New Exhibit: New paintings by Glenn Garver- Starts January 28, 2021

Jersey City/Hoboken Painter Glenn Garver's newest works are featured for February and March 2021 at Dvora.
Garver's bold abstractions are constructed of sweeping movements of paint and solid, flat geometric forms and planes that create an energized field of activity. This dynamic painting space balances between pictorial illusion and the physicality of Garver's raw, undisguised materials of canvas and paint.

Dvora Pop-Up Gallery  will be presenting continual solo exhibitions of Jersey City area artists  for 2021!
The newly finished storefront space is located in the ground floor of the Oakman building and is fully wheelchair accessible.
Parking is available directly in front of the entrance.  Drawing Rooms' directors are working in collaboration with Shuster Management as part of The Art Project to create exhibit opportunities for artists in Jersey City.

Fall 2020 EXHIBIT : The Work of David W. Cummings and Beatrice M. Mady

The exhibit celebrates the life and work of David W. Cummings, a life lived together with Beatrice M. Mady; the couple's work is full of shapes and symbols, and their message is in living color. 

David came of age as a painter in the mid to late 1960s. He immersed himself in the Bay Area Figurative Painting scene in San Francisco and soaked in the California light. Then he moved to New York and spent  the 70s painting and exhibiting in Soho and beyond, and was featured in a survey of abstract painting that traveled to museums across the country before finally arriving at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York City. In 1977 he met Beatrice when he was  giving a lecture at Pratt where she was studying for her MFA. The two started a relationship as artists and a romance that would span four decades. 

By the early 1980’s, David and Beatrice had married and left their Soho loft behind, finding a factory building in the Jersey City Heights neighborhood of JC, and converting it into living/studio spaces. Pioneers in the Jersey City art scene, they were among the early artists who came to Jersey City and formed relationships with many of the artists in the building fondly referred to as “The 111”. Beatrice helped build the arts community through her active participation, support and encouragement in Pro Arts, as a Professor and Gallery Director at St. Peter’s University, and, of course, her artwork.


David passed from us suddenly last year, but he left the brilliance of his work for us to keep. We are excited to exhibit his and Beatrice’s works together highlighting the exciting ways these two artists' works developed and interacted with each other.
