The montage of faces and bodies in the painting titled, “Them,” by artist, Robert Padilla, depicts life in a manner that many people often ignore, and at times find intrusive. Padilla, with a compassionate eye, connects with his subjects and eloquently elevates the homeless with the dignity and grace that every human being deserves. A NEW HOME, is a new show that opens at Detour Gallery in Red Bank on November 30, at 6 pm. Patrons should pause for a moment to grasp the meaning of the expression, “There but for the grace of God go I,” and be humbled by it and to acknowledge it could be you, me or someone we love, whose life has spiraled away from them.

Life is wickedly funny, painfully serious, yet whimsical and if you’re blessed with longevity to see it come full circle, then it’s a miracle. The juxtaposition of hard and soft. Good and bad. Black and white, layered in a social commentary of wrong and right. Timely. This is what you will see when the show, From the Heart, featuring the work of artist, James Andrew Brown, opens at Detour Gallery on September 7, at 6 pm.  
 

Detour was all abuzz at the recent opening of “Unprecedented,” the show featuring artist, Julia Rivera, whose work is a rhapsody of social commentary. It speaks directly to people from all walks of life, persuasions and incomes, who flock toward the TRUTH these days, amid a zeitgeist of lies.

The young Minnesota-based painter is making his east coast debut this weekend at Detour Gallery in Red Bank, New Jersey.

In the oil and acrylic paintings of Samual Weinberg, the artist’s narratives pit his violent, cartoonish “Pinkmen” against the “Realies,” based on real characters and art historical figures. This clash of style and tone create absorbing scenes crafted at the hand of the artist, often looming large in size and action.

Michael Callas’s paintings look like familiar images from the visual lexicon—only viewed through the eyes of someone on an acid trip. Rooted in Pop art, street art, graphic design, and drafting, his paintings are done entirely with spray paint and stencils.
 

His new exhibition at Detour Gallery in Red Bank, New Jersey, titled “Case Study (Southern Modern),” features a group of paintings made over the last five years. Many of the works, grouped in sets, share the same imagery but are rendered in wildly different color pallets. At first, the gesture seems like a play on the commodification and mass-production of art, or maybe just an excuse to use the same stencil more than once. But the meaning is subtler—and darker—than that.

In regards of his solo exhibition "LaBua", Industry Magazine interviews Michael LaBua on his inspirations and life as an artist.

This weekend, Detour Gallery presents "Re-America," a group exhibition featuring works from Caribbean and South American artists, as well as Latin American artists living in the United States. Paintings, mixed media and sculptures range from figurative to abstract. The show was curated by Julia Rivera, a Puerto Rican artist from Freehold.

Schapira and Grunewald both believe in art for art’s sake and derive influence from each other. Their collaborative works convey the absurdity of contemporary existence, evoking the intensity of psychosis through bold color and erratic shapes. This can be seen in their “Ambition Man” series, which depicts abstract figurative forms against expressionist backdrops. The men in this series are constructed out of imagery related to professionalism and success such as cars, business suits, and vices. These pieces perfectly encapsulate the professional and creative drive of the entrepreneurs-turned-artists, who exhibit a steadfast devotion to their work and art.
