BREAKOUT ARTIST UZO NJOKU ON HER NEW SHOW AT VOLTZ CLARKE GALLERY
With her Hockney level talent, Uzo Njoku is the name to know in the art world right now. The buzzy newcomer has just opened her first exhibition, A Space of My Own, with Voltz Clarke Gallery in New York. She tells The Daily how she feels about being dubbed a breakout star and her unconventional path to success.
The Voltz Clarke Gallery will be offering contemporary artist Uzo Njoku the space for her first-ever solo exhibition in New York City.
New York’s Voltz Clarke Gallery is mounting “Variations,” an exhibition of linear paintings by artist Joshua Avery Webster, on view in the solarium throughout the Palm Beach season. Additionally, a work entitled Hammon Avenue by Voltz Clarke artist Bradley Sabin adorns the Colony mezzanine, surrounding a scalloped-back love seat upholstered in an exuberant print featuring a swirl of 150 sculptural magnolia blossoms.
The solo exhibition, which is on display at The Colony Hotel, features paintings by Joshua Avery Webster, who uses color to create unforgettable visual experiences.
Field Kallop’s pair of paintings are the focal point of “Inside a Charming Fifth Avenue Home That’s Big on Personality” in Architectural Digest.
Meet Blair Clarke, the force behind Voltz Clarke Gallery. While she’s been a New Yorker for nearly two decades – even staying in the city through the lockdown – she remains a true Southerner at heart. As we await the return of in-person interactions (read: hugs), Blair found a few ways to embrace the change, including a new gallery space in the LES. Read on for their upcoming shows, plus a few of Blair’s faves, from face masks to reading material.
Travel and landscapes inspire artist Heather Chontos as she transforms the view of European mountain ranges into abstract forms on the surface of her canvases, focusing her Abstract Expressionist work on penetrative marks and saturated fields of color.
