June–Aug 2026 / Featured Artist: Michael Genrich

On View June 23 - August 1, 2026 / ATTEND THE RECEPTION: Saturday, June 27, 1-3pm

Michael Genrich is an artist on Long Island. Throughout his life art has served as a hobby, distraction, safe haven, and a vehicle for self-exploration and healing. He has used many mediums and found a love for acrylic paint for its versatility and ease of use. Michael blends diverse textures, materials, colors and creative techniques to express his inner landscape as authentically as possible.

"Exposure" is Michael's first solo exhibition. It is a collection of abstract acrylic paintings created over a six-year period offering an in-depth look at vulnerable aspects of his inner life. "Exposure" explores creativity, transformation, raw emotion, spirituality, and culminated expressive effort uncovering an important truth.

The nature of the art on display is layered and invites you to stop and gaze at it; to feel what resonates within you and reflects back to you, to recognize forms within the formless, and to connect with Michael on an intimate level.
