Michael Zansky
- New Paintings
March 5-March 28, 2010
Departure, by Michael Zansky
GAGA Arts Center is excited to host the premier exhibit of Michael
Zansky’s new oil paintings. The internationally recognized
artist will hang over thirty canvases-- a radical, tour de force
departure from his acclaimed multi-media Lens Installations.
“The new paintings are snapshots of an alternate reality;
our minds clutch at the jagged cracks of the subliminal cliffs
- our grasp of the real fails, and we fall willingly into the
curious mind of Michael Zansky.” James Tyler-Curator
Gallery Hours: Fridays- 4-8PM, Saturdays 2-6PM and Sundays 12-4PM
Opening Reception: Friday, March 5th, 6pm to 9pm

Salon des Refuses 2K10
March 5-March 28, 2010
In an age of the all-powerful institutional mega-exhibition, the
Gaga Arts Center is pleased to present FICTIONS Salon des Refuses
2K10 (French for “Salon of the Refused’). This experimental
and innovative exhibition includes artists whose work has been
overlooked by the curators of these exhibitions yet warrants critical
attention as the avant-garde. These artists dare to develop new
language in all media that doesn’t fit into neat categories
and boundaries—simply put, their work breaks rules. The
distinguishing element running through all the work in this show
is that fiction is more real than fact-analogous to contemporary
life.
A brief description of two of the artists in this group show is
presented below:
Ezra Talmatch is so New York , so gritty, street smart, east
village that you can’t get any closer to street language
but with such enormous skill that it creates a tension with the
refinement of the Artworks. He has an outrageous amount of artistic
energy whether he is simply drawing, creating dry frescos, massive
construction material environments, or altering prints and virtual
atmospheres. He is constructing and destructing himself at the
same time. These works are so raw and yet so refined. His work
is frighteningly evocative. You’ve never seen dry-frescos
like this before.
Brian Leo is a great colorist and pop-minimalist whose work creates
a surrealist’s sense of dramatic humor. His particular way
of putting colors together is totally unique. The colors are very
unusual, their qualities are irresistibly attractive and beautiful,
Brian has a very good command chromatically. These forms have
no relationship yet they do relate. If Phillip Guston lives--he
lives through this kid.
Gallery Hours: Fridays- 4-8PM, Saturdays 2-6PM and Sundays 12-4PM
Opening Reception: Friday, March 5th, 6pm to 9pm
GAGA Arts Center thanks the Arts Fund of Rockland, a project of
the Arts Council of Rockland, for their generous support.
This project is made possible, in part, with funds from the Community
Arts Grants program of the Arts Council of Rockland and the Decentralization
Program of the New York State Council on the Arts.
