Opening reception Saturday, Sept. 22, 6:30 – 8:30 PUBLIC INVITED

Kenise Barnes Fine Art is pleased to announce David Konigsberg’s second solo and second inclusion in a group exhibition at the gallery. 

We are thrilled to be kicking off our fall season with Konigsberg’s painterly landscapes.  Please join us for the opening and wine reception to welcome the artist and celebrate this new body of work.  We will publish a catalogue in conjunction with this solo exhibition. 

“In Konigsberg’s work, the viewer becomes cognizant of a duality between the lush painterly surface and the mysterious narrative of the composition.  His surfaces are modulated between open, scumbled brushwork and bottomless, velvety blacks.  The paintings are visually rewarding and viscerally pleasurable.  The drama of the subject matter, whether it is nature, fantastical airships or scenes from domestic life, is rich with implied history, folly, fragility and the illusiveness of the everyday.”           
2012, Kenise Barnes, director

The artist’s work has been shown widely in the United States, reviewed on numerous occasions by the New York Times and featured on the popular television series Gossip Girl.

The artist lives and works in New York, NY and Ghent, New York.
