3 Perspectives in Expressionism

Mad Rose Gallery is proud to present 3 Perspectives in Expressionism, an exhibition that brings together the unique yet interconnected visions of three artists: Ginny Howsam-Friedman, John Lawson, and Mark Harari. Through distinct approaches to expressionism, each artist explores themes of nature, movement, and place, offering an evocative dialogue between chaos and order, past and present, the seen and the felt.

Ginny Howsam-Friedman translates the layered complexities of nature into abstract compositions, revealing an interplay of geometry and organic forms. Her work draws from both surface and subterranean landscapes, casting familiar environments in a striking new light. With exhibitions at notable venues such as the Carter Burden Gallery and Pleiades Gallery in New York City, her work continues to challenge perspectives on the natural world.

John Lawson’s *Meditations in Movement* captures the shifting dynamics of light and migration along the Hudson River and New York Valley. Through a process of layering and erasure, his paintings evoke the rhythmic pulse of nature—migrating birds, spawning fish, and the transient glow of the northern lights—blending expressionism with the meditative quality of living in the moment.

Mark Harari approaches art as an act of place-making, where past and future intersect through fearless imagination. His work is a study in balance—between invention and tradition, the man-made and the natural, the fleeting and the eternal. In his process, experience becomes form, and form becomes a story, inviting viewers into the “glorious in-between” of artistic discovery.

Together, these three artists offer a powerful exploration of expressionism, each perspective a unique reflection of movement, memory, and transformation.

Join us for the opening reception at Mad Rose Gallery, where 3 Perspectives in Expressionism will take you on a journey through the depths of artistic vision and creative expression.
