McDaris Fine Art presents
Forrest Burch: Visionary Landscapes
Opening Reception Saturday, March 14, 6-8 p.m.
On Exhibition through April 12, 2015 Forrest Burch’s new collection of paintings vivifies the landscape in which this self-taught artist has always lived. Hallmarks of the Hudson River Valley environment – rushing waterfalls and creeks, lush forests, rocky outcroppings, golden skies – belie the existence of hidden behemoths. Forms emerge from hillsides and amongst clouds, trees converse, boulders slumber together, a forest inhales under the moonlight. Burch’s imagination transforms landscapes into titans whose futures are forever. McDaris Fine Art & Advisory

MARTIN KATZOFF | DAVID EUSTACE
New Works: Paintings by MARTIN KATZOFF
The Way Things Sometimes: Paintings by DAVID EUSTACE

OPENING RECEPTION
SATURDAY 22 NOVEMBER 6-8PM
On Exhibition through 28 December 2014

David Eustace, The Way Things Sometimes Come to Rest, 2014, 108”h x 60”w, mixed media on canvas

David Eustace explores the processes of accretion, dissolution, and entropy in a series of new works entitled "The Way Things Sometimes." The stuff of man-made construction - rail spikes, nuts and bolts, bricks, rope - form constellations of chaos in mid-air or below water. Their trajectories point to destinations flung far into unknown celestial territory, or an inevitable surrender to gravity as they collide with earth's surface randomly and lie inert. The vastness of sky and ocean continues unperturbed while providing an infinite stage upon which humanity or its collateral "struts and frets." Each work in this collection is both provocative and consoling, and exalts the state of transformation.

Martin Katzoff, Untitled 3, 2014, oil/acrylic ink on canvas, 78”h x 127”w

A sea of color rolls, crests, then breaks across the canvas in Martin Katzoff's new series of mixed media paintings. The sheer physicality of these works excites and overwhelms the senses. Katzoff reinvents and invigorates the mode of expressionism, making it his own with visual language borrowed from the street. For example, objects and forms begin to suggest themselves, then recede from definition beneath waves of rich gestures. This vibrant collection manifests the spontaneity, sensuality, and euphoria inherent in creativity; it beckons viewers to dive in with abandon and leave constraints and convention behind.

All are invited to attend.

Rosalind Shaffer & Tony Thomposon
Opening Reception:
Saturday May 3, 2014 from 6 to 8pm Meditations on Spring, Rosalind Shaffer's new collection of ceramic works is a dazzling show of mastery and imagination. Garbed in raiments that evoke forms found in nature, meditative figures exude quiescence and inspire repose. Vases and vessels are collared in organically-shaped frills, or glazed with delicate soft-white or celadon that reflects the new-born coloration of the season. Like Spring itself, this ethereal collection of works is bliss manifested.

Elisions brings together works by Tony Thompson is disparate media that are completely reflective. Two landscapes turned on their sides drift into one another linked by their substrate and a shared, cloudy sky. Oriental carpets leak colors from their warps and wefts forming bright or patterned "spills". The collection visually quotes Aristotle ("the whole is greater than the sum of its parts"_, underscores the mysterious quality of creative experiences, and describes artists as alchemists.

McDaris Fine Art is located at 623 Warren Street in Hudson, NY.
For more information call (212) 518-7551.

Currently on display at McDaris Fine Art is an exhibit curated from the collection at Steepletop, poet Edna St. Vincent Millay’s country house in Columbia County.

The exhibit was recently highlighted in an article in the Register Star. The article states, "Rare photographs, personal effects, art and artifacts, some of which were being displayed for the first time, showcased the poet’s home life and outlook, perhaps painting her in a new light for some."

Beyond the Poetry: Treasures from Steepletop will be on display at McDaris Fine Art until March 2. The gallery is located at 623 Warren Street, Hudson, NY.

A new exhibit has just opened at McDaris Fine Art. Other Worlds brings together three accomplished, mid-career artists whose works are cerebral, spiritual, and abstract to varying degrees. They make invisible worlds visible. The exhibit runs from October 4 through November 4.

David Eustace’s paintings manifest experiments, observations, and projections. Elements of mysticism and magic are signposts that mark the coming of a momentous event. Each work can be seen to have its place in a succession from order to complexity and chaos. These mixed media paintings have been exposed to outside weather conditions for lengthy periods of time so they are literally records of change. They conflate the Middle Ages with our own moment in history. As a collecion of works, they foreshadow a period of radical tranformation where, ironically, ancient ages are reborn within them.

Patrick Keesey’s paintings and drawings sandwich two and three dimensions to effect airy, architectural structures or dense , teeming shapes built up by a distinctive mark making. They are all the more extraordinary for their process involving drawing while acutely focusing on the subject alone. Inherently theoretical, they explore drawing as a highly analytical practice as well as a meditative one. Their palettes are complementary to the drawing technique to the extent that they appear to have selected themselves. They disassemble the natural world and put it back together intriguingly and tenderly as a portrait of late day, a puzzle, rumination, poetry.

There is an intense, palpable introspection in Joseph Stabilito’s paintings. Astonishing flora and fauna are suspended in space the parameters of which are defined emotionally and psychologically. Shapes emerge from an atmosphere punctuated by lines curving in on themselves. Light spills onto the canvas in splendor, searches the deep, glows incessantly, or is remarkably absent. These paintings are not afraid to be beautiful which, in turn, underscores artistic strength, confidence, experience. They make visible the psychological crucible in which individuality is forged, and through which all of humanity is linked.
