WOMEN BREAKING BARRIERS... GENDER BREAKING BARRIERS.
“I’m not a feminist,” says Pryor Callaway, which may come as a surprise to anyone whose first brush
with the visual artist’s work is “Genderful,” set to open at the Jadite Gallery in Midtown Manhattan
on February 4th. The evocative sculptures displayed in the gallery represent the influence of the strong
women in her adult life and a look back to her childhood in the Deep South and penchant for playing
with the boys. She remarks, “some people don't see race or color as a kid. I didn't see gender.”
Mannequins, which Callaway has transformed into provocative, challenging, sexual and courageous
sculptures, are the visual voices in the show. They represent her point of view that the task at hand
in our day and time isn’t about women breaking barriers but about any gender breaking through
preconceptions that do not allow authenticity and resonance. In this vein, the show encourages
an exploration of the feminine merging with the masculine through a transfiguration of genitalia to
personify braveness, freedom and identity.
Pryor Callaway, born and raised in Mississipi, has lived and worked as an artist in New York.
Her work has been shown at Art Basel Miami, Times Square, a solo show in Noho, Boffo Showhouse
in the Lower East Side, and WeiMit Gallery. Her work has been published in contemporary art books
and print and online magazines.
Jadite Galleries, established in 1985 contributes to the ever-changing contemporary
art scene in New York. Exhibitions cover the spectrum of art form created by a myriad
of talented artists from the United States, Europe, Latin America, and Asia.

Eleanor Gilpatrick
HERE AND THERE
Opening Reception: Wednesday, November 6th, 6-9pm
Eleanor Gilpatrick's paintings are beautifully executed, sophisticated works of contemporary realism. An accomplished colorist, she has her own take on content and subject matter; above all, her intense energy shows through.
Despite commercial pressures, Gilpatrick refuses to make reproductions of her work, a policy greatly appreciated by her collectors. Here are works for the home, the office, or for display in other settings. Gilpatrick offers a varied portfolio of landscapes of the United States, Norway, Bulgaria, Italy, Spain, and her home in New York City, as well as nebulae, still lifes, and portraits.
People concerned about the human face of war will want to see her "In The World" series, which contrasts images based on press photos of Iraq and Afghanistan with her own American scenes.
