Poets and Artists Magazine features Gallery Henoch artist Stephen Wright on the cover of the August issue.

The cover and 6 page interior spread features Stephen's newest series of portraits of fellow artist Alyssa Monks. Wright says, "At first it was going to be just one portrait. Since we are on opposite coasts, I asked Alyssa if she could take some shots of herself in her iconic bathtub (sans water)...Surprised with the wide range of emotions she portrayed, I couldn't stop at just one painting, and so wound up doing a series."

Bischoff on Art

The Star Ledger Art Critic, Dan Bishoff, highlights Gallery Henoch's Summer Group Show of realist painters and sculptors, including new gallery artist Gary Godbee and Mel Leipzig.

Through Sept. 3, the Gallery Henoch in Manhattan is hosting its “Summer Show” of realists; Gallery Henoch also shows Mercer County College painter Mel Leipzig, and realism is its particular stock in trade. And this year, for the first time, the gallery has included Jersey artist Gary Godbee, whose meticulous landscapes, which often appear to be done from some magisterial height, are featured.

Godbee has taught at the Yard School of Art in the Montclair Art Museum since 1993, and his work has been familiar in regional exhibitions for years. The way he stands out from his fellow Jersey panorama artists — such as Valeri Larko and Rackstraw Downes — has always been his subtle taste for atmospheric color combined with an almost Where’s Waldo sense of humor. His landscapes are so precisely done that they drag you toward searching for the painterly bit that tells you it’s not a photograph, and the hunt can make you miss something lugubrious in his straight-as-a-ruler horizon lines that stop a perspective created entirely by receding colors. It’s a complex gift.

Gallery Henoch is at 555 W. 25th St. Open 10:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesdays to Saturdays. Free. For more information, call (917) 305-0003 or visit galleryhenoch.com.
