Bond Street Gallery is pleased to introduce our grand re-opening group exhibition: New Americana. Christina Kerns curates a show pulling artists from across the US in media ranging from painting to sculpture.

The changes in American art over the past 50 years culminate in a post-pop art, post neo-dada, post-post modernism movement: New Americana. Through subtle and not so subtle intensity these creators share commonality through uncommon media. The work chosen reflects a neutralization of details and rendering as well as a borrowing of ideas, literal objects, and imagery. This exhibit takes new authority through perversion of former artistic chapters. In New Americana symbolic imagery diverges from the literal Campbell Soup Cans of Warhol, and American Flag of Johns, but still remains the iconography associated with their movements. The populace in New Americana capture, mock, disrespect, honor, and even love the current world with their imagery, all the while drawing from past thinkers and commentators.

New Americana has works from the following artists:

Joseph Cavalieri Evan Chamberlain Angela Conant Alicia Flannery Dustin Hinson Christina Kerns Jack McCoubrey Elizabeth Meluch Valerie Patterson Chauney Peck Pontius de La Polaroid Robert Spinazzola Brian Whiteley
