Perry Lawson Fine Art Presents: EMERGING ARTISTS
2025-02-01 13:00 - 2025-03-16 17:00 | Perry Lawson Fine Art,90 North Broadway, Nyack, NY 10960, USA
Perry Lawson Fine Art is pleased to present Emerging Visions, an exhibition showcasing a diverse range of creative approaches through the work of six early-career artists: Tomas Benincasa Reade, Taylor Bielecki, Arabela Gandy, Evan Jorgensen, Joshua Paige, and Karin Yamamoto. Each artist brings a unique perspective, reflecting the breadth of ideas and practices shaping contemporary art today.
Tomas Benincasa Reade draws inspiration from antiquity, particularly the art and artifacts of civilizations like the Aztecs and Babylonians. Their works immerse viewers in an enigmatic reality steeped in mythology, spirituality, and culture. Similarly, Benincasa Reade’s creations act as portals to a world unbound by convention or science. Viewers often ask whether his characters are human or alien, what animals are depicted, or what real-world inspirations inform the works’ peculiarities. Yet, he leaves these questions unanswered, encouraging us to embrace the mystery, interpret our own meanings, and build personal connections with his imagined realm. Benincasa Reade is currently pursuing a BFA at Brooklyn College. He lives and works in Brooklyn, NY.

Taylor Bielecki’s artwork is influenced by cinema, bringing the viewers into scenes often distorted by rain, light, or at street level. She also self publishes her own flash fiction art book series depicting the “before” or “after” scenes of her paintings, to further her study of how to merge cinema and painting on the canvas. Bielecki was a finalist in the Kennedy Center’s VSA National Emerging Young Artist program for 2017; where she earned an Award of Excellence. She has shown throughout Chester County and Penn State in Pennsylvania, and has shown prints internationally in a print exchange in Australia and exhibitions in Dubai, India and the Glasgow School of Art. She has also shown paintings internationally in Gallery 24N, PhilaMOCA’s juried exhibitions in Philadelphia, PA, and she finished with an Award of Distinction in Creative York’s Emerging Visions national juried exhibition in York, PA, in 2018. Bielecki holds a BA and BFA from Penn State and an MFA from Pratt Institute. She currently lives and works in Brooklyn, NY.
Arabela Gandy creates ethereal oil paintings, murals, and hand-painted fashion accessories that capture the beauty of everyday moments, blending contemporary style with timeless elegance. After attending the Massachusetts College of Art and Design, Gandy transitioned to pursue alternative opportunities in the Boston art scene before gaining recognition for her expressive works. In 2019, Gandy was commissioned by the North Shore Community Development Coalition to design a public mural for The Punto Urban Art Museum in Salem, MA. By 2020, she relocated to New York, where she expanded her practice to include commissioned works for notable clients such as Outback Steakhouse and Stellar Snacks. Gandy’s achievements include receiving the 2024 Charlotte Mouquin Rising Star Award and the 2023 Artist Support Fund Grant from the Arts Council of Rockland. She has exhibited in group shows across New York and Boston and currently lives and works in Nyack, NY.
Evan Jorgensen is a Brooklyn-based artist whose work transforms the visions of his everyday life through photographs and paintings. By interrupting the inkjet printing process—known for its speed, consistency, and precision—he creates wet, tactile impressions that defy conventional expectations of photography. Rather than discarding these imperfect outcomes, Jorgensen brushes and reprints them, inviting viewers to reexamine the image and blur the boundaries between photograph and painting. Through this process, he explores fundamental questions about medium and materiality in photography. Since earning his BFA in Photography from Pratt Institute in 2016, Jorgensen has exhibited across the United States and internationally, with recent shows in New York, Connecticut, and Ireland. His practice also includes self-publishing books, and in 2019, his photographs were featured in Aint-Bad.
Josh Paige is a Brooklyn artist whose work is deeply influenced by the textures and elements of his hometown. From paint spills to graffiti, these urban features find their way into his paintings, collage, and sculpture. His work often explores the relationship between human consciousness, spirituality and sense of self. Drawing on a variety of mediums to bring his visual ideas to life. Paige’s art has been featured in numerous group shows. He has been published in Aspen Art Museum Magazine and he has collaborated with various brands, including LVMH, Saks Fifth Avenue, and Anthropologie. Whether creating installation art or working on set design, Paige brings his unique artist vision to every aspect of his work. He believes that art can provide context and community while evoking powerful emotional responses from viewers. Paige holds a BFA from the Fashion Institute of Technology.

Karin Yamamoto, a Queens-based painter whose works are often interior scenes of her surroundings, which focus on color, light, and spatial relationships. Yamamoto, a native of Japan, moved to New York City to pursue an education in the arts and received a BFA from SUNY Purchase College. She has exhibited throughout the New York area and is a member of the Japanese Artists Association of New York (JAANY), participating in the group’s annual exhibition at the Tenri Cultural Institute of New York every September since 2022. In 2013, she was commissioned by Steinway & Sons to design and paint a custom-made piano for the Hand in Hand Charity Concert at Jazz at Lincoln Center. In 2020, she was selected as a winner of the Web Art Exhibition “Forward Together!” organized by The Nippon Club and received the special Ambassador Yamanouchi Award. In 2024, her work was chosen for the School of Visual Arts Continuing Education program’s Summer 2024 Showcase at SVA’s Flatiron Project Space.

Perry Lawson Fine Art Presents: Hope is the Thing with Feathers
2025-03-22 - 2025-05-11 | Perry Lawson Fine Art, 90 North Broadway, Nyack, 10960
Perry Lawson Fine Art is pleased to present Hope is the Thing with Feathers, an exhibition featuring bird-themed artwork by Sharon Falk, Glenn Goldberg, Bryn Jayes, Jackie Shatz, Mckenna van Koppen, and Hanna von Goeler. The title is drawn from Emily Dickinson’s poem of the same name, which serves as a touchstone for the exhibition’s exploration of birds as symbols of hope and resilience. In times of uncertainty, they can remind us of the power of persistence and the possibility of flight beyond hardship. This exhibition pays homage to birds and all they symbolize, offering a space to reflect on hope as an ever-present force.
