Exhibition Information | Press Release
Rella Stuart Hunt’s work follows in the tradition of non-objective painting and derives from a directly felt response to her poetry. Her poems, through their exploration of visual sensory experiences, help her to bridge the gap between her aesthetic and semantic ideas in painting.
Craig Manister’s recent paintings, executed in black and white, use landscape to contextualize abstract forms. The forms, based on the keyhole, function as surrogates for the human figure.
The Painting Center is a 501(c)3 non-profit exhibition space located in Soho, New York City.

Craig Manister was my ART100 professor at the CUNY College of Staten Island this past Spring semester. His work is incredibly beautiful when observed firsthand in person. Manister’s ability to transport his audience elsewhere and to inspire thought about our own environs and place in time, space, and society are executed quite well when observed through the Black and White paintings (especially) and using the human form motif.
It was a privilege being his student, an experience opening my eyes to beauty in a simple, complex world. Stop in and take a peek at his works whenever he’s on display. Thanks, Prof. Manister. –M. Peele.
