Hunt Slonem & Suki Maguire - November 7 to 28, 2024

Lilac Gallery New York is pleased to present “Intermission” an exhibition of works by Hunt Slonem & Suki Maguire. Bringing together for the first time at Lilac, an outstanding collection of lavishly colored pieces that converge to create an explosive exhibit filled with striking colors, vibrant textures and explorative themes. Where both artists share a strong sense of repetition and pattern making, wavering between abstract expressionism and neo expressionism, inviting the viewer to a world that lets you play and be filled with wonder. Running from November 7 to 28, 2024.

"Intermission" focuses on Slonem's main subjects while revealing new and exciting selection of works, weaving the spiritual and energetic spheres, translating into a mesmerizing collection of works by Suki and Hunt, creating an exciting exchange which can be found in the richness of the show. As Slonem concentrates mostly on spiritual themes, while Suki treats the viewer with a series of works that tantalizes the imagination with bold strokes of dark and light. Slonem's pieces are filled with a radiant energy and velocity by creating the beloved subjects of Bunnies, Birds, Butterflies and also flowers. With the use of expressive and bold colors to monochromatic patterns, Hunt Slonem, uses repetition and application of materials.

Both artists capture moments of inspiration while tying them into their own world and themes of spirituality, as "Intermission" serves as a vehicle to bridge concepts rooted in the abstract terraine. Unorthodox; yet effective, their creations are represented with hints of shapes both the human and animal spirit along with an ethereal feeling that pulls us through the two-dimensional surface of the canvas into the mysterious depths of a multidimensional world.

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, 2024

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, 2024

Lilac Gallery New York is pleased to present “Layered In Time” an exhibition of works by Gieler & Daniel Fiorda.

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, 2024

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.
