Concept Art Gallery presents Full Circle: An Exhibition Considering the Circle as Shape & Metaphor. After reviewing artwork from over 90 applicants, Concept Gallery selected artwork from 34 artists. Joshua Hogan is honored that his painting, “The Notion of Cycles”, was among the selected artworks! Full Circle will open on Saturday, July 10th. Concept Gallery is keeping a close eye on all the latest COVID-related recommendations and soon determine how the "opening" will proceed. Currently, Concept Gallery is open on an appointment basis from 10am-4pm Tuesday through Saturday (appointments can be scheduled here: https://concept-art-gallery.square.site/).

Since 2001, Nicole and I have fostered continued dedication to the living artists we represent and maintain a robust program of exhibitions and events at BoxHeart Gallery. We exhibit exceptional artwork by exciting and technically proficient emerging and mid-career artists creating right now. In addition to providing our artists with exhibition space, we strive to offer an always free and welcoming environment for community engagement, exploration, and enjoyment of contemporary art and exhibitions.

After the business closures this spring, we reopened BoxHeart to the public in June and resumed our scheduled exhibitions with a socially distanced, new normal by offering both in-person gallery visits as well as virtual 3D tours enjoyed from the comfort of home. Further accommodating social distancing guidelines, we cancelled all our public receptions through 2020. During this tumultuous time, it is important for us to remain consistent in our ability to provide our artists with opportunities to exhibit and sell their artwork and to recalibrate our means of community outreach that are safer for our artists, visitors, and collectors.

It's no secret that we love art. This January we will celebrate 20 Years in business! Our gallery exhibitions are currently scheduled through 2022 and will present not only our own local and regional artists, but also national and international artists. We think that artists are extremely important, especially during these changing times. We hope that our role as a small arts business can be a continuation of our efforts to promote creativity, demonstrate openness, share culture, and communicate the power of different voices.

For our first Art Insight, we are pleased to introduce the work of Pittsburgh artist Joshua Hogan.

Seth Clark and Joshua Hogan installed “Hive” at The MuseumLab.

CURIO is a unique art space and gift shop that offers handmade items, fine art, vintage toys /collectibles, and art classes by local artists, artisans, and educators.

Join Joshua Hogan @ stARTup LA Room 335, which takes place at hip and stylish Kinney Venice Beach hotel, which is less than a mile from the Venice Beach Boardwalk and walking distance to Abbott Kinney's shopping district. stARTup is held the same weekend as two major gallery fairs: Frieze Los Angeles at Paramount Pictures Studio, and Art Los Angeles Contemporary at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica.

Hogan places the shapes he has gathered from around the world and creates a metaphor for the way that all things relate. His paintings invoke concealed connections; they tie together things that are unlikely and distant. As if you are flying over the 3rd story, or the rooftop, or higher, Hogan’s paintings show a vantage point where, when you look down, everything is rendered into incredible abstraction and we are all the delicate shapes that float together on an earthen background.

Joshua Hogan’s painting, “You are My Sun, My Earth” was selected by juror Juana Williams of the Urban Institute for Contemporary Arts for the 107th Associated Artists of Pittsburgh Annual Exhibition. This year, the 107th Annual Exhibition will be hosted by The Westmoreland Museum of American Art in Greensburg PA, November 9th, 2019 through January 26th, 2020.

Six paintings from Joshua Hogan’s 2019 series, 33, are on exhibit at Haen Brevard. Don’t miss the upcoming Brevard Gallery Walk, Friday September 27th!

Joshua Hogan looks forward to exhibiting his painting, “A Shared Sense of Wonder” in the VACI Partners exhibition, Patterns and Repetitions: New Abstraction. The exhibition will be on display from August 1st through August 21st in Chautauqua’s Fowler Kellogg Art Center. The reception will be held Thursday, August 1st, from 3-5pm. To purchase a gate ticket for this event visit: Chautauqua Institution.

Hogan’s painting, “A Shared Sense of Wonder”, is an allegory for the interactions he experiences and the relationships between people in his own personal story. The act of painting requires the letting go of perceived memory in exchange for the opportunity to see something new. Painting is how he interprets the stories running through his mind that affect, form, and reshape his own sense-of-self.

BoxHeart Gallery is pleased to announce exhibition at LA Art Show. 2019 marks our second consecutive year exhibiting in Los Angeles. With a collection of works created in a variety of mediums, BoxHeart's collection of curated works for LA Art Show showcases the artistic talent we represent and serves as an example of our innovative aesthetic. We look forward to exhibiting exciting new artwork from last year’s exhibiting artists: Joshua Hogan and Daria Sandburg. We are also thrilled to present artwork by LA first-timers: Gavin Benjamin and Augustina Droze!

We look forward to exhibiting exciting new artwork from last year’s exhibiting artists: Andrew Ooi, Joshua Hogan, and Daria Sandburg. For example, Andrew Ooi returns to Aqua Art Miami with gampi cut into thousands of tiny strips, hand painted, and free-folded together in arrangements of shape and color that allows for new information, innovation, and meditation to transpire. Joshua Hogan returns with new paintings from his series, Wild is the Wind, abstracted interpretations of our natural and spiritual world in a way that emphasizes how what we create is reflected back to us. And, Daria Sandburg returns with her current series The Seekers Book of Knowledge an exploration into the feeling of home through historical found object assemblage, sculpture, and painting.

For the inaugural edition of Superfine! Art Fair Washington DC, BoxHeart Gallery exhibits artwork by Sara Catapano, Seth Clark, Kyle Ethan Fischer, Joshua Hogan, Annie Heisey, Heather Kanazawa, Andrew Ooi, Hannah Pierce, Crista Pisano, and Daria Sandburg.

Inspired by the poetic writing of Kahlil Gibran, Joshua Hogan uses the word wayfarer to describe the shapes that dominate his abstract paintings. Artists like Turner, Gorky, and Monet are recognizable influences, but his painting aesthetic slips away from any single stylistic bracket with the coalescence of relics from various movements – an abstract expressionists’ self-exploration, a surrealist’s shapes, an impressionist’s brushstrokes. By emphasizing shape and color to describe energy and environment, Hogan's contemporary paintings illuminate how every choice and action we make impacts other people. We are both path and pedestrian, way and wayfarer. Hogan’s series, "Radiance", is exhibited by UGallery + Crate & Barrel and his current series, "Wild is the Wind" will be exhibited at the Affordable Art Fair in New York City this fall. Hogan lives and works in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania.

BoxHeart is honored to have been selected as part of LA Art Show's crowd-favorite "Littletopia" section. Curated by Noah Antieau, "Littletopia" offers an accessible mix of works from emerging voices and is consistently among the most-trafficked areas of the fair. Distinguished as the West Coast's foremost celebration of the visual arts, LA Art Show's upcoming 23rd edition includes the participation of The Broad, LACMA, The Hammer, MOCA, and The Getty.

We look forward to exhibiting exciting new artwork from last year’s exhibiting artists: Seth Clark, Kyle Ethan Fischer, Joshua Hogan, Daria Sandburg, and Irina Koukhanova. For example, Seth Clark returns to Aqua Art Miami with two-dimensional paintings created primarily with found paper to feature architecture on the threshold of ruin and Daria Sandburg returns with her current series River of Blues featuring cast glass boats with fiber sails and miniature assemblage suitcases drifting down a river of broken glass. 

This will mark our second year showing in Miami Beach and our first with Aqua Art Miami. We are looking forward to exhibiting works from our Pittsburgh-based artists Seth Clark, Kyle Ethan Fischer, Joshua Hogan, and Daria Sandburg as well as our international artists Irina Koukhanova, Kal Mansur, and Kuzana Ogg (each of which had solo “Artist of the Year” exhibitions with our gallery).

Joshua Hogan's series of paintings, That was the River, This is the Sea, were created from 2015 to 2016. Like the 1985 acclaimed Waterboys album, This is the Sea, Hogan’s painting process has become second nature. The forms he creates, suspended in a mythical landscape, speak to him. They tell him what to do and where to go, not only in the resulting painting but also in life. Hogan's paintings are poetic. They are intended to portray an abstracted interpretation of our natural and spiritual world in a way that emphasizes how what we create is reflected back to us. Many of his paintings have several incarnations before he feels they are complete, before the painting presents an epiphany of time and memory and the experience that brought him to now.
