Detour Gallery Update

"My name is Victoria Steel, and I would like to introduce myself to you all. I am extremely honored to announce that I am taking over the position of Gallery Director of Detour Gallery.
As some of you may have read in our last newsletter, Rune Egenes will be leaving us at the end of this month (April 2021) to head back to his homeland of Norway. Rune has been an integral part of the gallery and local arts community since the very beginning of the Detour Project. Stepping into his shoes will surely be a challenge."

From Despair to A New Home

From Despair to A New Home

Artist Robert Padilla Sees the Light

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.

From The Heart / When Life Comes Full Circle

From The Heart / When Life Comes Full Circle

The Art of James Andrew Brown

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.  
 

The UNPRECEDENTED Truth of Julia Rivera

The UNPRECEDENTED Truth of Julia Rivera

By Gilda Rogers

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.

Samual Weinberg’s Painted ‘Pinkmen’ Narratives

Samual Weinberg’s Painted ‘Pinkmen’ Narratives

Hi-Fructose Article

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.

Jean-Michel Basquiat

Jean-Michel Basquiat

Detour Gallery is thrilled to announce our historic acquisition of “The Buzz Buzz Man” a marker and pen and ink on paper by the extraordinary twentieth-century artist, Jean Michel Basquiat. Created circa 1976 by the boisterous teenager while enrolled at City as School, “The Buzz Buzz Man” features a school tag on one side and three figures on the other. Amongst these three figures, we find the creative seed of his Untitled, 1982, which sold at auction for 57 million dollars in 2016.

Inside the Studio With Michael Callas, an L.A. Painter Whose Neo-Pop Canvases Go Nuclear

Inside the Studio With Michael Callas, an L.A. Painter Whose Neo-Pop Canvases Go Nuclear

A solo exhibition of Callas's paintings, "Case Study (Southern California Modern)," is on view now at Detour Gallery

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.

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.
