Costa Dvorezky’s Expressionistic Paintings of Floating Characters

Costa Dvorezky paints human figures with broad, luxurious brushstrokes that leave traces of dripping paint throughout his work. Though characters are at the center, Dvorezky prioritizes his expressionistic painting style over creating a narrative. Backgrounds melt away into abstract markings that transport his men and women into an imaginary space where they appear to defy gravity. Their bodies float, swing, and tumble with the levity and grace of trained acrobats and dancers.

Gregory Thielker creates paintings which combine realism and aspects of abstraction by obscuring the views of his surroundings. After studying Art History at Williams College in Massachusetts and getting his MFA in Painting at Washington University in St. Louis, he embarked on cross-country road trips and working outdoors. This is when he began his series "Under the unminding sky", which captures his trip's sights through the perspective of a rainy car windshield. Intrigued by the way rain accented and veiled the scenery in front of him, it became the model for his paintings, transforming the driver's environments in a realistic way.
Thursday night's opening of Alex Gross's "Future Tense" at Jonathan LeVine Gallery in New York's Chelsea district greeted viewers with a heavy dose of consumer culture.
