CONTEMPORARY AND FINE ART | NYC
Jacques Zucker - December 7 to 28, 2024
Lilac Gallery New York is pleased to present “Passages du Monde” an exhibition of works by Jacques Zucker. A wonderful collection of a body of work that will include post-impressionistic romantic oil paintings, portraits, still-lives, town and landscapes, done on his many travels around the world and also when Jacques Zucker met Chaim Soutine and Modigliani in France.
Zucker's post-impressionistic paintings can best be described as both gentle and vehement. There is a quiet order in the composed works, yet Zucker's brush strokes suggest a more abrupt passion. This passion is seen in the deep colours executed with much texture and prominence. The sumptuous tonalities of purples, mauves, oranges and joyful yellows create a dramatic aesthetic look; vibrating and exploding in many unsuspecting ways as they eventually tone down gradually into an understatement of grays, called by Degas "dead tones." Zucker was a very intense painter, he worked rapidly, drawing with brush and color directly on to the canvas. The works on display are from various time periods of Zucker's life, leaving us with impressions from different areas of his life work.

Cindy Shaoul - TBD, 2025
Lilac Gallery New York is pleased to present “Connecting the Dots” an exhibition of works by Cindy Shaoul. A wonderful collection of her latest Dripping Dots, My Heart, and Brides pieces.
Shaoul’s “Dripping Dots” cascade down the canvas with colorful style and grace. The chunky dots are filled with life and set the viewer on a path to the dreamy locations their named after. Inspired by travels, people and the emotions we feel while we are away and bringing back those feelings into a piece and have the colors take you on a journey. This abstract style started more than a decade ago as Shaoul would clean her brushes and leftover paint from her pallet onto a new canvas, soon, the motion of cleaning turned into dots on the canvas. She began connecting the dots with linseed oil and this is how the motif of ‘dripping’ was imprinted. For her, it would become a freeing moment while painting abstractly after going to school and learning the impressionist technique. The experience of discovery with color and emotion in the brushwork became very cathartic, and felt familiar from the times she would collaborate with LA II.

Gieler & Daniel Fiorda - TBD, 2025
Lilac Gallery New York is pleased to present “Layered In Time” an exhibition of works by Gieler & Daniel Fiorda.
Gieler is able to create a completely unusual and powerful body of work by using rebellious and nostalgic plays on icons of the past and present. He is able to compose unique images on canvas captivating the viewer with the voice of the people and his own. Blending urban elements in a highly intricate way, he creates beautiful compositions that differentiate him from his counterparts.
Fiorda links past and present, old and new, with a subtle irony and criticism. The works become a critical mirror for our post-Industrial society and its polluting daily activity. Fiorda’s works have found a key place in the great currents of Contemporary sculpture. Daniel Fiorda’s sculpture breaks up the logic of representation characterized by traditional Western-Art sculptures. His works are made with discarded metals assembled in a complex and busy structure that recalls a Neo-Baroque approach to art. The sculpture's material becomes a morphological generator of its figurative shape. As an archeologist, Fiorda captures the “presence” and the elusive meaning of each work of art, most lately with discarded remnants of the industrial world.

Christie Owen - TBD, 2025
Lilac Gallery New York is pleased to present “Rustic Minimalism” an exhibition of works by Christie Owen. A wonderful collection of fine art geometric 2D and 3D, minimalistic compositions of her latest works.
Owens approach is to find visual solutions and utilize a variety of tools, mediums, and applications to transfer concepts and techniques from project to project. Her motivation is to simultaneously unite harmony within each work, going back and forth between controlling the brush without intention and careful planning. The materials Owen uses help guide the process while always searching for new combinations. Being both a designer and an artist, she cultivates an intermix of minimalist and organic themes, producing work which is visually textured and rich with layers of mixed media and bold patterns. Her work tends to have a rustic and heavily textured quality, but the final result is intended to appear quiet to reflect a more minimal outlook on life and art. Creating pieces which allow us to escape the technological realm, contemplate modern living and nature and then communicate how each domain influences another. Her pieces aim to engage the viewer with an emotional and environmental disposition which evoke a sense of balance and tranquility in the modern world.

The way the flowers are scrapped from side to side tells a story of movement and passion, history is neither lost nor ignored, and it is presented with rejuvenation as the flowers reflect life and new opportunities.
