The current exhibition at the George Billis Gallery is a replica of scenery and a play on real life photography. Stephen Magsig and David Lyle both paint with oil their visions. Magsig focuses on landmarks of NYC while Lyle mixes the nonsensical with everyday life. I love being in New York. I love watching NYC in the movies. I love talking about NYC. I love how Magsig depicted the streets of NYC. One could almost hop right into his paintings. It was like a tour of the city in a confined space. Lyle had a guestbook. I signed in and wrote to him that his art made me feel normal for wanting to eat the soap at Bath & Body Works. If you love NYC and all of it’s eccentricities, then you will love the George Billis Gallery.

Yay Chris Wright and Joesph Piccillo — great show! Their opening was fun and brought in a refreshing crowd. It wasn’t «hoppin» like the gallery across the street that was bringing people into their opening with Heinikens, but rather a crowd of art enthusiasts(young and old) that were all up for mingling and good conversation. This place isn’t ideal as far as galleries go, but they know how to use their space even though the layout is a bit weird. It felt crunched during the opening so I do suggest going during normal hours(Tues-Sat, 11 – 6) to view the artwork. As I said — Chris Wright, Joseph Piccillo, and Robert Hendrickson(?) are all on view currently. I think the next includes Michael Rich… it’ll be up March 25th-April 26th… and the opening is March 29th. Check out their website for current/past/or future artists!

as galleries go, this place is quite small. not so much in the sense that it’s cozy, though. stephen hicks’ show that was up at the time of our visit was quite nice.

A beautiful gallery. I went last night to Elaine Komorowski’s opening. The place has a classy, fresh, clean look, which makes the artwork really stand out. The space is really nice. It was of course crowded at the opening, so it is worth a visit when there are no events; that would be the ideal way to get the most out of the artworks. The opening was a great party! All artists represented were fresh, interesting, and extraordinarily talented. Come spend some time at George Billis Gallery — and check it out when they’re featuring Elaine Komorowski’s work — you won’t be disappointed!
