Selections from the Gallery Collection

Gallery Henoch is pleased to present Selections from the Gallery Collection, a group exhibition featuring notable works by gallery artists and others. The show will run from September 11 to October 4, 2025.

Since its founding in 1982 by director George Henoch Shechtman, Gallery Henoch has maintained a strong commitment to representational painting and realism. This focus is reflected throughout the current exhibition, where technical skill, art historical reverence, and varied approaches to storytelling unify the works on view.

American realist painter Bo Bartlett places his figures in surreal and dreamlike contexts that suggest complex layers of conscious and unconscious meaning. In both The Prayers and Fugue, he invites us to contemplate the mystery of female subjects situated within symbolic settings.

Inspired by his surroundings, John Evans creates loosely abstracted landscapes as illustrated in the painting, French Field. He is drawn to bright colors, applying them liberally to his paintings. The result is a landscape that blurs the line between realism and lush sensory experience.

Raymond Han draws inspiration from classical art, and from painters such as Morandi and Poussin. His realist still lifes, like Alice and Ostrich Egg, are full of purposefully placed objects that suggest an underlying narrative.

Also focusing on thoughtfully chosen subject matter, Robert C. Jackson constructs elaborate scenes from thrifted Americana-centered figurines and soda crates, playfully manipulating the viewer with masterfully rendered trompe l’œil elements. Often, Jackson’s paintings convey a deeper meaning despite their lightheartedness.

David Kassan  is known for life size portraits that employ realism to convey the truth he sees within his subjects. Intrigued by the subtlety of emotion, Kassan focuses upon the intensity of each individual’s gaze and stance. Through these powerful portraits Kassan aspires to bring viewers closer to the universal human experience.

Will Wilson utilizes traditional methods to create his realistic yet satirical paintings. In Beveled, his mastery of illusion is showcased with a mirrored border reflecting various angles of the portrait. Wilson’s intention is to trigger a memorable and personal experience with each piece.
