Palm Beach Modern + Contemporary 2023
Overview

This spring Pontone Gallery exhibits at Palm Beach Modern + Contemporary. The gallery showcases a selection of its international artists, who range across the fields of painting, lightbox and sculpture. Common to all is a deep immersion in and mastery of their chosen practice.
Korean sculptor, Hwang Seontae, makes lightboxes. Constructed from etched glass and concealed LED lighting, these are meticulously crafted images of still contemplation.
Malcolm Liepke, an American artist, is a painter of a particular world, a 'demi-monde', inhabited by mostly young and attractive subjects, who project an air of self-absorption and watchfulness.
Matteo Massagrande is a critically acclaimed Italian painter. He creates images of atmospheric architectural vistas and emotionally significant landscapes.
Born in 1958, Yigal Ozeri is an Israeli artist based in New York City. He is a 'photo-realist' painter, in particular of beautiful women in landscapes.
Englishman Chris Rivers makes powerfully gestural oil paintings in a contemporary, Romantic idiom.
With a background in film and design, Polish painter, Jarek Puczel, found his vocation in painting and for the last fifteen years has worked prolifically, showing at many international art fairs and galleries.
