"Yellow, Black and White,"
Richard Segalman, 2002. Oil on canvas.
NEW YORK CITY - Katharina Rich Perlow will exhibit "Richard
Segalman: - New Paintings" from January 11 to February 8.
The artist, an accomplished Brooklyn-born painter who studied
with Raphael Soyer and at The Art Students League, has shown
continuously throughout the United States for the past 30 years.
He is known for his romantic visions of women on beaches,
streets, gardens and especially in their dressing rooms.
A great influence on his work has been his mother, who worked as
a milliner during the Depression. As a young man, he was always
surrounded by hats, color and fabric and these are the objects
that inhabit his work.
Segalman works primarily in a realist mode, although his figures
are frequently simplified. Facial features are hidden and
nondescript and invite viewers to imagine them or to identify
them with their friends or selves. Because Segalman works from
live models, there is a sense of an intimate connection between
himself and the women in his work.
Gallery hours are Tuesday through Saturday, 10 am to 5:30 pm.
