Readying for Artifact Gallery Solo
Some of my newest work that will feature in a solo exhibit at New York City’s Artifact Gallery during March 2017.
It’s always challenging to put together a cohesive, yet excitingly surprising exhibit. Style, canvas size, color, texture, pose, feeling, and theme all contribute to making a consistent message. But, it’s critical to shake things up with punctuation marks that give a rhythmic jolt to the whole. Like music, visual arts rely on surprise, sparkle, and the unexpected riff for interest and dash.
Once everything has been painted, the critical curatorial step remains: move the artwork around the space until the show taps out a lively beat with plenty of unanticipated punctuation.
Until then, find my artwork every day at Susan Calloway Fine Arts, in Washington, DC’s trendy, historic Georgetown.
SPECTRUM Miami 2016
Washington, DC Artist Leslie M. Nolan at SPECTRUM Miami Art Show with Gallery NK
By all accounts the SPECTRUM Miami Art Show this year was a great success for Gallery NK. Lots of interest, buyers and commentary by the many patrons/collectors who throng to Art Basel Miami Beach and its 20 satellite fairs during this special week. The Gallery staff did a great job hanging my wall – it looked amazing. It’s great to have a professional team taking care of everything.

Touchstone Gallery’s 40th Anniversary
Leslie Nolan’s Corrected Vision 13
This month marks Touchstone Gallery’s 40th year in existence here in Washington, DC. An incredible accomplishment given the ups and downs of the economy coupled with the fact that so many galleries have closed over the years. I am proud to have served as a co-owner and member from 2010 to 2014, on the Board of Directors and as two-term Vice President.
To celebrate this special anniversary, the gallery chose to invite former member artists to exhibit along with current members in a stunning show that brought out an all star cast of talented folks. A jam packed evening with the crowd spilling out onto the sidewalk, the gallery celebrated its longevity, innovation and resilience in great style. Lots of exciting artwork. Kudos to Touchstone…
Touchstone Gallery 40th Anniversary Exhibit
Open now through May 28 902 New York Avenue NW, Washington, DC
Artexpo New York City
Washington, DC’s Gallery NK has been representing me at special art fairs outside of town. I was one of a handful of their artists to exhibit at Artexpo New York City on pier 94. Held during April 14-17, the event drew designers, collectors, and art enthusiasts.
I very much like the way Gallery NK displayed a selection of my new Corrected Vision paintings — all 36″x36″ acrylic on canvas. Because the gallery boasts a collection of very talented, skilled, and innovative artists from around the world, I consider myself fortunate to be showcasing my own work with them.

In addition to myself, exhibiting artists included Steffen Faisst, Nihal Kececi (Gallery NK owner), Julia Hacker, Alfredo Palmero, Thomas Dodd.
My thanks to Nihal Kececi of Gallery NK for the support and expert assistance in exhibiting at these world class international fairs.
Just a reminder:
Susan Calloway Fine Arts represents me exclusively in the Washington, DC area.
Located in the heart of Georgetown at 1643 Wisconsin Avenue NW, Washington, DC, the Gallery graciously welcomes my exhibiting in other local venues from time to time for special exhibits. She also has arranged for some artwork to be used temporarily by local decorators.
Bottom line, you can see a number of my pieces right now at Susan Calloway’s. And, many of the paintings on my website LeslieNolan.com and on this blog are available through Susan Calloway Fine Arts (gallery@callowayart.com).
