(Drivebycuriosity) - The art world is full of pleasant surprises. Last Sunday, while walking through Manhattan´s Tribeca district on my way home from the Hudson River, I spotted a wonderful show, the MFA Thesis Exhibition 2025 @ New York Academy Of Art ( nyaa.edu/2025).
The
public exhibition had already ended on Saturday the 17th, but the
friendly people let my wife and me in anyway and I cut took some
pictures there. I am impressed what these young artists already created
and display here my favorites, a very subjective selection as usual.
On top of this post you can see the expressionist "2022 (Zaporizhzhia)" by Anna Kraske (2025, oil on canvas). Apparently the painting refers to a Russian bombing attack on the Ukrainian city Zaporizhzhia. Being a connoisseur of art I love the powerful cinematic style of this work. Above this paragraph follows "Snow" by Sarah Dixon (oil, oil pastel, and soft pastel on canvas). What has happened here?
Above you can see "Safe Space" by oneslutriot (
oil, acrylic, and charcoal on canvas). Looks like fun, but safe? Why does the artist hide behind an anonym?
Above this paragraph follow "In Circles" by Mariam Kvashilava (ink and acrylic on canvas) & "December" by Thomas Tustin (2024, oil on canvas).
Then follow "Faith" by Bar Admonit Plivazky (pastel on paper mounted to foam core ) & "Torso" by Sara Nevius (oil on canvas).
Above: "Three Figured Distorted Composition" by Elif Olmez (oil on canvas); "Mother and Dog" by Lauren Sanderfer (oil on linen); "Blue Tussle" by Holly Lowen (oil on linen) & "Untitled" by Hannah Drew (oil on panel).
Last but not least: "Andrea" by Amanda Boyd Yin (woodcut) & "Dishwashing" by Cass Waters (charcoal, acrylic, ink, shellac, oil, and concrete on masonite). The prices of these works are surprisingly low, you can find them on their website.
Enjoy!
