"The sun comes out in many mind's eyes at the mere mention of John Grillo's name." -April Kingsley
Shamnoski Gallery is pleased to present Summer Set, a seasonal group exhibition bringing together works by gallery artists John Grillo, Ralph Wickiser, Wilfrid Zogbaum, Jimmy Ernst, Joann Gedney, William Tarr, Herman Cherry, and Steven Alexander, alongside special presentations by Sumayyah Samaha, Robert Richenburg, John Ferren, Reuben Kadish, Robert Barrell, and Dorothy Dehner.
As the pace of the summer begins to slow, Summer Set serves as a quiet moment of reflection between a busy first half of the year and an ambitious fall exhibition schedule. The presentation offers an opportunity to revisit recent acquisitions, introduce notable new consignments, and bring together a selection of works that have joined the gallery following a successful season of exhibitions and art fairs.
Installed with an emphasis on dialogue rather than chronology, the exhibition encourages fresh connections between artists of different generations and backgrounds. From early twentieth-century modernism and the New York School to contemporary abstraction, Summer Set reflects the breadth of the gallery's program while offering collectors and visitors a relaxed opportunity to discover exceptional works before the arrival of the Fall 2026 season.
