NEW WAVE
NEW WAVE a benefit exhibition curated by David Williams Caity Berndt, Bradley Biancardi, Todd Bienvenu, Kimia Ferdowsi Kline, Julien Gardair, Thea Gregorius, Annie Hemond-Hotte, Mitch Hobbs, Asif Hoque, Sam Jablon, Adrien Marcais, Emily Marie Miller, Bianca Nemelc, Christina Nicodema, Tim Okamura, Christa Pratt, Bony Ramirez. Chelsea Ramirez, Hiba Schahbaz, Peter Schenck, Ryan Schneider, Jordan Sullivan, Rob Szot, Chuck Webster, David Williams, Alex Yudzon Opening June 25, 2020 Anna Zorina Gallery is pleased to announce New Wave, an online benefit exhibition curated by artist David Williams. The impetus for the group show is to help fulfill the daunting need for aid in the greater New York City area, specifically in lower income communities; as well as contribute to the related, ongoing need of resources for the Black Lives Matter Initiative. New Wave emerges from a unique moment in history when every living person is affected by a global pandemic. As we unite in protecting ourselves and our neighbors from the virus, our perspective shifts into acute focus onto the fight against the centuries-old violent plague of racial injustice. Williams brings together 26 artists to celebrate the vibrant connective fabric of New York City-based creatives. The exhibition features a wide range of styles and unique voices, what the artist’s share is the desire to give back to their community. Sales from each work will be split evenly with 50% going to the artist and the other 50% payable to a charity or charities of the artist’s choice. Selected charities include Black Lives Matter, Covid Relief Fund, Art Start, Southern Poverty Law Center, By Us For Us and No New Jails. There is so much work to be done. New Wave marks a commitment to making efforts that amount to necessary changes on a significant scale and is a testament to the power of the arts to enrich the community in a substantial way.

REVIEW OF CAITLIN BERNDT’S SOLO EXHIBITION, EDGE IN, BY EAKIN ERKAN
KATE OH GALLERY
50E 72ND STREET #3A NEW YORK NY 10021

Brooklyn-based artist, Caitlin Berndt’s current exhibition at Kate Oh Gallery, “Edge In,” is steeped in an art historical tradition that draws from the abstracted figures and object-studies of American Abstraction’s field paintings, while mediated by the bleeding orphic dyes of Kupka, Léger and Delaunay’s Fauvism. Delicately fettered in this harmony, Berndt’s balance between small-scale gouache paintings and large-scale oil works uncovers the relationship between frayed perception and personal mythos. Domestic indices of organic life—fauna, cacti and Venus flytraps—vacillate between beclouded shadows and fractured materiality, a dialectic practice that reproduces the uncanny process of hallucination, or that which Berndt terms an “acid desert dreamland.” Thus, one such cactus subsumes the sun's flaxen rays, its thorns turned orange, while an inky aquamarine plash swathes the entire canvas.
Despite our postmodern epoch has effaced the cannon of “representational art,” Berndt’s deliberate decision to salvage the markers of post-impressionist domesticity culls the practice of cathartic meditation and retrospection. Redolent of suspended dancers, the florid botany and flickering shadows adoring Berndt’s canvases evoke the process of reassembling cloaked memories. For Berndt, these works are not simply pedagogical studies of relational aesthetics or philosophical encroachments upon the sublime but, instead, recollect the unveiling of everyday life from the recesses of memory.
Berndt’s rhythmic images also recall her artistic process, as her paintings are often the product of threading relics of material culture into an aggregate assemblage. With Edge In, Berndt’s methodology is mildly reminiscent of that of Gerhard Richter, albeit Berndt has no interest in preserving the fold of photorealism: while, like Richter, these paintings were originally conceived of as digital projections, they also trace sculptural studies and intimate reminiscence. In turn, Edge In invites the viewer to disentangle familiar images of romance and quotidian life from their narrative accord.

50E 72ND STREET #3A NEW YORK NY 10021 +1-646-286-4575 +1-212-452-3391 INFO@KATEOHGALLERY.COM WWW.KATEOHGALLERY.COM
Title: Edge In Caitlin Berndt
October 30-November 17, 2019
Opening Reception: Wednesday, October 30, 6-8pm (RSVP only: RSVP to info@kateohgallery.com)
Kate Oh Gallery is delighted to present Edge In, a solo exhibition of new paintings by Caitlin Berndt. This series of small gouache paintings and larger oil paintings incorporates spray paint, acrylic airbrush, and sand. Like waking dreams, it takes your eyes a minute to adjust and decode what you’re looking at. Couples, little girls, spiky cacti, and Venus flytrap structures flicker in and out of focus revealing themselves in psychedelic-colored worlds. These dreamlands are playful, sexual, and strange.
The title refers to pushing oneself into an uncomfortable or precarious space where truth and fiction commingle. Caitlin’s work stems from personal narrative. In the past, she has drawn source material from fragments of pop culture, personal photographs, and memory. For this new body of work, she created maquettes that she illuminated with digital projection. One of these physical sources was a sculpture of her and her partner camping. Charting a recent transition from marriage cynic to newlywed, the content of her work shifted from selfhood to
the intimacy of partnership, selfhood-within-partnership, and the living myths woven between the two.
While Berndt’s technique is evocative of her experience painting from life, studying color from Italian frescos, and copying master works, her paintings break free of categorization. Utilizing her intuitive sense of color to explore the nuances of intimacy, she has created textural, atmospheric compositions that are steeped in emotion and subversion.

How do women view their own sexually social bodies? Provocative, participatory, sensual, spiritual, empowered and introspective; Get Naked is a group exhibition of women artists depicting the sexually imbued female form.
Artists: Sarah Barsness · Caitlin Berndt · Claire Brandt · Shelly Corbett Yanhong Ma · Amanda Manitach · Erin M Riley · Sarah B Whalen
About: Get Naked
Bryan Ohno Gallery’s current exhibition Get Naked seeks to explore a female artist’s perspective on the contemporary state of female social sexual lives. In part, the exhibition has roots in Ohno’s 2000 exhibition of work by Lynda Benglis, an artist known for pushing gender boundaries in her 1974 ArtForum ad. Get Naked includes over thirty works of art by eight female artists from five geographic locations and spanning ages from 25 to 50, setting the stage for an explosion of differing viewpoints on sexual expression.
Erin M. Riley makes the sexualized woman less controversial by contrasting the ancient art making practice of loom weaving with the recent phenomenon of sexting; elongating a lightning fast digital process for a closer and more critical look.
Sarah B. Whalen’s Shunga-esque and stark drawings of rapturous copulating couples with focus on female bliss contrast with the fragile, flickering and buzzing energy embodied by Amanda Manitach’s figures. Both artists capture a deeply emotional assessment of the physical body and it’s relation to others.
Claire Brandt and Sarah Barsness depict their own bodies; Brandt paints her own form with verity, building layers of paint sculpturally from the inside out from dark to light. In Barsness’ silverpoint etched photographs, drowsy lines created by flashlight trace her body as it recedes into a hazy network of rune-like shapes.
In Shelly Corbett’s underwater photographs, the women float ethereally free and indifferent of gaze; their coloring heightened for extreme and perfecting effect. While Corbett’s photographs suggest freedom, Caity Berndt’s many layered paintings allude to doubt; each narrative a palimpsest of sex-positive attitude tempered with restraint.
The work of Yanhong Ma introduces a Chinese perspective. After perfecting a very academic and technical method of hyper-realistic painting, Ma channels her formidable talent into capturing the young women of contemporary China. Always depicted in a private setting, Ma captures candidly informal moments in a formal society.
Get Naked's eight artists bring perspective to a spectrum of female sexuality as it evolves and adapts to aging and shifting social norms.
