We are proud to introduce an accomplished artist in mid-career, Jeremy Down, who challenges the New New esthetics in a radically personal way. His work is shaped both, in two, and in three dimensions, projecting into the room. Jeremy has been painting seriously for almost 20 years, and his ambition is reflected in the several international exhibitions he has been asked to participate in.

Many years ago, Jeremy visited the studios of the New New Painters, because he was genuinely intrigued by their work and their contribution to the canon of contemporary painting. After many years of searching in both, his abstract painting, and in his landscape painting, Jeremy Down is now at the height of his powers, producing work that can hold its own with anyone, enriching the contemporary idiom in a unique and formally accomplished way.

Opening Reception:

Beginning this Fall we have started to organize exhibitions of artists in artistic “conversations” with the New New movement. The first of those was “Greg Angus-Encaustics”. “The Paintings Shaped by Mountains: Jeremy Down” is our second such exhibition. The third will be “New Work by Jiri Malik,” scheduled for early next spring.
