Max Ferguson's work was reviewed in both Professional Artist magazine and The Artist Magazine's September issues. Of his process, Ferguson says, "I like my work to be beautiful. [...] I love antiquities and old buildings. I prefer an old piece of furniture with a patina and cracks." Still, Ferguson doesn't characterize himself as nostalgic. "I'm not so concerned with the past as I am capturing these things for future generations." Read both of these articles online here.

| Godbee at Gallery Henoch 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. |

Gallery Henoch will host a book signing for Eric Zener on Saturday, March 19, 2011. The event will be accompanied by a selected showing of the artist's paintings. The event is free and open to the public. Art Publishing Ltd published the 250 page hardbound book. It catalogs Zener's career as an artist who has explored his ideas through painting, video, sculpture, and resin. Readers will explore 151 color prints that are accompanied by 25 essays and reflections on the work. Contributors include Gerry Haggerty, Robert Ayers, Billy Getty, and George Henoch Shechtman, among others. This exhaustive monograph explores his many depictions of figures suspended in water or surrounded by the natural world. His work questions what happens to us when we are alone in nature. Much like a sensory deprivation chamber, these scenarios expose the drama of when the physiological intersects with psychological. Zener's most potently resourced metaphors utilize water for its cocoon-like envelopments and its buoyant yet renewing qualities. |

Art critic Gerard Haggerty calls Max Ferguson's paintings "meticulously rendered and thoughtfully composed" in the February issue of ARTnews. Ferguson concentrates on images associated with an older New York (Coney Island, mom-and-pop shops, etc.), which stems not so much from nostalgia as it does from a desire to capture things while they are still here. Many of the subjects he has painted have already gone the way of the wrecking ball, or been renovated beyond recognition. As Ferguson puts it, "It is at once both crushing to see them gone, but very gratifying to know I have preserved them, at least in paint." Ferguson learned the discipline for his meticulously rendered paintings while doing animated films as a teenager, graduating from New York University film school in 1980. But it was while spending a year at an art school in Amsterdam that his interest switched to painting. He developed an enduring admiration for Dutch seventeenth-century painters and has sought to integrate their concern for craftsmanship with contemporary urban realism.

State of the Arts presents an intimate look at the life and work of renowned realist painter, respected professor, family man, and Trenton native, Mel Leipzig. Filmed over the course of three years, the program highlights Leipzig’s work as well as the close friendships and family bonds that serve as his inspiration. Mel Leipzig: Everything is Paintable airs Thursday, January 27 at 8 pm on NJN1; from Friday, January 28 through Thursday, February 3 at 5 pm and 11 pm on NJN2. Now in his 70s, Mel Leipzig, known for drawing from real life to produce work that incorporates elaborate detail and unique perspective, finds himself more deeply immersed than ever in the work that has gained him high praise throughout the art world. His large realist paintings resonate with art enthusiasts of all ages. |

During this half-hour special, producer Eric Shultz sits down with Leipzig to discuss the veteran painter’s career, which spans over three decades. Shultz talks with Leipzig’s family, including two of his favorite subjects – his children Francesca and Joshua – and with the artist’s students at Mercer County Community College, where he has taught art history and painting for many years. For decades, Leipzig painted only his family and close friends. After the sudden death of his wife Mary Jo a few years ago, Leipzig began a series of paintings of religious leaders, artists, and architects including Michael Graves and Robert Venturi. Leipzig’s works are in collections at the White House, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Yale University Art Gallery, the National Endowment for the Arts, the New Jersey State Museum, and the Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum in New York.

Of this subject matter, Ferguson says, "I'm very into the idea of preserving things that are disappearing. Sometimes I will read about something that's about to be demolished or a store that's about to close after being open for 100 years, so I run there."
