey of making art is an allegory for the quest to unite distinct halves. The works reassuredly express doubt and demonstrate an awareness of all that remains unknown, creating a paradox apt for simultaneously exploring two worlds that are unreconcilable by their nature.
