 Ryan McCoy

 ::Paintings @ Longview Gallery

AAC welcomes three new residents to our program this spring! The competition was stiff (it always is), and it was a tough decision, but we’ve selected two new long-term residents, and one new short-term resident. Welcome to AAC!

Negar Ahkami

 

Negar Ahkami – a painter originally from New York and northern New Jersey, now transplanted in the DC Metro area.

She makes exuberant and visceral paintings that reflect her obsessions with Persian-Islamic ceramics and other global high and low influences.

Ryan McCoy, Untitled

 

Ryan McCoy – based in Washington DC.

He works in various media but is mainly known for his large iconic paintings in which he attempts to structure meaning through specific materials to create a personal iconography about time, place, and memory.

Lyric Prince

 

Lyric Prince – based in both Philadelphia and Washington DC.

Lyric draws from the unconscious, seeking to capture energy and emotions that could be recognizable outside of a Western context. 

 


Support the resident artists of AAC, go see their shows, meet them at their receptions, hear them talk, and follow them on Facebook and Twitter! Don’t miss your chance to step inside their worlds during Open Studios at the reception next month, Saturday, Apr 16, 6 – 9 pm!
