We're happy to announce a new member of the tribe Dan Mangan. It was a pleasure to assist him in getting his site launched.
Dan's work blurs the space between photography and painting, blending form, light, and shadow into an image which has unique visual appeal. Dan has presented a large body of work in his portfolio. Spend some time there browsing each of his galleries. We are extremely interested in his work that appears to be a painting.
from Dan Mangan's statement
It's bittersweet saying good-bye to 110 CHURCH. We've worked with incredibly generous artists and discovered a warm and giving community. We've encouraged artists to take risks and offered solo shows that have advanced careers. We're proud of what we have been able to accomplish over these five years, it's been an amazing adventure.
On a recent walk on Second Street we discovered some work we found compelling. These strange women in mirror dresses pull you to the window of Gallery 51. Her work crosses all boundaries.
