“A very revolutionary painter of an art historical tradition.”

Atlantic Gallery is pleased to announce the opening of “Pandemic Paintings,” a solo exhibition of new paintings by Brooklyn-based artist Sally Brody.

Sally Brody, born in Washington D.C., graduated from Smith College, and studied painting and printmaking at The Art Students League, The Brooklyn Museum, The Pratt Graphic Center and the New York Institute of Technology. She has had numerous solo shows at the Atlantic Gallery, as well as at The Brooklyn Botanic Garden, The Garrison Art Center, Home Box Office, and other venue. She has designed tapestries for IBM and other commercial clients. Her work is in the collections of corporate and private collectors.

“Brody’s paintings would be classified as “Still Life”.  But they are so much more!  They have the quiet contemplation of a Giorgio Morandi with their line-up of objects described by simplified forms. But their color, which is dramatic, even Fauvist, is lively.  She also divides her compositional space into segments which reinforce the outlines of vessels and plants.  Often, I think of Cezanne and even Matisse as Brody seems more intent with providing an interesting and interconnected arrangement than a description of three- dimensional space.  And this makes her a very revolutionary painter of an art historical tradition.” – Carol Taylor-Kearney
