A graduate of Syracuse University, Deborah Roberts makes a triumphant return to the city with her solo exhibition Consequences of being at the Everson Museum of Art. It features recent works on paper, her first ceramic sculpture, and mixed-media paintings — hybrid portraits that reflect both the sensitivity and fierceness of her characters. In “I come as one but stand as ten-thousand”(2025), a young woman in a patterned dress earnestly holds our gaze with hands folded gracefully, while “Pig Feet...

SYRACUSE, N.Y. (NCC News) — What started as a portrait of her younger sister became a turning point for 18-year-old Madilynne Madore. After winning her age division in the Everson Museum of Art’s Young Artists Showcase, Madore said the recognition helped convince her to pursue art in college. “I was very, very surprised,” Madore said. “I didn’t think I would get it at all.

Stiamo parlando di Nanni Valentini (Sant’Angelo in Vado, 1932 – Vimercate, 1985), artista che ha rivoluzionato il linguaggio della ceramica, sia da un punto di vista materico che concettuale....

Realities Within at the Everson Museum is expansive: an exhibition that displays well over 100 artworks and has an ambitious agenda. According to text accompanying the show, it seeks to “explore how artists shape, frame and inhabit the world.” The works, all selected from the Everson’s collection, are organized by genre. They include still-life pieces, cityscapes, landscapes, and artworks portraying the human body. That mode of organization encourages viewers to consider both individual pieces a...

Federico Solmi (b. 1973) has long veered away from subtlety. His current exhibition, Adrift, announces itself the moment you walk in. Solmi’s epic painting, The Ship of Fools (2024) occupies an entire gallery wall. It boasts 122 by 237 inches of deep blue ground covered in dense white lines, each figure rendered in a style that reads like three-dimensional wireframe geometry.
