Paint Isn’t Just Paint at the New York Studio School

A recent exhibition featuring painters Brenda Goodman, Steve DiBenedetto, and Bendix Harms at the New York Studio School offers a potent lesson for emerging women artists. Described as "pushing comfort zones," Goodman's powerful oeuvre, alongside her contemporaries, exemplifies the courage to deviate from conventional paths. For early-career artists, this is a vital reminder: true artistic growth often begins where familiarity ends. Embrace the challenge of unconventional materials, narratives, or techniques. Allow your work to surprise not only your audience but also yourself, forging a unique voice that resonates authentically. Dare to create art that transcends expectations. — Source: Hyperallergic
