GEOMETRIC LANGUAGE : MARCH 16th - April 28th

Gianluca Bianchino is a multimedia artist, curator, and educator living and working in Northern New Jersey.  Inspired by physics and architecture, his work is focused on immersive installations, interactive sculptures that often engage with optics and technology, and geometric abstract wall reliefs. Whether working in 2D or 3D, Bianchino tends to consistently express lyrical qualities that stem from a background in painting and an interest in astronomy, geography, and geology.  Originally from Italy, he attended an Architectural magnet school before relocating to the US where he received a BFA in painting from New Jersey City University, and an MFA from Montclair State University focused on sculpture and installation. 

He exhibits regularly throughout the greater New York area as well as internationally.  Recent exhibits include: Suzhou Art Center (Suzhou, China), Governor’s Island Art Fair, The Painting Center, Chashama, Rooster Gallery, The Islip Museum in Islip NY, The Hunterdon Museum in Clinton NJ, and solo exhibits at New Jersey City University and Index Art Center, NJ. He has been a Resident Artist at Ramapo College, The Center for New Art at William Paterson University, ESKFF at Mana Contemporary, Gallery Aferro, and Gilbertsville Expressive Movement.  Bianchino’s work has been written about in Arte Fuse, Sculpture Magazine, Nautilus Magazine, The New Jersey Star Ledger, and the New York Times and featured in the Clio Art Fair and 14-C Art Fair. He is a 2023 New Jersey State Council on the Arts grant recipient and 2022 Jersey City Arts Council grant recipient.

A sculptor and painter living and working in New York, Lerone Wilson’s primary medium is beeswax, the oldest form of painting, used by the ancient Kemetic people to create art, among other things. His sculpted encaustic paintings explore the complexities of the historical and cultural inferences of spirituality, history, and identity.  A finalist for the Louis Comfort Tiffany Award and winner of Best in Show for the Carroll Harris Sims Award, Wilson has shown in galleries around the country, including Bill Hodges, Rush Arts, Kim Foster, Boccara Art, White Box and G.R. N'Namdi in New York and Chicago; the Scope Art Fair Miami; Cutlog Art Fair, New York; and SPRING/BREAK Art Show. He won the 2011 Bombay Sapphire Artisan Award, given during Art Basel Miami week, beating out 4,000 artists from across the country.  In 2019, he was featured in the Special Projects section of Art New York and invited to participate in the Pierce and Hill Harper Foundation Artist Residency in Detroit. He was part of the 2020 Uptown Triennial at Columbia University’s Wallach Gallery and the Black Lives Matter street mural he curated is included in a current exhibit at the Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Museum, Designing Peace: Building a Better Future Now, on view through August 2023. Wilson’s works have also appeared in live auctions and show at Phillips DePury and in museum shows, including the Museum of Biblical Art in New York and the African American Museum in Dallas, and are in several important corporate and private collections across the world. 

Born in America to Caribbean parents, New York Based artist, Neil Anthony Edward’s creates riveting pieces using canvas, oil, acrylic, godless, metallic silver, and interior paint. He is a visionary who unequivocally evokes emotion through his use of translucent color and unorthodox expression which exudes his love for fashion luxury and seeing his artistic imagination illuminating residential vestibules globally. Encapsulating the brand's motto that “luxury begins with art”, Neil Anthony Edward’s artwork encompasses the astral and physical dimension bridging a galactic subconscious touch on the esoteric and religious aspects of the human psyche.

Charlee Swanson was raised in Jersey City, New Jersey. He began drawing as a child, using the insides of flattened cereal boxes.Swanson’s professional and creative life has had many facets: fatherhood, conventional employment, entrepreneurship, and community projects. Of particular meaning for him has been providing young people with venues in which to explore and express their creative potential.Swanson balances visual activism with abstract art. Some of his work calls attention to social and political issues; these pieces tend to be figurative and literal. Other, abstract work is about shapes and materials.
