SUMMARY:Commit to Memory: The Precipice of Extinction
DESCRIPTION:Commit to Memory: The Precipice of ExtinctionBy Cheryl GrossOn view: June 5-July 3Opening: Fri\, June 5 | 5-7pm\nExhibition statement:Commit to Memory: The Precipice of Extinction is a multi-platform\, social commentary addressing the shifting and eventual disappearance of our culture using animals as metaphors with overall goal being socially relevant as well as visually compelling. \nUsing animals on the endangered species list I have created a multi-media graphic audiovisual representation of society teetering on the verge of collapse. Artistic depictions of animal species as victims illustrate the decline of the American democratic system. Use of the word “extinction” throughout the narrative is the blueprint of this project. \nThe Elephant alludes to the destruction of family and community. Scientists have long used footage of elephant rescues to measure humanities ability to feel empathy. This aspect of the project questions the impulse to kill animals that make us feel “love.” \nThe Penguin explores the disappearance of societal structures. With the destruction of the artic certain penguins are left with nowhere to go except man-made exploitive habitats such as Sea World. What is life when our last option resembles a prison? \nThe Frog alludes to complete extinction caused by disease through globalization. The African Bullfrog was brought to the Americas for one purpose—to be living pregnancy tests for humans. These creatures\, used to predict life\, eventually became the destruction of an entire species of frogs as they carried a fungus eradicating the indigenous golden frog. This is reminiscent of indigenous peoples succumbing to European diseases. \nThe Tiger explores the emotional impact due to the fact of how home and territory is rapidly being diminished by development. By obliterating our environment\, we are left to somehow adjust to new social order and redefine the norm. The contributing factors such as war\, globalization\, gentrification and handouts\, continue to pave the way but it is not without consequence. \nA quote by Nicelle Davis explains my statement rather clearly: \nDeath is a charmer; nothing makes us feel more alive than brushing shoulders with him at a bar\, in our cars\, or at 5\,000 feet in the air. Every time we risk and survive there is a thrill. We feel like we won more life because we are not the ones dying. \nThere is something sexy about Death\, how when poachers take a machete to the face of an elephant\, how sex is always better once it’s gone\, or when whalers take a grenade harpoon to a whale—even more so when an entire species is gone\, how life looks for life even inside a zoo. \nBut Death is a trickster. We can never win at his game. We might be living\, but our humanity is dying. Soon\, there will be nothing of our lives worth living for. \nAbout the artist:Brooklyn native Cheryl Gross is an illustrator\, painter\, writer and motion graphic artist living and working in the New York/ Jersey City area. She is a professor at Pratt Institute. \nCheryl’s work has appeared in numerous films\, TV shows\, publications\, and graces the walls of many corporate and museum collections including: Zebra Poetry Film Festival\, Berlin\, New York Times\, Riverside Museum\, Riverside\, Ca.\, The Museum of The City of New York\, Mississippi Museum of Art\, Laforet Harajuku Museum\, Tokyo\, Japan\, Artist-In-Residency\, Kunstlerhaus\, Saarbruken\, Germany.

SUMMARY:Life in Harmony: Mandalas by Anamika
DESCRIPTION:Life in Harmony: Mandalas by Anamika\nOn view: June 5-July 3\nOpening: Friday\, June 5 | 5-7pm\nExhibition statement:\nMandala artwork symbolizes harmony\, balance\, and the interconnectedness of life. Intricate patterns radiate from the center\, representing unity and cosmic order. With its vibrant colors and sacred geometry\, the mandala invites viewers into a meditative space\, offering a visual journey toward inner peace\, spiritual awakening\, and universal energy. \nAbout the artist:\nAnamika Sinha is a self-taught artist whose creative journey began in childhood. Growing up\, she was naturally drawn to art\, exploring drawing and expression at an early age. Although she did not have access to formal training due to location constraints\, her father played an important role in nurturing her interest and guiding her first steps in art. \nAs life progressed\, academic priorities took over and art slowly faded into the background. For nearly two decades\, she was completely away from creative practice\, focusing instead on studies\, career responsibilities\, marriage\, and raising a family. Amid the busy and demanding years of raising three boys\, she felt the need to reconnect with something personal and fulfilling. \nIn 2022\, she returned to art\, picking up from where she had left off many years ago. Since then\, there has been no looking back. Her artistic journey has become a space of rediscovery\, growth\, and healing. With every artwork\, she continues to learn\, improve\, and evolve her style. \nShe is especially drawn to detailed work\, whether it is human portraits\, animal studies\, or intricate mandala art. Mandalas\, in particular\, feel meditative and grounding for her\, while portraits allow her to capture emotion and expression. Her work reflects patience\, depth\, and a strong emotional connection to her subjects\, marking a powerful return to her lifelong passion. \nArtist statement:\nI started my artistic journey in 2022\, and since then I have been learning and exploring different styles of art. I am still growing as an artist and discovering my own voice through practice and observation. \nI enjoy creating detailed artwork\, as I love focusing on small elements that bring life to a piece. Mandala art is very special to me because it feels meditative and calming. When I create mandalas\, I feel peaceful and fully present in the moment. \nAlong with mandalas\, I also enjoy making portraits of people and animals. Through portraits\, I try to capture emotions\, expressions\, and the quiet stories behind each subject. \nMy work is a journey of learning\, patience\, and exploration\, where I express both detail and emotion in different ways. \nInstagram
