Summer is finally here— and Eldridge Street is abloom! Planted by twelve Artists, a Summer Garden is beautifully cultivated with flowers and vegetables in Manhattan’s urban ecosystem. The magnificence of Jose Aurelio Baez’s floral mural on our Project Space extends to Woodward Gallery’s interior with a variety of still life paintings, colorful collages and intricate works on paper. Each artist’s interpretation of life and nature seeds our garden with diversity. Michael Alan, Jose Aurelio Baez, Susan Breen, Deborah Claxton, Michael De Feo, BK Foxx, Richard Hambleton, Margaret Morrison, Lady Pink, Jaggu Prasad, JM Rizzi, and Swoon flourish together in this exhibition, offering a fresh vitality to the neighborhood.

Come view our Summer Garden, this July and August, on Eldridge Street, on our website, by appointment, and on Artsy.net. Jose Aurelio Baez’s vibrant Eldridge Garden mural is located on Woodward Gallery’s Project Space and Summer Garden is featured in Woodward Gallery, all on Eldridge Street between Broome and Delancey, NYC.

2015 – 2016
On view at The Four Seasons Restaurant
99 East 52nd Street, NYC


Brad Robson

Robson was born and currently lives and works in Sydney, Australia. Robson started on a graphic designer trek at the age of 19 years. He is a self taught fine artist who developed his technique as he completed studies in Graphic Design and Advertising. Robson became a teacher on Album Sleeve Designs for a college in Sydney while continuously pursing his painting career.


The city, as a representation of vitality and space, galvanized his inspiration to paint with colorful abstracted forms. In 2011, Robson completed a residency in Illustration and Visual Storytelling at the famed School of Visual Arts in NYC. In 2013, Robson had his premiere solo exhibition at the Berlin Collective in Manhattan.


JMR/JM RIZZI

Woodward Gallery is proud to exhibit Artist James Rizzi, better known as JMR, at the Four Seasons Private Dining Rooms. This new body of work has roots in Abstract Expressionism, yet favors a Neo Contemporary flare. JMR has catapulted his vision with this acrylic painting series of bold curves and lines punched with bright color. JMR will be simultaneously featured for the 20th Anniversary Fall Season at Woodward Gallery.


Well travelled with his art as both a Street Artist and Fine Art painter, JMR’s imagery has become iconic in his native New York City and his home in Dallas. After a building-sized mural at the Pod Hotel in Manhattan, and major commissioned projects around Brooklyn, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago and Hong Kong, JMR now raises his brush with the determined statement on motion, scale -and sheer power.


A great symphony of shapes pulsating into one another, JMR’s paintings are at once, serious and sensual, energetic and fearless. His strong black lines caress blank space or beckon to color. These are the mature works of a painter in his prime.
