Clare Doran
Ezersky Gallery is thrilled to present two new charcoal drawings by the artist Clare Doran. Doran plays with line and shading to create images that unsettle our perception. She employs elements of abstraction and figuration to make uncanny ensembles. These works use recognizable items and familiar forms to create decidedly unfamiliar, perhaps even uncanny, images. Ezersky Gallery is thankful to Clare for sharing her work for viewing on our website.

Matt Herriot
Ezersky Gallery is proud to present two new paintings by the British artist Matt Herriot. A 2017 recipient of the Young Artist 1st Prize at the National Open Art Competition, Matt is now an undergraduate art student at Yale University. For his latest works, Herriot has traded oils for acrylics and the human form for domestic objects. Though most of his recent work has been made at home in London during Britain's COVID-19 lockdown, Herriot made these two paintings at his student apartment in New Haven, CT. Their soft colors and conspicuous brushwork communicate recognizable objects with the language of abstraction. Put differently, Herriot's figurative paintings demonstrate a sensitivity towards form and color more commonly found in effective abstract paintings. Ezersky Gallery is grateful for the opportunity to present these two paintings for viewing on our website.

Ezersky Gallery is proud to present its inaugural exhibition with works by Sarah Goldman and Sasha Oratz. Both young artists residing in Lower Manhattan, their work focuses largely on the female form. Through new explorations into color and texture, both artists reject the male gaze and render images of women as they see themselves. Incorporating a wide variety of influences, neither artist feels confined to making figurative work. Goldman’s series of pink monotypes reflects her ongoing examination of text and color. Oratz’s works on paper serve both as preparation for her larger works on canvas and as important elements of her practice in their own right. Ezersky Gallery is thrilled to launch with work by such promising young artists.

Sarah Goldman
Sarah Goldman is an artist working and living in New York City. Radical intersectional feminist theory and realities form dialogue through different degrees of abstraction in her painting practice. Rooted in the female experience, she addresses ways the female is often not seen, transparently vulnerable while also strong, endangered by the viewer while also resistant. Sarah is a passionate painter who works through the idea of painting as a spiritual and healing entity for both the artist and audience. Seeking the ability to address current politics while also maintaining an element of personal narrative through her work, she paints in order to find balance in a dangerous political climate.
Sasha December
Sasha December is an artist raised in New York and currently living and working in New York City. She attended Otis College of Art and Design and received her BFA in 2020. Her paintings of girls are more rooted in the physical world, as opposed to her intuitive abstract works that she often paints simultaneously. The works are products of an entanglement between love and hate, immersion and exclusion, longing, acceptance, and rejection, not fitting in, external and internal battles, emotional suppression, the internet, and a generation being influenced by influencers. Fueled by the happenings in her life that words can’t always describe, they are both extensions of her and also far removed.
