While some of the artists work in larger scale-Bierk, Gregory, Hysbergue, Okulick and Purdy; others, such as Halili, Mackenzie and Nell, focus exclusively on intimate scale, never working larger than 12 x 10 inches. Each of these artists creates a world-full, rich and intense, in space sometimes only 1x1-1/2 inches.

Among the jewel-like works included in the exhibition, Gregory Halili introduces a new series of New York Cityscapes, capturing vistas of this city in sepia tones that depict the lake in Central Park in winter with a distant view of apartment towers; buildings in perspective, including the Empire State and the Chrysler Buildings, among others; New York through Halili's eye and hand is seen in a new, fresh way in miniature.

Remy Hysbergue's small acrylic paintings on PVC panels, measuring 12 x 10 inches, address the pure issue of painting. In De Ci De La, a veil of monochromatic acrylic paint, with a shimmering metallic surface, bathes the panel, a confident covering in radiant color. In Mirobolants, the artist uses a trowel to swish and swirl gray paint in vertical rhythmic pattern, adding pearls of color here and there as notes and accents.

Lucy Mackenzie remains true to small scale as her vocabulary, capturing in 6 x 8 inches, the essence of the subject she depicts. In Wooden Bowls, her acute sense of observation and purity of spirit combine. Two simple bowls, Zen-like objects, are painted with each grain of wood and subtle variation revealed, as shadow and light move across the surface. In her Toy Clown, the depiction of a small toy given to the artist as a child, the subject becomes an iconic emblem of childhood, joy and memory.

Carlton Nell paints the landscape in its infinite variability in lush textured oil paint. Building a thick impasto of many layers of oil, Nell paints the sky in the day and at night, viewed through a filigree circle of trees. He shows us the moist greens of the landscape with bushes and trees, or paints a flower poised in front of an infinite sky, all in panels 6 x 10 inches.
