From the surreal characters portrayed within the pictorial compositions of the artist, Samual Weinburg, to the mashed-up paper collages found upon the works of the artist, Michael Falcon, Cognitive Dissonance is sure to provide you with plenty of artworks to immerse yourself in. DETOUR Gallery and The MAIN Beauty Co-Op, in collaboration, are proud to present our first exhibition titled, Cognitive Dissonance. This exhibition will be on display at The MAIN Beauty Co-Op, located at 150 W 30th Street Store, New York, NY 10001. We hope you can join us for our opening night! Cognitive Dissonance aims to bring attention to an eclectic and colorful bash of artworks from the collections of DETOUR Gallery. 

In a world now taken by virtual innovation, DETOUR GALLERY is proud to present our exclusive online Artsy exhibition, entitled A Dash of Blue. With immense excitement, we have decided to share an array of select pieces from our collection, all of which contain the common element of the color blue. 

"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."

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.

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.

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

Atle Østrem (1980) is an artist from Stavanger, Norway. He now lives and works in Oslo. Østrem has been painting graffiti since the mid 90s, and has been doing artwork on canvas since 2000.

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.
