Compulsive Genius: New Work from Fountain House Studio Residents

About

Compulsive Genius: New Work from Fountain House Studio Residents showcases artists who have completed a studio residency within the past year. Curated by Karen Gormandy (Fountain House Studio Director) and Rachel Weisman (Fountain House Gallery Director). 

Participating artists: Christine Albane, Nancy Caton, Bernadette Corcoran, Lauren Covey, Guiomar Giraldo-Baron, Roger Jones, Suzette Lehrer, Ambar Martinez, Tanya Nickolan, Angela Rogers, Alyson Vega, and Vermillion.  

“We are proud to present the culmination of the dedication, hard work, and brilliance of our artists. For this year’s Compulsive Genius, the featured artists are our resident Studio artists in Long Island City along with artists who participated in our Governors Island program last year. Our artists continue to be focused and prolific. Compulsive Genius is a celebration of a complexity of textures and patterns – canvas, glass, things stitched down, painted, intertwined and glued. From tranquil to combustible, the work is evocative and inspiring."
