SUMMARY:Peonies in Winter: The Long-awaited Works of Nate Jessup
DESCRIPTION:In the mid 1960s\, Nate Jessup earned two Ivy League art degrees\, fully intending to become a practicing professional artist. But the life of a New York gallery artist at the time seemed to him to be at odds with the very act of creating\, so he walked away\, earning his living by other means while he painted in relative obscurity to satisfy his own artistic vision. \nFans of abstract expressionism and the New York School will particularly enjoy this exhibition\, which includes dynamic abstracted figuration highly suggestive of Willem de Kooning\, exquisitely quiet color field works reminiscent of Clyfford Still\, and more. \nNow 83 and still actively painting\, Jessup’s first real gallery exhibition features an exquisite selection of masterful works that span decades of artistic expression and longing.

SUMMARY:JOYLAND: Benaiah Cusack Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:On view: July 3 – August 8 \nMeet the artist/reception: July 11\, 5pm to 8pm \nJoyland is a state of mind guided by wonder and curiosity through the creative process of art making. Inspired by imaginary coastal spaces\, ocean light\, rhythmic movement\, tropical color\, the energy of street art\, and a hint of the cosmic\, this body of work explores environments that feel both vibrant and introspective. Layered surfaces\, fluid forms\, and bold color interactions create an atmosphere that moves between dreamscape and memory—places that do not exist\, yet feel familiar. The work balances playfulness with reflection\, inviting moments of connection\, engagement\, and emotional escape. \nThrough Joyland\, viewers are invited into a vivid world where imagination\, energy and emotion converge—a space that rekindles wonder and joy. \nBenaiah Cusack is an abstract landscape and mixed-media painter working in acrylic\, ink\, graphite\, and collage. His practice explores color\, gesture\, and layered composition\, shifting between structure and spontaneity to build surfaces shaped through an intuitive process. Based in St. Petersburg\, Florida\, his work draws from coastal environments\, street art and mural culture\, atmospheric light\, and rhythmic movement\, translating fragments of observation into painted works. Through processes of\nbuilding\, obscuring\, and reworking\, he develops imagery defined by form\, flow\, and visual rhythm. \nRather than depicting specific locations\, Cusack’s paintings move between imagined terrain\, instinct\, and sensory experience\, inviting viewers into immersive spaces shaped by color\, radiance\, and abstraction. \nHOME | bcusackart.com
