PRESS RELEASE

Madelyn Jordon Fine Art is very pleased to present LOOK FORWARD, LOOK BACK a group exhibition featuring works by David Kimball Anderson, Marit Geraldine Bostad, Antonio Carreno, Austin Eddy, Adam Handler, Oded Halahmy, Eugene Healy, Catherine Howe, Wosene Worke Kosrof, Hunt Slonem, and Rebecca Stern. The exhibition will run from January 15 - March 13, 2021. The opening reception is on Saturday, January 16th, 2021 from 12:00 pm - 5:00 pm.

It is fair to say that 2020 will go down in history. We were forced out of our comfort zones and adapted quickly to unprecedented circumstances.  We struggled, lost, and found a way through.  This is why we are kicking off 2021 with a new group exhibition, LOOK FORWARD, LOOK BACK.  We are on the precipice of a year of promising milestones.  

At the same time, MJFA is celebrating its twentieth anniversary.  Naturally, we have begun to look back at our history and the artists and friends who have traveled with us through the past decades.  We have much to be grateful for.  And as we continue to reflect, we embrace the future, and welcome the artists who have more recently broken in to the art world.

We are excited to showcase a vibrant collection of work that both reflects our own journey, as well as those we support, and promotes an upbeat outlook on the new year.  Artists Hunt Slonem, Adam Handler, Marit Geraldine Bostad, and Wosene Kosrof are particularly concerned with the power and vibrancy of color to create works brimming with energy.  Austin Eddy and Eugene Healy’s structured paintings reference nature and love for the environment while Catherine Howe’s silk monotypes and Rebecca Stern’s cerebral abstractions are grounded in abstract beauty.  This is just the beginning, and we are hopeful that 2021 will prove to be a year of empowerment­. A bright future is ahead of us, and we look forward to sharing it with all of you.
