Dvora Gallery presents the alcohol ink paintings of Diane English and Bryant Small.  Mother and son, each artist has developed their own imagery and sensibility, engaging flowing color, linear structures and dynamic design. Diane discovered the medium first, then shared her love of the freedom and fluency of the brilliantly colored inks with Bryant. The two artists have live internet painting sessions almost every night, from D.C. to New Jersey, encouraging one another to push the boundaries of their art.

Dvora Pop-Up Gallery presents new works by Jersey City artist Bruce Halpin.
​
Halpin's paintings are objects that have both a balanced elegance and a rough simplicity, with muted colors that can suddenly meet a flash of brilliant hue. The refined geometry of his painted and wooden forms are best encountered in person. The subtle interaction of color, texture and surface topography in each work and their spatial relationships with one another will make for fascinating viewing in this largest showing of his works in recent years.
Bruce Halpin studied painting with Howard Buchwald, Elena Sisto, Paul Brown, Judy Pfaff, Arthur Danto, and Robert C. Morgan at Columbia University where he received his MFA in 1991 . Before that he studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and Muhlenberg College.He has been a fellow at the Edward F. Albee foundation and Artist in residence at the Allentown Art Center in Allentown, Pa. His work is in numerous public and private collections.

OPENING WEEKEND: June 4 & 5 (Fri, 6-8p, Sat, 3-7p)
MEET THE ARTIST: Tues, July 6, 6-8p

Dvora Pop-Up Gallery presents Balancing Act, new paintings by Jocelyn Fine. The Jersey City gallery will be filled with Fine's intense, glowing colors and dense, rounded shapes that seem to float from one painting to another. A set of black on white canvases counters the saturated color, revealing the subtle structural balance that runs throughout her work.

Jocelyn says, “My work is about movement and the juxtaposition of color, texture and form, and my journey to find balance and harmony. I am drawn to colors; the feelings that they evoke and the effect and intensity that they have when they share the same space. I am fascinated by the search for what lies beneath the surface, and by the process involved in creating something from nothing. My process is about adding on and wiping away, with each layer of paint and each brush stroke representing a moment in time, aging and also being reborn.“

​See a video interview with Jocelyn below.
New Jersey artist, Jocelyn Fine, comes from a family of artists and filmmakers. Her mother is a sculptor, her brother is a painter and animator, and her great-aunt, Rose Fried was one of the first female gallerists on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. Her art is heavily influenced by the New York School Artists of the 1940s and '50s. She received degrees in Art and Art History from the University of Vermont and her M.S. in Architectural and Painting Conservation from Columbia University. Jocelyn studied Painting Conservation at the Istituto Per l’Arte and il Restauro in Florence, Italy. Her work is in private collections throughout New York, Massachusetts and New Jersey.

OPENING DAY: 4/3/21, 4-7p
MEET THE ARTIST: Sunday, 6/6/21, 6-8p
 
Dvora Gallery presents Jersey City artist Sandra DeSando's recent multi-panel works on the origins and nature of the universe. Towering blocks of darkness and light, and saturated color forms overwritten by layers of emphatic, jagged line investigate questions of our existence on earth.
​
Sandra DeSando’s multi-panel paintings burst forth fully realized, following a lifetime of work in graphite and inks on paper. The intense interplay of color and form in these paintings is developed from her years of realistically rendered studies of light and shadow from nature and a translation of observation and experience into mark and line.
"The mystery of evolution is constantly on my mind. Perhaps it is my aging, or that last year’s shock, isolation, emotional exhaustion, fear, and worldwide disease, cast a curse on mine and our collective existence. The thought of how life began became nagging and bewildering. Evolution is so steeped in vagary, myth, god, unproved and new science and encompasses a timeline beyond our comprehension; it may have provided a safer, positive place for me to think then present day problems.  I did come to understand that living things continue to evolve.

I was pleasantly surprised that suddenly I started seeing scientific articles that helped me move forward in coming to terms with my queries."

Jersey City/Hoboken Painter Glenn Garver's newest works are featured for February and March 2021 at Dvora.

Glenn 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.
