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

SUMMARY:Neverne Covington: Into the Mystic Opening Night
DESCRIPTION:Opening Reception: July 11th\, 5pm to 8pm \nContinuing a tradition at the Morean\, we are proud to present last year’s Margaret Murphy Steward Best of Show winner\, Neverne Covington. In addition to a cash prize\, the winning artist receives a solo show in our gallery to coincide with the following year’s members show. Neverne is the 14th artist to receive this opportunity. \nAbout Neverne: \nNeverne Covington’s drawings\, prints\, paintings and sculpture explore childhood\, language\, landscape\, memory\, and the gothic south. Her work has been exhibited at the Tampa Museum of Art\, the Brevard Museum of Art\, the State Capital\, the Florida Museum for Women Artists in Deland\, Florida and various venues throughout Florida\, Georgia and Alabama. \n​​She recently returned from an artist residency at the VCCA Moulin a Nef in Auvillar\, France. Covington was born in Laurelton\, New York\, grew up in Florida\, and attended City & Guilds College in London\, England. She graduated from Eckerd College and has maintained her studio in downtown Saint Petersburg for three decades. \nArtist Statement: \nI use oil paint\, oil sticks and wax on canvas to create my work. I start with small intimate studies and expand to larger works\, often executing several paintings at the same time. I look for the dialogue as my paintings speak to one another. Using progressive layers and glazes\, some transparent\, some thick and opaque\, each brushstroke or mark becomes the topography of the surface. Each layer informs the next. \nDirect observation and immersion in the natural world\, informs my work and determines its themes: permanence\, impermanence\, and transience. My paintings discover the tangible and intangible forces that form matter from which our being and our very nature emerge. \nRhythm\, pattern\, and repetition dictate my process and the direction each work will take. The viscosity and consistency of the mediums enhance the work as I smear\, drag\, rub to create volume and form. The oil sticks\, paint\, and wax\, combined with the shimmering transparent glazes\, produce depth. The history of painting\, and my study of it\, informs each mark I make. \nPainting makes me pay attention. It entices me into the mystery of nature and the landscape of memory. It is a way of bringing order to the world I know and to the preconscious world of which I know so little. I am fascinated with what came before us\, with humankind’s relationship to our living\, breathing world. In my work I strive to reveal nature’s known\, unknown and unknowable entities. It is my humble hope that audience will respond to these resonances.
