Gallery Henoch Presents a Spotlight on Artists John Evans and Steve Smulka

John Evans' solo exhibition is now in its first week. For this we highlight two paintings, Smelling the Moon In Your Perfume and No Frogs In Sight. We see the artistic process at work as Evans explores a single composition in successive canvases. As a prime example, the imagery for the canvas No Frogs in Sight is derived from a section seen at the top of Smelling the Moon in Your Perfume. By zooming in on an area Evans reinvents the composition and creates a show full of unexpected surprises.

The show runs through March 28th. Come see the work for yourself at the gallery.

The four glass vessels that come together in Steve Smulka's painting Nimbus sit before an awe inspiring sky. The clouds in particular are a direct nod to the master works by El Greco. These clouds harbor a distant hostility, filling the piece with a dramatic tension just as in El Greco's most famous works View of Toledo (1596-1600) and The Opening Of The Fifth Seal (1608-1612).

Nimbus is now on view at Gallery Henoch in the lower gallery. For more information on Steve Smulka, please contact the gallery.
