JUST WHAT IS IT THAT MAKES TODAY'S PAINTING SO DIFFERENT, SO APPEALING? November 5 - December 23, 2009 GERING & LPEZ is pleased to present Just what is it that makes today's painting so different, so appealing?, a group painting exhibition. The landscape of American painting has changed radically in the past half century.

Although many leading figures of the medium have divergent styles, there are observational commonalities latent within much of the genre.

Just what is it that makes today's painting so different, so appealing? seeks to create a dialogue between the works of several artists shaping the terrain of contemporary American painting, exploring the interplay of overlapping themes that reappear across the works.

Using a classic piece by Frank Stella as the historical referent, this exhibition traces the motifs of the minimalist line, vibrant use of color and material, and Pop culture imagery throughout the paintings on display.

Featuring works by: Frank Stella KAWS Keith Haring Erik Parker Lisa Ruyter Michael Bevilacqua Michael Scott Steve DiBenedetto Steven Parrino John Tremblay George Condo Just what is it that makes today's painting so different, so appealing? aims to explore the je ne sais quoi that makes American painting what it is today.
