On view through October 23 at Fountain House Gallery is Heavy Sauce, a group exhibition featuring a diverse range of artworks by seven artists. Curated by Gerasimos Floratos, a local artist who has been attending Fountain House Gallery exhibits since his teens, Heavy Sauce presents several unique perceptions of our city — some created with acrylics and others with fabrics, collages and varied media. The image featured above, Times Square Day, was painted by Gary Peabody. A few more images of featured artworks follow:
Maybellene Gonzalez, Artist’s Quote, 2019, Acrylic on canvas
Alyson Vega, The Five Boroughs, 2019, Acrylic, wool felt, collage on canvas
Issa Ibrahim, Mad City, 2017, Acrylic and oil on canvas
