An atelier exhibition featuring the works of thirteen mostly under-appreciated American artists. Works by Stephen Bitterolf, Gustave Blache III, Lordan Bunch, Matt Fink, Sally Gam, Joshua Cletus Jefferson, Kit Keith, Greg Klassen, Steve Morell, Danny O’Connor, Andre Pretorius, Carolee Schneemann and Adam Straus.

Stephen Bitterolf – Large-scale representational paintings with charcoal and a conceptual twist.

Gustave Blache III – Portraiture in the modernist vein, atmospheric, sometimes haunting.

Lordan Bunch – The poetics of floating headshots. He returns the souls to antique photobooth sitters.

Matt Fink – Funk artist from Milwaukee, bright colored paintings on board.

Sally Gam – Photocopy transfers. A love affair with mechanical reproduction and scotch tape.

Joshua Cletus Jefferson – Delicately hewn drawings on foxed-out bookleaves.

Kit Keith – St. Louis area native now lives on Brooklyn (again), drawings from a sweet-tooth nostalgia. Greg Klassen – Abstractions from a Milwaukee bike-mechanic who studied with Gerhard Richter.

Steve Morell – Boston-based artist andmaster limner using ancient paper.

Danny O’Connor – Well-known for “Ball-Walks” and prolific work in collage, photography and painting.

Andre Pretorius – Small-scale portraits in paint and pencil, rivaling Dutch Master control.

Carolee Schneemann – Written exit-application from Columbia University art major found on 116th St.

Adam Straus – Dark seascapes in gouache on the verge on abstraction.
