Located at 702 Ninth Avenue at 48th Street in Manhattan, Fountain House Gallery showcases and sells artworks in a range of media by artists living and working with mental illness. While some of the artists are self-taught, others are graduates of prestigious art schools. And while some are emerging, others are established. All produce distinctly affecting images.
On view at the welcoming and vibrant non-profit space through December 22 is Small Works: $100 and Under, an enticing selection of dozens of small-scale works which can be purchased “off the wall.” The image featured above is a digital photograph by Fountain House artist Bradford Scott Stringfield of Judith Supine street art. What follows are several more artworks I captured while visiting the exhibit earlier this week:
Kathy Piper, Linoleum block print
Fiber artist Alyson Vega, Mixed media
Shey, The Prophet, Digital art on wood panel
Anthony Newton, Oil on wood panel
Gavin Dubblex Alleyne, Ink, spray paint and acrylic
Fountain House Gallery is open Tuesday to Saturday: 11am-7pm and Sunday: 1-5pm. Several additional artworks can be viewed and purchased here, as well.
