We had brunch with the Brooklyn-based artist who debuted her solo exhibition with Wolfgang Gallery in Atlanta, titled From the Mouth of Babes, on view until July 22.

Jay Miriam is an expressionist oil painter from Brooklyn, NY. She focuses on nude women. All of her work is sketched and then painted with nothing traced. Her colors are completely her own, as she mixes them herself. If the model is not in front of her she paints from memory and feeling. A kaleidoscope of imagery and emotion fill every piece. When you see a Jay Miriam, you know it is by her hand without asking or searching for a signature. Viewing her work is an invitation to a world both familiar and foreign. A warmth of color, depth, and emotion is felt by the observer as their eye meets her work. One cannot help but feel they are being let into a private moment, as important to the viewer as it is the figure on the canvas.

Benjamin Deaton and Anna King opened Wolfgang Gallery on the Westside to introduce Atlantans to contemporary artists who are generating buzz. The industrial vibe of the neighborhood is represented in the gallery’s three distinct viewing areas, with open ceilings and concrete floors. In May, expect an exhibit of works by Brooklyn-based artist Jay Miriam, whose work focuses on women’s interpersonal relationships, in the Back Gallery. In the Front Gallery, look for a collection of paintings that play on the idea of Americana from Colombian artist Douglas Cantor.

The solo exhibition of mid-career Canadian artist Zachari Logan titled The Blooming Skin at Wolfgang Gallery in Atlanta explores the relationship between humans and nature as rendered in immaculate pastel, graphite, red and blue pencil drawings, and acrylic and pastel paintings in scales ranging from minute to life-size. Located within the Back Gallery, this exhibition is found after walking past the Front Gallery and Dove Hall, both of which have concurrent exhibitions featuring other artists’ artworks.

Wolfgang Gallery is pleased to announce the representation of Jacob Todd Broussard.

Death and decay lovingly rendered define the poetry of Zachari Logan’s art

On Friday, the Wolfgang Gallery will host an opening reception for The Blooming Skin, a solo exhibit of works by Canadian artist Zachari Logan. The drawings and paintings express exuberance, resilience and queer re-wilding. References to art history, literature and personal experience exist alongside meditations on historical figures as diverse as Goethe, Joan of Arc and Austrian painter Oskar Kokoschka. 7 p.m. to 10 p.m.
