Adler/Beegan Exhibition at Arthur T. Kalaher Fine Art Brings Abstract Expressionism into the 21st Century     SOUTHAMPTON, NY, USA OCTOBER 28, 2011     ANDREW HART ADLER / CAROLYN BEEGAN:  FOR 4 HANDS     Arthur T. Kalaher Fine Art Gallery 28E Jobs Lane Southampton, NY 11968 631-204-0383      Exhibition Dates November 26 - December 17, 2011 Monday to Saturday:  10:00 am to 6:00 pm Sunday: 11:00 am to 5:00 pm     Opening Reception Saturday, November 26, 2011- 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm      This event is free and open to the public     Arthur T. Kalaher Fine Art has invited celebrated New York artists, Andrew Hart Adler and Carolyn Beegan to exhibit their collaborative works in the Southampton gallery over the holiday season.  The artists have created a true artistic “montage,” melding a collage of digital photographs and abstract expressionist painting into a cohesive, contemporary whole.   For those of you who can’t get enough of the Abstract Expressionists despite the monumental ABEX Show earlier this year and the current de Kooning retrospective at the MOMA, you will appreciate this duo’s work.  The Adler/Beegan combined works reflect consistent Abstract Expressionist themes, while at the same time interpreting them through a 21st century lens.  “True art collectors will immediately embrace these works not only because they represent a novel approach to Abstract Expressionism, but because they actively tease you between figure and abstraction and they have such vivid color and emotion,” says Arthur Kalaher, owner of the gallery.  “Both of them are important artists on their own, so when they come together collaboratively they create artistic synergy.  These pieces have such deep emotional impact and precise technique.”   Andrew Hart Adler was mentored by Willem de Kooning, one of the most important Abstract Expressionist artists of the 20th century.  His solo paintings grace the esteemed collections of the Center Georges Pompidou, Paris’ famous center for modern and contemporary art, the Parrish Art Museum in Southampton NY, the Nasher Museum at Duke University NC, among many others.  He has exhibited in many prestigious galleries around the world throughout his artistic career.       Carolyn Beegan is also a well-known painter and former flame of celebrity Billy Joel.  She considers herself “self-taught,” because her formal education is in computer science, which has actually become key in her collaboration with Adler as her manipulated digital images become the “primed” canvas from which Adler paints.  Her solo paintings are part of numerous well-respected private collections including:  rarified art collector/dealer Larry Gagosian, business magnate Ron Perelman, and celebrity entertainer Elton John, among many others.        “They have developed a unique creative process that melds complex digital photographic manipulation and physical hand-paint work in an iterative, repetitive sequence,” Arthur Kalaher describes.  “It is very original!”  Their work is relevant in the 21st century because it reflects the continued infusion of technology and digital media into our every day lives to the point where the lines between it and physical reality are blurred, just as in their pieces.  “Once you know how they created their works, you see the works in a completely new light, which makes them even more stimulating and inspiring,” explains Mr. Kalaher.   This is definitely one of the must-see exhibitions of the holiday season, especially if you are interested in seeing how 21st century art is evolving and coming into its own.     Please feel free to call or e-mail the gallery owner, Arthur T. Kalaher, if you need any further information or have questions.  Please contact by e-mail if this release is used for print, online, or any other form of press publication.

Arthur T. Kalaher Fine Art has invited celebrated New York artists, Andrew Hart Adler and Carolyn Beegan to exhibit their collaborative works in the Southampton gallery over the holiday season.  The artists have created a true artistic “montage,” melding a collage of digital photographs and abstract expressionist painting into a cohesive, contemporary whole.

 

For those of you who can’t get enough of the Abstract Expressionists despite the monumental ABEX Show earlier this year and the current de Kooning retrospective at the MOMA, you will appreciate this duo’s work.  The Adler/Beegan combined works reflect consistent Abstract Expressionist themes, while at the same time interpreting them through a 21st century lens.  “True art collectors will immediately embrace these works not only because they represent a novel approach to Abstract Expressionism, but because they actively tease you between figure and abstraction and they have such vivid color and emotion,” says Arthur Kalaher, owner of the gallery.  “Both of them are important artists on their own, so when they come together collaboratively they create artistic synergy.  These pieces have such deep emotional impact and precise technique.”

 

Andrew Hart Adler was mentored by Willem de Kooning, one of the most important Abstract Expressionist artists of the 20th century.  His solo paintings grace the esteemed collections of the Center Georges Pompidou, Paris’ famous center for modern and contemporary art, the Parrish Art Museum in Southampton NY, the Nasher Museum at Duke University NC, among many others.  He has exhibited in many prestigious galleries around the world throughout his artistic career.    

 

Carolyn Beegan is also a well-known painter and former flame of celebrity Billy Joel.  She considers herself “self-taught,” because her formal education is in computer science, which has actually become key in her collaboration with Adler as her manipulated digital images become the “primed” canvas from which Adler paints.  Her solo paintings are part of numerous well-respected private collections including:  rarified art collector/dealer Larry Gagosian, business magnate Ron Perelman, and celebrity entertainer Elton John, among many others.     

 

“They have developed a unique creative process that melds complex digital photographic manipulation and physical hand-paint work in an iterative, repetitive sequence,” Arthur Kalaher describes.  “It is very original!”  Their work is relevant in the 21st century because it reflects the continued infusion of technology and digital media into our every day lives to the point where the lines between it and physical reality are blurred, just as in their pieces.  “Once you know how they created their works, you see the works in a completely new light, which makes them even more stimulating and inspiring,” explains Mr. Kalaher.
