G Fine Art Finds New Home in H Street Corridor

| ART OPENINGS |

The long circulating rumor that G Fine Art was looking for an H Street NE location has in fact become a reality!  G Fine Art opened its doors at its new 1350 Florida Avenue NE location on Saturday, March 20.  G Fine Art is located right next door to Conner Contemporary and Industry Gallery both of whom had  Saturday opening shows as well.

Currently on Display is a collection of work by A.B. Miner called "Naked".  Miner's intimately scaled self portraits are radical for their obsessively painted surfaces and raw emotional content. Primarily through the use of impastoed oil paint, but also via pencil drawings and for the first time film, the artist's diaristic practice documents the permeability of flesh, a struggle for control over the body, and the limits of emotional resilience. The exhibition Naked takes its title from a painted diptych in the exhibition, which shows on one side what Miner’s paintings look like in their earlier iterations, pencil on board, and on the other the finished product with the disjointed planes of vibrant color he has become known for.

Like Naked, all of the exhibition’s works reveal what the artist and many people hide from the outside world. Concealing inner turmoil and bodily irregularities and remaining elusive about the details of a creative process are themes Miner hopes will resonate with viewers. In “From There to Here,” a twelve-panel progression of paintings spanning 16 feet and made between 2007 and 2010, Miner chronicles one year of healing scars. 

Gallery Hours are Wednesday - Saturday, Noon - 6 PM.  Address: 1350 Florida Ave., NE Washington, DC 20002 | T. 202.462.1601 | www.gfineartdc.com
