Judi Keeshan
EXHIBITION DATES
March 2022 - April 2022
Judi Keeshan grew up in a 1970's suburbia neighborhood of Houston, Texas. Her house was filled with reproductions of paintings that were hung salon style. She would stare at the prints hanging in our house with an intense curiosity about art. Judi’s favorite painter was El Greco. As a child, she attended art classes at The Houston Museum of Contemporary Art where the students made abstract art and learned about contemporary art trends.
Ceramics studies inspired Judi to make abstract paintings with organic shapes and decorative patterns. She also made expressionist figurative painting while the majority of the students made abstract minimalist work. Her BFA in Fine Arts was completed at Texas State University and she attended painting classes in Barcelona, Spain. Judi’s education continued in New York where she received a MFA at School of Visual Arts.
Nicholas Cueva
EXHIBITION DATES
November 2020 - January 2021
Nicholas Cueva, born 1983 in Dana Point, California, is an artist currently living in Brooklyn. His casual but specific approach to painting is conceptually bound into the physicality of space in image.
Receiving his MFA in Painting and Drawing at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, he moved to New York in 2011, where his constant approach to the current languages of construction and loss have gone on to influence and dialogue with the Bushwick scene.
Born with a rare and lethal heart condition, and undergoing frequent life saving heart surgeries, all starting at 6 months, he has dealt with mortality his whole life. His early philosophical approach was initially sated within a religious and academic context, but after some consessions and re-evaluating, he has fallen onto using art to wordlessly unpack his and others frail and damaged psychologies.

Maureen Meehan
EXHIBITION DATES
August - September 2019
Nature warns us: reuse, repurpose, recycle.
So we reconsider: What is enough? What do we really need? What is already here?
The paintings in this show are my remnants, the pieces that were left behind.
It was living with them, reconsidering them that I began to see them rather than what they lacked.
What they carry I offer here as a healing.
I do not recycle these remnants.
These remnants recycle me.

Ben Cowan
EXHIBITION DATES
April - June 2019
Ben Cowan's paintings feature familiar Brooklyn sights cropped, collaged and simplified in order to capture a concentrated experience that refers to the interpersonal and supernatural. Wrought iron gates and architecture are the background to every glance of Brooklyn’s surroundings. By pairing the open invitation of domestic architecture and firm boundaries of decorative gates, the paintings deliver a sense of promise and denial. A deep space is implied but the depth is fragile. Color, sensuous surface, and familiar foliage entice; but, still a longing remains.
Susan Ziegler
EXHIBITION DATES
January - March 2019
Susan Ziegler is interested in exploring the intersection of the natural world and urban experience. Her work begins with unexpected meetings and collisions of nature and architectural elements in the city and landscape. The city seems to grow, change and take on a kind of animated life of it’s own while living plants and the natural landscape feels alternately fragile and resilient.
