There's a new art gallery in the Parkslope area of Brooklyn: The Townehouse Art Gallery. This gallery is becoming a perfect place to show new artists-and they are flocking to the gallery.
Finally! A gallery that is dedicated to the up & coming artist. In looing to learn more, Esther Nash-the proprieter-sent me someinformation on the many new artists who have shown at the gallery:
Taos New Mexico artist Mieshiel says he has been “living off the grid” for 20 years creating extremely detailed pencil drawings that take him from several weeks to several years to create. The pieces he creates ‘Are the seen and unseen worlds, in which we live in’. For Mieshiel, dreams, visions and our waking realities are all one and the same. The meaning of his drawings cannot be known "until all the pieces come together, he believes "One must look carefully for understanding all the various influences that effect who ware, for we are many selves that make up the whole human being". His work is a must see!
New York based Ms. Lee Milby feels her work centers around movement and time; “I value the process of painting as much as the finished piece, and feel that the act of painting is deeply connected to performance and film. I enjoy using paint for its unique inherent qualities, and at the same time, I enjoy using paint for what it was originally meant to do. Gutai ideology, Baroque drama, and the biting observational realism of Courbet, Leparge, Theibaud, and Freud all influence my work (among many others). I believe that it's possible to make something beautiful, and make it meaningful at the same time."
Artist Mr. Matthew Morrocco, another New York based artist and photographer, deals mostly with personal relationships and existential philosophy. He is currently represented by Cyr Morr Studio.
Feautured artist Jeffrey Bunce feels “the realization that rules do not exist in art has opened my world. Working in several mediums, applying multiple techniques, increasingly allows me as an artist to share my passion for life.From planning a painting to walking up to an empty canvas without a plan, passion needs to be present. It is what's inside that is screaming to come out. To share a vision that otherwise may be missed in our common lives, is art...We all have it in us, but as a painter it is my sole purpose to propose it.”
Born in 1987 in Dublin, Ohio, Lauren Purje received her BFA in painting at Ohio University in 2009. Ms. Purje has been included in juried exhibitions curated by Christine Heindl and DeWitt Godfrey at the Ohio Uiversity Gallery in Athens, Ohio. Her work plays with themes inspired by Existentialist theory and Absurdism. Lauren now lives and works in New York.
Artist Joseph Dolinsky: Uses mixed medias, such as latex, acrylic and oil paint. “ I have been combining abstract space with figurative work. The figures are interacting with this abstact environment, or being created from it. The line between negative and positive space is altered or erased, allowing the objects to meld with the surreal landscape. The latex lends itself to the movement and the fluidity of the piece. The brush strokes create an energy that moves through both the figures and the background, depicting unity of form” .
Scott Williams, Artist, Actor, Cartoonist and Puppeteer began his theatrical career as a scenic artist then as an actor in such productions as "E-Man", "Sugar Mouth Sam", and 'Home". As a Puppeteer he has performed with The Brewery Puppet troupe in Washington D.C., Boston as well as many locations in the New York City area. He has done many voice-overs in children’s animated shows like "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", "Pokémon”, Chaotic" and many others. Mr. Williams has had many sports and political cartoons published for newspapers like CITY HALL, THE CAPITOL, THE NEW YORK PRESS and THE JEWISH VOICE as well as The ALICIA KEYS FAN CLUB magazine.
Artist Walter L. Mosley’s Art reflects his admiration and esteem of the timeless principles of art while simultaneously embracing bravura and spontaneity, the hallmarks of modern art.

Be sure to attend a reception.
Artist Dorothy Nash, a native New Yorker, a former NYC public HS teacher with a Masters degree in Fine Art has placed her perceptions and opinions on paper, each sketch incorporates unique characters, some friends others strangers and purely some fictional imaginatory images. The results are fanciful, flirtatious, sometimes snobbish but mostly fun. Be sure to stop by for a meet and greet.
