The Mindy Wyatt gallery is pleased to announce an exhibition of paintings by Brian Gormley, which features some of his largest and most powerful works to date. This show marks a long overdue return to his native New York by the artist maudit and perennial ‘outsider’, whose hyper-retinal painting style has long flown just beneath the radar of the art world elite, and will debut his largest scale canvas yet, the timely “Revenge of the Mayan calendar” (120”x185”). Gormley expands the discourse of contemporary art with his pioneering use of color technology and juxtaposed sampling of silkscreen abstraction. Gormley’s paintings are indebted to the vitality of New York’s streets as well as to the energy of Street Art. These multilayered canvases are intricate, sophisticated works attest that their maker is all about risk-taking. As the distinguished Irish critic Brian Fallon has noted, Gormley continues to expand upon a style which is Sui Generis”. Gormley’s paintings were recently featured in the museum show, “Studio in the Street, Street in the Studio” alongside works by Basquiat and Haring at the Brattleboro Museum in Vermont. He has exhibited regularly at the prestigious Hillsboro fine art gallery in Dublin, as well as in Vienna, Prague, Zurich, Rome and Mexico City. Gormley’s etching, The Malting Tower, is currently on view at the Ireland Museum of Modern Art, as part of Graphic Studio Dublin’s 50th anniversary.

narrative and revolutionary style.
The Enger Brothers have spent the past two decades reflecting the social, political and
artistic landscapes of American history through a unique outlaw-rock lens, gaining
attention. Born in Fort Sill, Oklahoma, the Enger Brothers grew up surrounded by military
officers, archeologists and Native Americans; both of these groups continue to resonate
within the works on view. The twin brothers moved to New York where they established
themselves downtown as artists, making unique paintings and silkscreen prints.

Rafik is proud to present The Immortality Project, a group show exploring artists' meditations on death. Video, painting, drawing, collage and sculpture will be presented.
Life can be summed up as an elaborate and convoluted race against death. This is evident in many symbolic human actions, most dramatically in the creation of art. The artist creates a legacy of ideas and images that will transcend death. This show is a survey of artist's musings on death: attempts to outrun it through exercise, prayer, drugs, and the immortal artwork itself.
