Riverside Gallery is pleased to present a Solo Exhibition by American artist Art Boden from February 16th to March 5th 2016.

Born and raised in Newark, NJ, Art Boden attended Newark School of Fine and Industrial Arts, The Art Students League, The New School, and Pratt Institute. He subsequently worked in design studios and advertising firms as a layout artist, illustrator, graphic designer and lastly, art director. He joined IBM where Paul Rand launched an innovative corporate design program. His focus gradually shifted from design to fine art, with focus on acrylic paintings. Art’s paintings and prints are influenced by his background in graphic art as well as the historical artists such as Pablo Picasso, Paul Klee, and Jean Dubuffet. His style is geometric/organic abstraction with elements of figuration.

Art Boden fragments the composition and the various objects and figures that are hidden within it, with vibrant colors that partially hide their identity as seen by an external viewer; simultaneously, the fragmented style reveals the internal state of the people and objects as being one of harmony and energetic excitement.
