Andrew Brischler
Andrew Brischler (b.1987) makes paintings and drawings that explore queer identity through the lens of American popular culture.
After sifting through his vast library of source material of vintage movie posters, pulp fiction book covers, and queer ephemera, Brischler laboriously reinterprets this imagery by hand. His approach is one that relishes in the outsized influence that media and pop culture have on our visual landscape and collective cultural psyche.
Brischler received a BFA in Painting from the State University of New York at New Paltz and an MFA from the School of Visual Arts, New York, NY. He was the recipient of the New York Foundation for the Arts Fellowship in Painting in 2015 and the Rema Hort Mann Foundation Visual Arts Grant in 2013. Most recently, he mounted a solo presentation with GAVLAK at The Independent Art Fair in May, 2024. Previously, he had solo exhibitions with GAVLAK in Palm Beach, FL, and Los Angeles, CA; at The Fireplace Project, East Hampton, NY; at The Arts Club, London; and at 39 Great Jones, New York, NY.

Bianca Fields
Bianca Fields (b. 1995) creates figurative paintings that often depict feminized primates as allegorical stand-ins for the self.
Born in Cleveland, Fields’ work highly renders a candid mix of her vigilant portrayed primates, utilizing her feminized beasts as formidable stand-ins for an imagined self. Painting wet-in-wet directly into the mouths of her subjects, she creates allegories of ritual and beauty under the beholding of the misogynoir, seeking to investigate the vicious cycle of emotional truths, abstract sense of self, and violence.
Fields lives and works in Boston, MA. Her work has been showcased in the Armory Show with Steve Turner LA, Ruttkowski; 68 Paris, L21 Gallery Spain, Frieze Art Fair London with Carl Freedman Gallery, and the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art in Kansas City.

Celeste Falzone
Celeste Diaz Falzone (b. 1998) is a self-taught interdisciplinary artist whose practice spans textiles and mixed media.
Falzone reflects on spirituality, culture, and consciousness through the lens of memory and family lineage. Incorporating fabric, stitching, and layered textures, Falzone archives and reconfigures both personal and collective experience. Guided by dreams, grief, and storytelling, her practice often draws on sacred geometry, healing modalities, and textile traditions.
Falzone, born in Dallas, TX, to Colombian mother and American father, lives and works in Pawtucket, RI. An offload of refracted memories, misinterpreted visions and emotions made into entities, her work reflects vast ideas that touch on consciousness, point-of-view, emotion, behavior, and life experience boiled into visual form.

Dakota Gearhart
Dakota Gearhart (b. 1983) explores the tensions between the environment, techno-commercialism, and human desire in the face of accelerating climate change.
Working across multimedia sculpture and installation, Gearhart uses site-specific repurposed materials and science-fiction storytelling to challenge hierarchies of class, gender, and species. Her recent works incorporate video, collage, and synthetic textures to simulate artificial ecosystems and interrogate digital hyperreality. Gearhart’s process often includes experimental animation, set design, and participatory performance, creating immersive environments that question the boundaries between the natural and the fabricated.
Gearhart is a New York-based visual artist born in Arizona, raised in Florida, and educated in the Pacific Northwest. Her work has been exhibited, screened, and presented at the New Museum, Bronx Museum, Queens Museum, St. Petersburg Museum of Fine Arts, Tacoma Art Museum, Oregon Contemporary Art Center, Northwest Film Forum, and International House of Japan, among others.

Deborah Bright
Deborah Bright (b. 1950), a writer and photographer, returned to painting and drawing to express thoughts, memories and feelings that have few analogs in the physical world. Her drawings and paintings mine an eclectic mix of queer, pop, psychedelic and text-based sources, charged by vivid colors and dynamic compositions where naturalistically rendered forms intertwine with abstract shapes and symbols.
Bright lives and works in Brooklyn, NY. She received her MFA in painting from the University of Chicago in 1975. After a 35-year career as a photographer, educator and writer on photography and cultural issues, she returned to her roots in drawing and painting. Her fragmented and supercharged works reflect our turbulent and divided world where angry rants overwhelm voices of reason and where cynicism assaults our faith in ideals. Yet the unrestrained joy evident in many of these works reflects my belief that amid all the pain, despair and fear, we must relish beauty where we find it, assert our capacity for love, and continue to hope for better things no matter what.
Her work has been exhibited at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago; Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston; Fogg Museum, Harvard; Addison Gallery of American Art; Katonah Museum of Art; Leslie-Lohman Museum; Victoria and Albert Museum; the Museet for Fotokunst, Copenhagen; Nederlands Foto Instituut, Rotterdam; Museum Folkwang, Essen; Canadian Museum of Contemporary Photography and the Vancouver Art Gallery; and included in the permanent collections of the Whitney Museum; National Museum of American Art; Addison Gallery of American Art; Fogg Art Museum; Leslie-Lohman Museum, Boston Athenaeum, Rose Art Museum; California Museum of Photography and the RISD Museum. She has received numerous grants and awards for her art and critical writing and edited a noted book on queer photography, The Passionate Camera: photography and bodies of desire.

Donald Perlis
Donald Perlis (b. 1941) works in oils, eschews photography as reference, and utilizes a continual space based on perception and imagination. Perlis’s oeuvre encompasses landscapes, portraits, and expansive complex multi-figured narrative compositions, and draws from a diverse range of inspiration, encompassing opera, classic literature, and mythology.
Perlis’s career spans decades. He was the youngest member of an artistic group reviving representational painting in the 1960s that included Philip Pearlstein, Al Leslie, Jack Beal, William Baily, Paul Georges, and Lennart Anderson. Perlis worked as an assistant to painter and filmmaker Alfred Leslie prior to his debut exhibition at the landmark Whitney Museum show, 22 Realists, chosen by Marcia Tucker and curated by James Monte. Following the show’s success, Perlis became the youngest artist to show at Graham Gallery. Since then, he has held over twenty solo exhibitions in New York, as well as dozens of group shows in the U.S. and abroad, including at the National Academy of Design, the American Academy of Arts and Letters, the Queens Museum, and the Cleveland Museum of Art. Perlis’s work is distinguished by the use of traditional techniques.
At age 40, Perlis began making his first works dealing with contemporary social issues. In 2020, Floyd, his painting depicting the death of George Floyd, was exhibited on billboards in major cities across the U.S., including in Times Square. Perlis’s contributions to the art world have garnered extensive acclaim, with coverage in leading art magazines and prominent publications including The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, The Hill, and The Guardian. Perlis has taught art for over four decades, as a professor at the Fashion Institute of Technology and previously at Pratt Institute. A lifelong New Yorker, he was born and raised in the Bronx and currently works and resides in Brooklyn.

Eva Davidova
Eva Davidova (b. 1969) explores behavior, ecological disaster, and the social implications of technology through performative works rooted in the absurd.
Spanning performance, drawing, virtual reality, and interactive installation, Davidova’s practice often mis-uses technologies and embraces their failure as a site for expressive potential. Davidova addresses themes of human agency, responsibility, and cross-species kinship. Her work invites viewers into unpredictable, often surreal environments that challenge dominant systems of control, perception, and power.
Davidova has exhibited at the Bronx Museum, the UVP at Everson Museum, the AKG Buffalo Art Museum, MACBA Barcelona, CAAC Sevilla and La Regenta among others. Her latest solo exhibitions were at ISSUE Project Room, Harvestworks, ONX, the Instituto Cervantes, CultureHub, and Museum of the Moving Image (MoMI) in New York.

Ivana Dama
Ivana Dama’s (b. 1995) work includes audio-video installations, robotics, web projects, and music performances, and explores the deep connections between sound, memory, and human experience.
Dama was born and raised in Belgrade shortly after the end of the civil war and during the time of NATO bombing. The tension between the former Yugoslavian countries was still undoubtedly present. Even though she was only a young child when the bombing began, images and sounds of the destruction still clearly permeate her mind. The memories of living in a small shelter with the sounds and vibrations of the air raid sirens have contributed to her interest in using air and sound as a primary medium.
Dama received her BFA from the University of California Los Angeles, Los Angeles, CA (2021) and her MFA from Yale, New Haven, CT (2024).

Jake Troyli
Jake Troyli (b. 1990) creates energetic paintings that examine spectacle, commodification, and the construction of performance and identity. Working in a classicist style, his exaggerated, elasticized figures often symbolize the pressures of code-switching and the blurred line between subject and object. Troyli uses theatrical scene-setting to explore identity, value, and representation, using exaggerated perspective and slapstick humor to destabilize institutional narratives of belonging and success.
His solo exhibitions include Monique Meloche, Chicago, IL; Tempus Projects, Tampa, FL; and ArtsXchange, Saint Petersburg, FL. Troyli’s work has been featured in group exhibitions at Perrotin Gallery, New York, NY; Galerie Droste, Düsseldorf, DE; Milwaukee Art Museum, Milwaukee, WI; Everson Museum, Syracuse, NY; Galerie Droste, Paris, FR; The Ringling Museum, Sarasota, FL; Contemporary Art Museum, Tampa, FL; San Francisco Art Institute, CA.

Jason Karolak
Jason Karolak (b. 1974) creates abstract, geometric paintings informed by architecture, music, color phenomena, and screen technologies. Karolak’s practice serves to process experiences from his environment, drawing on the vernacular of objects and design he encounters. This research extends to utopian architecture, communal societies, musical structures, and color phenomena. His layered brushwork and color palettes organize color into floating, illuminated structures that suggest imagined or speculative architectures set within projected spaces.
Karolak earned a BFA from Pratt Institute, Brooklyn, NY and an MFA from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago, IL. He lives and works in Brooklyn, NY.
Recent solo exhibitions include Grölle Galerie, Düsseldorf, Germany; Morgan Lehman Gallery, New York, NY; David Shelton Gallery, Houston, TX; and the Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art, Boulder, CO.

Jennifer Sirey
Jennifer Sirey (b. 1966) builds living sculptures in collaboration with acetobacter fermentation cultures, merging architecture and biology. Her microbial forms, often referred to as living architectures, explore cycles of growth and decay and the porous boundaries between living systems and human design. These tensions align with Sirey's interest in phenomenology, and how her chosen materials act, change, and reveal themselves under controlled conditions.
A 2024 Guggenheim Fellow and holds a BFA from The School of Visual Arts, Sirey’s sculptures are included in the permanent collection of the Georgia Museum of Art in Athens, GA, and The Anderson Museum of Contemporary Art in Roswell, New Mexico.

Natalie Collette Wood
Natalie Collette Wood (b. 1982) is a multidisciplinary artist whose work explores the intersection of nature, memory, and the built environment through sculpture, installation, and collage.
Wood incorporates organic materials such as moss, flowers, and found objects into her hand-constructed forms, blending traditional craft with contemporary environmental themes. Her tactile process—layering natural elements with cast forms, digital prints, and recycled materials, produces immersive environments that invite viewers to reflect on cycles of growth, decay, and renewal. By integrating the ephemeral and the enduring, Wood creates spaces that ask how we inhabit and shape the world around us.
Wood has exhibited at Sugar Hill Museum (2025). She has had solo exhibitions at Freight + Volume Gallery, Andrew Freedman Home, and Montefiore Gallery.

Ohan Breiding (b. 1981) is an artist and filmmaker whose work addresses ecological care through a trans-feminist lens. Working across photography, film, drawing, and collaboration, Breiding focuses on landscapes as witnesses to environmental change. Breiding’s projects often center queer communities and more than humans, destabilizing the nature/culture binary and asking how collective care can extend to the natural world.

Tracy Miller
Tracy Miller (b. 1966) creates dense, colorful still lifes that combine landscapes, food, and consumer culture into layered compositions. Miller’s vibrant paintings explore themes of overconsumption, feminist critique, and the uneasy beauty of visual abundance. Built up in thick oil paint, her compositions embrace texture and excess, blurring the line between attraction and overload. She invites viewers to sit with the tension between indulgence and critique.
Using a combination of Old Master underpainting, drafting techniques, and the openness of folk-art compositions, Miller’s forms gel and coagulate, yet seem to remain in perpetual motion. Her flat application of paint and dramatic scale shifts add to the disquieting spatial uncertainty and allow each element to hover over inky and amorphous accumulations of saturated color. These visual feasts present an aggressive underbelly of overconsumption, resentment, and feminist themes, never quite providing nourishment or satisfying the true cravings they awaken.
Her paintings and drawings have been featured in numerous solo and group exhibitions including Feature Inc., NYC; the American University Museum, Washington DC; Miles McEnery Gallery, NYC; Derek Eller Gallery, NYC; Mrs. Gallery, Maspeth, NY; CMCA, Rockland, ME; Philip Slein Gallery, St. Louis, MO; Rhona Hoffman Gallery, Chicago, IL. She is the recipient of the Guggenheim Foundation Fellowship; three Pollock-Krasner Awards; the Rutsch Award; the Hassam, Speicher, Betts and Symons Purchase Funds through the American Academy of Arts and Letters; a NYFA award; the Marie Walsh Sharpe Art Foundation Space Grant; the Elizabeth Foundation Award. Her work is included in the collections of the Baltimore Museum of Art, Clifford Chance, Daum Museum of Contemporary Art, Des Moines Art Center, Deutsche Bank, SEI/West Family Collection, and the Tang Teaching Museum. She lives and works in Brooklyn, NY.
The Brooklyn-based painter and drawer received her BFA from the University of Iowa, Iowa City, IA (1989) and her MFA from the University of California at Berkeley (1993). She also attended the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in 1992.
