For its upcoming exhibition Four Painters, Carrie Haddad Gallery presents a celebration of painting in its many forms. Bringing together floral compositions, figurative interiors, expansive landscapes, and bold abstraction, the exhibition highlights the range and vitality of contemporary painting. Julia Whitney Barnes, Joan Hanley, David Konigsberg, and James O’Shea each offer a distinct approach, demonstrating how varied the language of paint can be, while remaining rooted in observation and personal vision. Julia Whitney Barnes creates lush botanical works that merge careful study with imaginative recombination. Beginning with unique cyanotype prints on watercolor paper, she builds her surfaces by painting numerous layers of watercolor, gouache, and ink, often integrating multiple plant species into a single composition. Cultivated and wild flora coexist without hierarchy, forming intricate arrangements that hover between documentation and invention. This exhibition incorporates the artist’s pushing of conventional blue and white cyanotypes to include toned works of deep sepia, warm pale yellow, and brilliant pink. Though grounded in painting, Whitney Barnes’s practice draws on a wide range of media, including printmaking, alternative process and installation, a breadth that informs the layered quality of these works. The results are richly detailed images that honor the floral tradition while expanding it, offering contemporary interpretations of a time-honored genre. Whitney Barnes received her BFA from Parsons School of Design and her MFA from Hunter College. She has exhibited widely in the United States and internationally, and her work has been featured in publications including The New York Times and Hyperallergic. She lives and works in the Hudson Valley and serves on the faculty at Marist College. Joan Hanley works in a figurative mode, portraying family, friends, and the spaces of everyday life. Her paintings often begin with cell phone photos and drawing
