Abstract Expressionist painter Sharone Halevy will be exhibiting three new bodies of work in a unique gallery installation, Postcards From, at St. John’s Lutheran Church (155 Milton St, Brooklyn, NY) from April 12-29, 2023.
Having spent the summers of 2021 and 2022 in the north of Iceland and the southwest of Finland respectively, Sharone created three new bodies of work through residencies of thoughtful isolation and deep reflection. This gave Sharone a new appreciation for artistic and personal solitude, where she was able to explore these concepts through her paintings.
Postcards From is a multi-sensory exhibition that shares the paintings and photography created in both countries and the processes that led to their creation.
With paintings hung in the sanctuary of St. John’s Lutheran Church in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, audiences will be able to delve into the visual details of each work with an audio component narrated by Sharone. So, please bring headphones with you, or if you need, there will be ones provided.
We invite you to come look at art, listen to some stories and find your own space of reflection.
Sharone Halevy is a New York City commission-based abstract expressionist. Her paintings are influenced by her and her clients’ stories, inspirations, and hopes. Sound is foundational to Sharone’s process, so when creating a commission, she collaborates with her clients to provide music which informs the paintings she creates. Sharone is now creating work for clients all over the world: from New York to LA, Israel, London, Canada, South Africa, and Australia. Her work has been created live for audiences during original performance piece UNTITLED ’54 about the life of Helen Frankenthaler which was in residence at The New Ohio Theater as well live painting as various weddings in which she captured the heart and energy of the day at venues such as Handsome Hollow and The Kester Homestead. WOMXN IN POWER, Sharone’s original sketch series, was exhibited at the 14th Street Y in Manhattan. Her paintings have also been exhibited in the New York Art Fair, Teal Canvas, Gallery 104 in SoHo.
