IDIOSYNCRATIC IDENTITIES

Brooklyn, NY—In celebration of its 20th Anniversary as a cornerstone of Brooklyn’s richly diverse cultural community, Tabla Rasa Gallery is pleased to announce a new exhibition titled Idiosyncratic Identities, curated by Izzy Nova and Giustina Surbone. The exhibition’s featured artists, Christina Schlesinger, Giustina Surbone, Grace Graupe-Pillard, Robin Tewes, and Sandra Cavanagh, explore the complexities of individual identity through the framework of contemporary art.

Over the past two decades, Tabla Rasa Gallery has established its own “idiosyncratic identity,” shaped by the wide variety of artists and stories it has presented to the public. Continuing this rich narrative tradition, Idiosyncratic Identities showcases work that engages with themes of personal experiences, cultural heritage, and the continually evolving understanding of self. Viewers can expect to see paintings that examine the intersections of individuality and collective identity.

“Arising from our multiple vantage points as practicing artists, supporters of art nonprofits, and commercial gallerists, it is thrilling to celebrate Tabla Rasa’s 20th Anniversary,” said directors Audrey and Joseph Anastasi. “As the first full-time gallery in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, it has been profoundly rewarding to have shared visual art within this vibrant residential and industrial community.”

The public is invited to join them in celebrating 20 years of art, culture, and storytelling, honoring Tabla Rasa Gallery’s vibrant legacy. The exhibition will run from May 8 to 30th, 2025, open Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from noon to 5 PM. Please call for additional hours, updates, or appointments.
