Baahng Gallery is pleased to present True Grit, a group exhibition of six American artists: R.C. Baker, Ron Gorchov, Michael McClard, Yooah Park, Shelter Serra, and Lawrence Weiner. The exhibition will be on view from April 11, 2017 through May 31, 2017. The artists, R.C. Baker and Shelter Serra, will be available to discuss their work at a soft reception, which will be held at the gallery from 3-5pm on Saturday, April 29, 2017 – coinciding with the event date of Madison Avenue Gallery Walk.

As evidenced by the current and ever-shifting geo-political landscape, what is considered the establishment today can be adjusted tomorrow, and the status quo, quickly reversed. The only thing certain about a norm is its changeability, a universal law from which the trends in the art world is not exempt.

True Grit, a feast for the eyes, showcases 14 paintings and 6 sculptures created by six individual American artists, born in different decades, and using very different art practices. Their point of commonality is a demonstrated refusal, throughout their decades of practice, to compromise their artistic visions, in spite of the mainstream, and its ever-changing face. True Grit is an exploration into the introspective processes of six unique individuals, who create, and have always created, on their own terms, and a celebration of the resultant dynamic works.

On view include: R.C. Baker’s “After Krivov, Rockefellers, and Warhol”; Ron Gorchov’s “Sam”; Michael McClard’s “Shooter, Got Shot”; Yooah Park’s “Holarchy Clouds”; Shelter Serra’s “Red Lawnmower and Wildflowers”; and Lawrence Weiner’s “Put Aside or Put Away.”
