Art is a tiny glowing ember. And because it is fragile, our responsibility is to sustain it, to keep it going. Bill de Kooning summed it up: “If I stretch my arms and wonder where my fingers are – that is all the space I need as a painter.”  - George Negroponte 

Work by Virva Hinnemo and George Negroponte is currently being shown alongside John Battle at Keyes Art in Sag Harbor. 

George Negroponte currently has a painting on view in the Museum of Contemporary Art, Andros as part of their current group exhibition Approaches to Abstraction by Greek Artists of the Diaspora: Works from the B&E Goulandris Foundation Collection. 

Fueled by Dickinson’s expansive intuition, veracity, and her elastic use of language, the exhibition will explore identity, abstraction, and the phenomenological nature of vision.  

There is something loose and special about the Sag Harbor art gallery community, which can treat its art shows as intuitive and impromptu affairs. Often an open forum, it is not unusual for artists and curators to join the spaces in a last-minute collaboration.

Seven months ago Claude Lawrence completed a significant work titled “Eastside Ruminations”: it’s made gutsy by jolted figures, anthropomorphic prompts, and heavy black contouring that gives the work the look of a stained glass window. It glows. The organization of this painting is not unlike other works by Lawrence from this period as it highlights dispersed forms brought together by a deliberate and straightforward touch.

"Drawings that defy expectations."

Works by Virva Hinemo, Gordon Moore, George Negroponte and Kazimira Rachfal on view through October 1.

George Negroponte's New Army is on view at The Curator Gallery as part of the group exhibition, New New York: Abstract Painting in the 21st Century.

Once a refuge for artists who rented cheap industrial lofts, SoHo is now one of the most stylish and exclusive neighborhoods in New York. While many of the artists have long since relocated, much of the art remains.

Despite the show’s title, an alluring softness pervades George Negroponte’s new work in his exhibition, “Gravel Road,” at Anita Rogers Gallery in Soho through January 7. 

George Negroponte comes to making art with a pure love of painting. His aim has never been to turn over the apple cart, or in Al Held’s words, reinvent the wheel. As such, he has been compelled to paint his way through various modes and approaches, learning and searching for authenticity and resonance.

George is obviously a venerable artist. My early impressions of his latest (re)+work are very positive. Keeping all of this in mind, I’m certain my reflections are influenced by the number of pieces shown, the symmetry of how the pieces are hung, and the architectural qualities and layout of the gallery, and of course the pieces themselves having a constructed efficacious quality; all giving a sense of a utilitarian longing.

On the eve of a solo exhibition of recent paintings at Anita Rogers Gallery in New York, Pat Rogers of Hamptons Art Hub reconnected with Negroponte to continue a discussion on his art and his process that began a year ago. 

Virva Hinnemo and George Negroponte will be featured in a group show, Black & White: Modern and Contemporary Positions, at Jason McCoy Gallery in New York City. The show will be on view September 14 - October 22, 2016 at 41 East 57th Street, New York 10022, 11th Floor.
