Giant, juicy and kaleidoscopic images depict women submerged or surfacing in stilettos through candy colored waters. The series was inspired by a commercial assignment the well known photographer received that involved photographing Olympic athletes wearing heels. In addition to these luscious surreal underwater photographs are Greenberg’s most recent animal series which include fantastical portraits of horses.

| Images are freely embedded into the paintings. Each piece becomes a fragmented facet of personal life compacted onto the painted surface. Yet the greater the amount of information, personal or other, the harder it seems to achieve communication or meaning. All images only seem to lead back to the surface~ Jeremy Stenger |
Jeremy Stenger’s second one-person exhibition at Hosfelt Gallery features new paintings that expand Stenger’s rich colorful paintings inspired by everything from antique textiles to the pattern on the artist’s pillowcase.
Summer hours: Tuesday-Friday, 10-6

New Art by Miriam Schulman:
In my photography class at FIT we went on a gallery hopping field trip and saw the "glass ceiling" show. I really liked it. The colors were beautiful and the photos were very different and unique. My favorite places to eat in Chelsea are Pita Grill and Brgr on 7th and 27th.
