The latest exhibition from upstart Crown Heights gallery, Julia Seabrook Gallery is a joyous celebration of artwork from a diverse assemblage of Contemporary artists. Artists featured in this vibrant exhibit represent the various media and genres currently thriving within Contemporary Art.

JSG follows the success of its inaugural two shows – the all-woman Miss Universe and Boy Meets World, featuring outsider artist Chip Haggerty – with a line-up that features a raft of able street artists and others whose work simply cannot stand still.

There is urgent work from local Brooklyn artists, but also new and engaging pieces from artists from Atlanta, Madrid, San Diego, and elsewhere. The works express motion, agility, friction, humor and realism, tied together by their use of bright colors to gather focus and evoke emotions: whether it’s the expression on the face of a young woman rendered in cartoon realism, a neoimpressionist take on a bloodied boxer, or the angelic longing of a young man seated in the clouds.
