MUST RUN 2/15

JEFF BAILEY GALLERY & ANDREA MEISLIN GALLERY, GOUACHE

ak/gs set 2/6 #728141

NEW YORK CITY — Jeff Bailey Gallery and Andrea Meislin Gallery announce a group exhibition featuring 70 artists who use gouache in their work. The exhibition is curated by Geoffrey Young and opens February 15, from 6 to 8 pm, with a reception at both galleries.

Gouache, an opaque watercolor, dries fast and yields a bright matte finish. A veteran medium — it has been around for millennia — gouache can be bold, subtle, dense or airy, depending on the shaping hand. For many it has become the medium of choice for works on paper.

Well-known artists such as Kay Rosen, Thomas Nozkowski, James Siena, Dike Blair, Judith Linhares, Bruce Pearson, Amy Sillman, Fred Tomaselli, Barbara Takenaga and Steve diBenedetto will be joined by midcareer and younger emerging artists who have found something fresh to say in the medium.

Abstraction and representation will vie for supremacy, while fantasy and imagination attempt to steal the show, proving that gouache is a medium through which the creative juices of several generations of artists can flow with terrific, unpredictable results.

Jeff Bailey Gallery is at 511 West 25th Street, No. 207; Andrea Meislin Gallery is at 52 West 26th Street.

For more information, Jeff Bailey, 212-989-0156 and Andrea Meislin, 212-627-2552; www.baileygallery.com or www.andreameislin.com.
