Elisa Contemporary Art presents Dive In 2020 -- our new Rivedale NY Gallery exhibit.    We plunge into the Summer Season with underwater swimmers, Surfers,  poolside scenes, and water and beach-inspired artwork. 

Featured artists are: Hawaii artist Carol Bennett and Marfa artist Martha Hughes.

While each artwork communicates a playful summer feel, there is often a deeper meaning and significance as well.  Each has a different relationship and significance for focusing on water and the surrounding areas. Bennett uses water as a meditative journey through space and life. The surfers and surfboards are part of a recent series.

This Pool Scene series by Martha Hughes, communicates a sense of never quite "being at home in the world" through her ambiguous spaces and bold colors.

The exhibit will run through Summer 2020 opening on July 8.

Elisa Contemporary Art is located at 5622 Mosholu Avenue, Riverdale NY.  Open Wednesdays 12-5pm and by Appointment. 

All Safety protocols in place with in gallery limit to 4 people, masks required and social distancing in place.  Appointments requested at 212.729.4974 or Lisa@ElisaArt.com
