The Art League of Long Island is proud to announce the upcoming juried exhibition “Figuratively Speaking”, showcasing a wide range of artistic interpretations of the figure. From October 26 through November 27, 2024, the Jeanie Tengelsen Gallery will feature both two- and three-dimensional works that explore the human or otherwise figurative form. This exhibition invites the viewer to engage with the figure in its various manifestations—whether realistic or abstract, human or non-human, through a diverse array of mediums.

The exhibition promises to be a display of creativity, where artists explore the depths of the figure across multiple mediums, challenging perceptions and inviting conversation.

The exhibition’s juror, Seung Lee, is an internationally acclaimed Korean American contemporary artist and Professor of Art at Long Island University Post. Known for his paintings, drawings, and large-scale installations, Seung Lee brings his global perspective and esteemed expertise to the selection process for “Figuratively Speaking”. His work has been exhibited across the United States and in Italy, France, Germany, Japan, China, and Korea. He has received multiple accolades, including recognition from the New York State Governor, and the "Best International Korean Artist" award from the Korean Art Association in 2011.

Join us at the Jeanie Tengelsen Gallery for this exciting exhibition that pushes the boundaries of figurative art. The “Figuratively Speaking” exhibition reflects The Art League of Long Island’s commitment to promoting artistic expression and cultural enrichment in the Long Island community.
