Most people who look at paintings or follow an artist's career are interested in seeing growth and development; some find comfort in consistency. Either way, artists must evolve and mature and that is the crux of this show. See both consistency and dynamics in Manuel Neri's 1960s cutout and collaged figures: They return in his first print project, a 1990 collaboration with Mary Julia Klemenko, as hand painted and torn etchings. José Ramón Lerma, a contemporary and friend of Neri's, has explored abstract expressionist painting, collage and assemblage for over fifty years. Watch how Gallery artist Randy Beckelheimer transforms his former abstract, color-field paintings into contemporary, photo-based, renaissance realism.
