The Glimmer of a Day in the Sun: Gregory Hennen
This is Gregory Hennen's third solo exhibition with Kenise Barnes Fine Art.
This is his first show since relocating to Virginia from the Hudson Valley, a location that had strongly informed his landscapes.
The organization of space, essentiality of color, and quality of light are of utmost importance to Hennen. Rather than depicting the natural world in its exactness, the artist's work reflects what he sees and how feels over time. The work is developed from several small drawings done in nature.
"Each piece is about a landscape, not of a landscape as it does not necessarily depict an exact site or location. Finished paintings are often composites of several images that have evolved from a realistic portrayal to a more simplistic interpretation. I paint to express my love and respect for nature and to cultivate those feelings in others." - Gregory Hennen

Carl Ferrero, Mantra, 2010, watercolor on paper, 72 x 51 inches (unframed)Cool and Collected: The hot and cool art from a new crop of Brooklyn artists.
For a decade Brooklyn, has been a magnet for young artists. In the beginning, they came for the cheap and plentiful studio spaces. Now the vibrant gallery and alternative art scene roots them. From Williamsburg to Bushwick, Brooklyn is populated with artists, hipsters and savvy collectors.
But...
It is summer in Westchester, and this gallerist has no desire to schedule any studio visits in the steamy outer boroughs. So we have shipped an exciting offering of fresh new work out of the artists' studios and up to leafy Larchmont and the air-conditioned gallery!
Come on in and have a look. Find something fresh and affordable, and watch a young career grow.
Artists: Julia Whitney Barnes, Ernest Concepcion, Daddy (Artists Collective), Maj Anya DeBear, Carl Ferrero, Scott Goodman, Sarah Hardesty, Michelle Hinebrook, Christine Lebeck, Amy Lincoln, Rebecca Litt, Rebecca Simon.

Cheryle St. Onge and Joni Sternbach: Photographs
click photo for images of works in exhibition
Kenise Barnes Fine Art is pleased to present the work of two extraordinary photographers. Joni Sternbach with her sixth exhibition in this gallery and introducing Cheryle St. Onge to our photography program.
Joni Sternbach’s large format wooden camera and portable darkroom create a sensation on beaches on both the East and West Coasts. The historic process of collodion photography finds unlikely but graceful footing in the contemporary arena of surf culture. Serendipitous in nature, Sternbach’s photographs are the result of random meetings and chance encounters with surfers. The resulting portrait is a stunning and almost mythic depiction of man and nature, history and the cult of surfing. Sternbach’s most recent series, SurfLand received wide spread critical attention. Her solo museum show; Surfland, at the Peabody Essex Museum in 2009 was highly acclaimed. She was the 2008 winner of the coveted Photolucida Critical Mass Award and they published a monograph of her work. Articles about Sternbach and her technique have appeared in Surfer’s Journal, View Camera Magazine, PDN and Esquire (Russia), to name a few. Her work is in the collections of many museums such as Museum of Fine Arts Houston and Smithsonian Natural Museum of American History as well as numerous public and private collections. Sternbach teaches at International Center for Photography. The artist lives in Brooklyn, NY.

Cheryle St. Onge is a 2009 John Simon Guggenheim Fellowship recipient in photography. This is her debut exhibition with a New York Gallery. St. Onge cites making pictures with a view camera, as the pivotal point where she discovered her passion. Her art is intensely observant and deeply respectful of the natural world, focusing on a detail, a tadpole, an eel or gosling and expanding that to encompass one’s entire horizon. Creating worlds within her worlds, in a play of earth science like identification and one’s own childhood memory of natural findings. Her photographs have been widely exhibited, most notably at Princeton University, University of Rhode Island, Massachusetts College of Art, Center for Maine Contemporary Art, and in an American Institute of Architects traveling exhibition. Her work has been included in four books. St. Onge received a M.F.A. from Massachusetts College of Art. For over a decade, she taught photography at Clark University and presently is on faculty at Maine College of Art. She divides her time between Durham, NH and coastal Maine.
Special Event: June 17, 7 PM Joni Sternbach will give a visual presentation and speak about her work and her process. Space is limited and reservations are required. The event is free. Please contact the gallery for images of the work or to arrange a preview.
Click on detail view to see installation.Accompanying the exhibition is a glass sculpture installation by artist David Licata. Hundreds of delicate, intricately-interwoven glass loops, hand-formed from Pyrex rods and carefully installed by the artist, grace the front window of the gallery. The loops play with the morning sunlight, and form a serene backdrop to the photo exhibition.
Please contact the gallery for information on commissioned works.

David Collins, On Approach, 2010, oil and acrylic on linen, 46 x 70 inchesIn Bound: New Paintings by David Collins
Artist's Statement: I am interested in the way we navigate our lives and our world. Our environment and experiences imprint on us spatial memories, and like all memories they are either embellished or fade and fall apart. Being interested in the visual languages of flight and architecture, my recollections of places such as homes, airports, and construction sites, play a major role informing my imagery.
In my paintings the viewer is lead through a complex space of geometric planes and color. Structures begin to assemble into familiar forms while at the same time they are expanding and fragmenting. Points of view shift while spatial contradiction suggests other possibilities. Despite this unsettling effect, the viewer’s eye ultimately comes to rest as the paintings achieve balance and stillness.

March 7 - March 28, 2009: The "O" Show
Click above for photos of The "O!" ShowThe O! Show asks the question, "What makes you go "O!"? -- Is it discovery? Inspiration? Connection? Although the exhibition was born out of a desire to capture the powerful and positive emotions unleashed by the recent U.S. elections, The "O!" Show veers away from overt political statements, instead focusing on the content and substance found in the feelings of optimism, enthusiasm and buoyancy. The artists chosen exemplify how this expansiveness of human thought and feeling can be channeled in ways that inspire and invigorate. Each of the artists invites us to bask in the imagery, color and emotional content of their work. Collectively, this show is an invitation to surrender to a tsunami of color, movement, emotion -- and hopefully feelings of inspiration and optimism.
Curated by Katarina Wong and Kenise Barnes, with works from Josette Urso, Katarina Wong, Susan Chrysler-White, Beth Dary, Jonathan Allen, Hovey Brock and Andra Samelson.
