Featured artists include Bo Bartlett, Whitney Bedford, Tomory Dodge, April Gornik, Isca Greenfield-Sanders, Warren Isensee, Raffi Kalenderian, Markus Linnenbrink, Michael Reafsnyder, and Patrick Wilson.
In conjunction with the exhibition at our 525 West 22nd Street gallery, we look forward to presenting a solo booth of works on paper by April Gornik at the ADAA's The Art Show, opening 27 February.
Organized annually by the Art Dealers Association of America (ADAA), The Art Show offers intimately scaled and thoughtfully curated presentations of the highest quality—fostering active conversations with gallerists, new relationships, and close looking at works by artists from a variety of genres, practices, and national and international origins. With a history of programming that ranges from artist performances to dynamic keynote presentations, The Art Show provides its audience with a wide scope of cultural experiences, meaningful interactions, and illuminating exposure to phenomenal works of art.

Building a New Sanctuary on Long Island for Culture Lovers
In Sag Harbor, April Gornik and Eric Fischl are converting a former church into a community arts center.
We are delighted to share two additional reviews of April Gornik's current solo exhibition in Painters on Painting and Chelsea News.
April Gornik’s Sunset, 2018—one among the twelve new landscape paintings in her current exhibition at Miles McEnery Gallery—appears as though it might be plugged into an electrical socket. Along the horizon, halfway between a malevolent sky and an inky sea, a stripe of brilliant incandescence worthy of Vermeer lights up storm clouds, choppy waters, and, one would imagine, the entire gallery if it were darkened. Symbolism, Romanticism, Luminism, and feminism have all been cited in regard to Gornik’s work. Indeed, her reimagined versions of natural phenomena are as rich a field for interpretation as the writings of Herman Melville or Ralph Waldo Emerson.
Artists April Gornik and Eric Fischl team up with architect Lee Skolnick to create an incubator for artists in Sag Harbor.
Artist Eric Fischl is standing under the eaves of Sag Harbor’s deconsecrated First Methodist Church, currently a construction site he visits almost daily. More than a year ago, Fischl and his wife, artist April Gornik, purchased the building to return it to its original intent as a community gathering place.
Featuring works by gallery artists Inka Essenhigh, April Gornik, Amy Bennett, and Isca Greenfield-Sanders, new book Landscape Painting Now: From Pop Abstraction to New Romanticism presents a global survey of landscape painting in the 21st century. Including work by more than 80 outstanding artists, the book highlights the thriving genre of landscape painting in the contemporary world, while also reflecting upon its origins.
The Katonah Museum of Art is pleased to present:

NEW YORK, NEW YORK – MILES McENERY GALLERY is pleased to announce its representation of April Gornik.
April Gornik’s masterfully rendered paintings depict radiant and atmospheric scenes of the land, sea, and sky. Working in oil paint, Gornik captures the subtle nature of light with its capacity to simultaneously illuminate and obscure. By combining the literal with the imagined, her paintings possess an intimate, ethereal quality that invites personal contemplation by the viewer. As Gornik expresses, “I am an artist that values, above all, the ability of art to move me emotionally and psychically. I make art that makes me question, that derives its power from being vulnerable to interpretation, that is intuitive, that is beautiful.”
