"Groundbreaking" : Tess Michalik
​
‘Groundbreaking’ is an exhibition of oil paintings by Brooklyn-based artist Tess Michalik. The titular riff on Miranda Priestley's iconic, sardonic "florals for spring" moment invites viewers to pause and reconsider our collective relief and wonder when flowers break ground as a ritualistic and sacred phenomenon. This is how Tess's impasto floral pattern motifs make people feel. Unhinged and possessed, like a merge of deKooning and Kate Spade, the artist renders petals in thick strokes that appear still wet, rippling with the energy of the season.

"Shoto Kohagura & Julius Linnenbrink" : Shoto Kohagura & Julius Linnenbrink

The artists in this exhibition similarly explore themes of spirituality, consciousness, and personal identity in their work. While the works are an expression of both internal and external conflict, they reflect on our collective relationship to the universe in a muted or exuberant response.

"THE MAGICAL GARDEN" : Vian Borchert, Sandra Gottlieb, Leah Oates, Joyce Pommer, Gregory Reid, Alexandra Rozenman, Robert Solomon, Philip Verhoeven & Martin Weinstein
​
The Magical Garden brings together work in various media, painting, photography, and works on paper, that describes and comments on a sensation of natural wonder and bliss while simultaneously going under the surface— when innocence is lost, and when The Magical Garden turns from a children's story to adult fiction. The search for truth and reason, love and enlightenment, nascent, and yet semi-dormant, in children follows us into adulthood and throughout our lives. The Magical Garden stands for both the place and idea of a fledgeling, youthful and prospering humanity where and when nature's harmony is still aligned with our own budding interests and ideas about the world as we perceive it and grow into. Curatorial Exhibition Walk Thru and RECEPTION: THURSDAY, APRIL 18 | 6-8PM.

"Femme" : Angela A'Court, Charles Buckley, Deirdre O'Connell, Deborah Freedman, Miriam Hitchcock, Ruth Shively, Jan Testori-Markman, & Ulla Scheinemann
​
Throughout the history of art the feminine form has served a multitude of purposes as muse, model, object of lust and a representation of societal standards or morals. Presented for public consumption, women’s bodies were displayed as commodities within and for the male gaze. In Femme, SEFA reexamines these notions and explores contemporary depictions of women at our New York City Gallery. The artists featured in this exhibition are Angela A'Court, Charles Buckley, Deirdre O'Connell, Deborah Freedman, Miriam Hitchcock, Ruth Shively, Jan Testori-Markman and Ulla Scheinemann. Femme marks the debut at SEFA for Hitchcock and Testori-Markman.

"Devon Marinac: The Spin of the Whirled" : Devon Marinac
​
Often in poignant and comical ways, Marinac uses art as a vehicle to understand his own life and the world around him through recycling and reimagining found materials. Being both influenced by and involved in the Canadian drawing movement, the artist finds merit and influence in the Funk art of the bay area, COBRA, genre fiction, and a multitude of twentieth-century writers. His artwork has been reviewed in the Comics Journal, published in BOMB Magazine, and exhibited throughout Canada and in New York City.

"Constellations" : Karen Tompkins
​
With glittering points of light and pulsing rays shooting across the canvas, Karen Tompkins’ new series, Constellations, evokes the grandeur of the stars and the mysterious depths of the night sky. As an artist who engages with the topic of astronomy and the constellations, Tompkins immediately situates herself within a long lineage of creative predecessors, such as Vincent Van Gogh, most recognized for capturing the drama of a starry night. However, the constellations have captured man’s imagination for millennia, beginning with cave artists in France and Germany. As Tompkins depicts the vastness of outer space with her art, the constellations continue to offer endless generative possibilities for her to explore.
