Daniel Cooney Fine Art is proud to announce two consecutive debut solo exhibitions by recent participants of our Emerging Artists Auctions. Jen P. Harris will be exhibiting her paintings collectively titled American Kiss from June 9th to June 30th. Lydia Anne McCarthy will be exhibiting photographs from the series titled Refraction from July 7th to the 27th.

Harris’s exhibition will consist of large-scale oil paintings and smaller ink and ink wash works on paper. Her oil paintings depict life size androgynous couples floating in or emerging from richly colored landscapes. The works on paper are tightly cropped depictions of embracing figures that refer to cinematic images of romantic love and link them to homosexual desire.

Harris holds an MFA from Queens College and a BA from Yale. She has exhibited her work at the Delaware Center for the Contemporary Arts, the Mooney Center at the College of New Rochelle and the Sheppard Gallery at the University of Nevada. In 2011 she received grants from the Puffin Foundation, The Astraea Visual Arts Fund and the New York Foundation for the Arts.
