FOR JANUARY 28 â RICHARD HICKAM EXPRESSIOISTIC PORTRAITS â NO CUTS - WD/jl set 1-17 #615633

NEW YORK CITY â âRichard Hickam: Beyond the Surfaceâ will be on view from February 5 to March 25 at the Allan Stone Gallery. The exhibition will feature a new series of 24 vibrant, richly textured expressionistic portraits that are both startling and revealing.

Hickamâs paintings reach a perceptual and conceptual level that goes beyond the superficial. The contorted faces and distorted figures maintain a haunting presence that unapologetically grabs the viewer. His intensely colored, heavily impastoed portraits are direct and raw, interspersed with feelings of isolation and melancholy.

Born in 1944 in Los Angeles, Hickam moved to Missouri in 1949. After obtaining a MFA in painting from the University of New Mexico in 1968, he started teaching, first at the Kendall College of Art and Design in Grand Rapids in 1968 and then from 1969 to 1973 at Columbus College of Art in Ohio.

Hickamâs first show, 31 years ago at the Allan Stone Gallery, was of photorealist paintings.

The Allan Stone Gallery is at 113 East 90th Street. For information, 212-987-1997 or allanstonegallery.com.

Year In Review: New Additions And Continued Offerings Marked Local Faith Communities

Head on a swivel at all times - especially in grocery parking lots! Keep an eye out for folks turning at the flagpole - it befuddles them at times.

Please Drive Safe In 2025

How do you propose tapping the brakes, Dave? 8-30g already trumps any local regulations- you don't have a brake pedal to push. Brookfield, Trumbull and now Ridgefield have a clear case for a moratorium based on the development (thanks to 8-30g) that has already occurred. I don't see a clear case for Newtown to request a moratorium... yet.

Backs Moratorium On Dense Development Applications

Nobody is suggesting shutting the doors on new neighbors. What neighboring towns are doing, and what we should be doing too, is to tap the brakes on all of the multi-family residential development proposals so that we can spend 6 months updating our regulations such that if you want to build dense residential housing here, XX percent of it needs to be affordable (we will never make any headway on increasing our percentage of affordable housing otherwise, short of 8-30g), and the rest needs to be done in as low an impact manner as possible. Low impact on traffic, health & safety, the environment and on the cost of town services.

Hey, there you go! Richard solved it. Thanks, that seems so easy- we'll just get rid of the 2nd amendment and the Supreme Court. Seriously, the 2nd amendment doesn't create violent criminals or mental illness. The Supreme Court doesn't create violent criminals or mental illness. The problem is not the tools, but the criminals & the mental illness. The state of Connecticut seems to be focused on the tools, like Richard, while ignoring the users of those tools.

Why Gun Violence Is Higher In The US

Ned, please familarize yourself with 8-30G, and then please share the unique flaws that may be helpful in formulating a denial An 8-30g project can be denied only on very narrow grounds – i.e., if it presents health, safety or other concerns that exceed a town’s need for affordable housing. According to the TOG website, “projects cannot be rejected for incompatibility with a Town’s Plan of Conservation and Development (POCD); density; traffic congestion; height; aesthetics; concerns of neighbors or the community; and failure to comply with local zoning regulations.” 8-30g proposals are rarely denied by planning and zoning officials because the burden of proof on appeal is on the town. Appeals are costly, but a municipality can be successful in a court case if it has sufficiently established that the concerns leading to denial are factual and substantive.
