Press Release

Art Gate, the latest contemporary art venue to open in Chelsea will present its first group exhibition of American artists. The exhibition comprises of 2-D work created from a wide range of media: from oil on linen, digital prints to works on steel canvases. Cara Enteles, Miya Ando Stanoff, Mia Brownell, Holly Sears and Martin Kruck have works in this show. The exhibition brings together the works of five artists that collectively form a strong concept – to just let nature be itself. Regina Joh and Sylvia Kim, curators, imagine a space that sends out a signal to this grand concrete jungle - New York city and all its inhabitants, with the simple, yet in a renewed sense, the message ]‘we shouldn’t interfere with nature; it can take care of itself’.

Cara’s work explores predatory/prey relationships within nature, while analyzing man’s destructive actions on the natural world, whereas, Holly envisions physical and spiritual kinship between the inhabitants of the world. Miya uses metal finishing techniques on steel panels to create abstract, distinctly meditative environments. Mia paints with traditional techniques to make manifest her fascination with America’s attitude toward food as commodity. Digitally composed images by Martin captures his notions and personal experiences with landscapes.

The exhibition will be on view from July 15th through August 2nd 2008. The opening reception will be on July 17th , Thursday from 6 - 8PM. Gallery hours are Tuesday through Saturday 10AM – 6PM. For more information contact Art Gate Galley at 212-695-8971 or info@artgateny.com
