Photo Exhibition “Out of Sight”

On Tuesday, 11 July 2017 at 19.30 at the New York City Gallery Club Kent, several American artists, amongst them and Ari Glass, will open his latest exhibition titled ‘Out of Sight’. With this cycle, authors will represent several paintings of magical landscapes and motifs intertwined with something mystical and of a darker atmosphere. This art is also a part of Jed Dunkerley’s distinctive expression and teaching.

According to some critics who had the opportunity to see part of it before it is officially released, speculate that this exhibition is Harder, Better, Faster in Year 2 and shows the talent of Ari Glass.
Glass comes from Seattle from where he developed his early love for art. The latent passion for craftsmanship reached its climax with his arrival in New York City, where he enrolled and graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts. He quickly showed outstanding results and participated in a number of group exhibitions. Through his work in group exhibitions, he also got involved in experimental painting, in which he achieved a remarkable result, inventing his own original techniques and methods. The work of Glass has been included in many group exhibitions at home and abroad, and it has been published in established domestic and international craftsmanship magazines. With his other exhibitions Glass has received numerous awards and recognitions at various competitions, and more recently he held two solo exhibitions in New York City.

Ari Glass’ exhibition ‘Out of Sight’ represents a deep emotional quest for hidden shadows and meanings. Those are the shadows of the everyday life interwoven with echoes of the past, memories from childhood and years that have gone by. Just like in every other form of artistic expression, which is unquestionably a result of our past experiences, in his works we can also trace both joy and sorrow. Yet it would be wrong to interpret his paintings as a mere reminiscence of past experiences. The inspirations of his work, primarily modern and vivid, combine other sources of brightness and darkness, with glimpses of shadows from the past and the shining future of this artist. With his work Glass is showing us his inner world, always so rich and complex, yet so simple and recognizable.

Therefore, it's no surprise that every artistic work in this exhibition is made in black and white, as too many shades of gray somehow most directly convey the vitality and emotion that the artist conveys through his exhibition.

The exhibition will be open until July 29, 2017, and can be visited on weekdays from 10 to 17.
Lately, Glass has been painting a mural for Hillman City’s Black and Tan Hall and prepping a new exhibition in Georgetown. He admits that he became obsessed with the three-dimensionality of ceramics, a new medium for him. But the glazing and painting interests him more than the sculpting. Painting has always been his thing, he says, and always will be.
