Point of Connection
December 5, 2009 - January 23, 2010










 


  
Passing Moment- Lana Santorelli, Oil on Canvas, 18" x 36"

Lana Santorelli's subject matter is universal- life, death, love- though the end product, her colorful, rebellious artwork, is anything but.  Santorelli wants the viewer to feel her work on a close, personal level.  It's a reciprocal relationship; the viewer's connection with her work is a driving force in her lifelong quest for emotional expression.  Point of Connection focused on recent work by Lana Santorelli Gallery's artist-owner that exemplifies these emotional experiments she conducts.   

10% of all proceeds from Point of Connection went go to Hope for a Healthier Humanity.  As a public charity, HHH is committed to assisting the developing nations of the Caribbean and Latin America achieve sustainable improvements in health sciences education and the delivery of health services.  HHH believes that through education and the development of international cross-cultural partnerships, health providers both in the US and abroad can better serve the health needs of the poorest of our brothers and sisters living here in the United States as well as abroad.


Gastronomy
October 24 - November 24, 2009









 

  
Korean Octopus- Richard Silver, Digital C-Print, 20" x 25"

Food can comfort. Food can disgust. Food can ignite.  The act of putting something into your mouth, into your body, can be transformative. Food preparation and presentation, undeniably an art itself, is the impetus behind Lana Santorelli's latest group show.  From the delicious to the atrocious, Gastronomy is an exhibition of artwork inspired by what we eat.

Daydream
September 19 - October 17, 2009





 

 

  
Swing- Ilana Kohn, Acrylic and Collage on Wood, 18" x 24"

The tattered softness of your favorite stuffed animal. Stretching your feet out to touch the clouds as your swing climbs higher and higher.  A boundless expanse of time sprawling before you, imagination running wild with possibility. As we grow older, we yearn for and try to reclaim the simplistic beauty of childhood.  We strive for this most priceless and difficult to attain element of youth: a free and open state of mind.
   
Exhibiting Artists: Walter Garcia, Kimberly Gaul, Stephanie Graegin, Angela Cazel Jahn, Ilana Kohn, Angie Lee, Basha Maryanska, Jessica Roller, Lana Santorelli, Mark G. Taber, Rin TERADA, Edina Tokodi/ Mosstika Group, and Lubomir Tomaszewski

 

Entropy
June 18 - September 12, 2009










  

 Molecule C, #18- Jagdish Prabhu, Smoke on Paper, 18” x 26”

Breaking down form into abstraction can create a powerful paradigm shift. It necessitates a special eye and, when successfully done, opens an artwork to greater and more diverse interpretations. Distilling materiality to intangibility was the focus of Entropy. Works ranged from enigmatic and ethereal, with drawings in smoke by Jagdish Prabhu and Heidi Thompson's intensely intuitive paintings, to the more earthly visceral oils by Deborah Zlotsky and Elaine Lorenz's anthropomorphic stoneware sculptures.
    
Artists: Pansum Cheng, Evan Conley, Kristin Gambell, Elaine Lorenz, Mike Nemire, Jagdish Prabhu, Lana Santorelli, Paul Seftel, Frank Sheehan, Merrill Steiger, Heidi Thompson, and Deborah Zlotsky 

 

New York, NY
April 25 - June 13, 2009









 
 
Mass- Jay Pingree, Acrylic on Canvas, 24" x 36"
 
New York is a different country. Maybe it ought to have a separate government. Everybody thinks differently, acts differently. They just don't know what the hell the rest of the United States is.
- Henry Ford

It's not the skyline that makes New York so unique; it's those who have created it.  It's the people that make this city stand out- their energy, fortitude, and overwhelming diversity. New York, NY was a love letter from seventeen artists to the city. From the solitary, architectural calm of John Belardo's sculpture, Statue of Liberty's Geodesic Face, to Jay Pingree's discussion of collective identity of the crowd in his painting, Mass, New York, NY brought together artwork inspired by the city it calls home.

Exhibiting Artists:  Jonathan Allen, John Belardo, Craig Blankenhorn, Zesopol C. Caminha, Matthew Dayler, Larry Dvoskin, Brian Hamill, Allison Malinsky, Ella Manor, Suyeon Na, Chad Nelson, Jay Pingree, Lana Santorelli, Claudia Sbrissa, Jodi Shapiro, Richard Silver, and Shi Ying Vicki Yang

Untitled 59 (Rainbow Beauty), Moving Colors Series- Ella Manor, Digital Chromogenic Print, 13" x 20"

Small Works
October 23 - November 25, 2008









 

 
Spyral Ryders #1- Robin Ross, Oil and Digital Print on Canvas, 6" x 6"
 
With the uncertainty of the economy, comes the thought to downsize.  At Lana Santorelli Gallery take this idea literally and thus came about Small Works.  Art is a great investment even in financially unstable times.  Not only that, a great work of art is compelling, inspiring, thought provoking, and gives back in a way that surpasses monetary value.

Falling Away
September 4 - October 18, 2008









 

 
A Red Wind 1795- Carol Pfeffer, Chromogenic Light Transfer, 20" x 24"
 
The creative act lasts but a brief moment, a lightning instant of give-and-take, just long enough for you to level the camera and to trap the fleeting prey in your little box.
-Henri Cartier-Bresson


The ephemeral nature of life is a continual source of tension in art, both in the actual process of creating artwork and in that which inspires the work's conception.  With the passing of the seasons comes Lana Santorelli Gallery's latest group exhibition, Falling Away, which examines artists' contemplations on the transitory. 
 


Exhibiting Artists: Jessica Drenk, Joseph Farbrook, James Frazo, Margaret Inga, Kiseok Kim, Songyi Kim, Carol Pfeffer, Lana Santorelli, Natalie Tyler, Heayeon Yoon

Mesmerize - Bess Sobota

But every artist was a contemporary in his time. No one was born an old master.
-Don Rubell, art collector whose collection is celebrated in art circles worldwide and is well-known for never buying established artists, opting to always find artists in the earliest stages of their careers

It is exciting to have a chance to view potential in its earliest, freshest form. This show introduced to the public our picks for our favorite young emerging artists. Artists were between the ages of 18-30 years old and many have had minimal representation in Hamptons galleries thus far.

Travel

Travel - Burt Young

Ahhh... the lure of the open road- unknown spaces, new faces, experiences like no other. Something within your core tugs at your sleeves, peeks your curiosity, urges you to explore. The exhibition showcased artwork that has captured the essence of what it means to travel. Burt Young, the Academy Award nominated actor, has proven himself a powerful force as a painter. The Los Angeles- based actor has starred in more than seventy-five films and is best known for playing Paulie in the Rocky movies. Here, he teams up with Santorelli, the multi-talented artist praised for her emotionally evocative artwork and writing.
