Gallery491, in the heart of Montclair, is excited to open our gallery space again and welcome GET BACK, featuring the work of Brian O’Boyle, Mike Ferrari, and Luke Waldrum.
Brian O’Boyle was born and raised in northern New Jersey. Over the past decade, Brian has been compelled to draw, paint, build, and create the whimsical, sometimes bizarre, and often quirky characters developed in his imagination.
Mike Ferrari, also born and raised in New Jersey, lives in Montclair with his wife and two children. Through a visual dissection of would-be lost iconic images of human history, the work revives the past to create a new understanding of our present, using images and patterns working together in harmonious conflict. The work embodies a specific knowledge of taste that falls somewhere between lowbrow elegance and highbrow kitsch.
Luke Waldrum’s works are a delicate blend of his background as a graffiti artist, his love of abstract expressionist artists of NYC, and his time working in advertising. His works range from large-scale paintings on canvas to mixed media and printmaking. He’s currently living in working out of West Orange with his wife Lauren, and five-year-old son, Weston.
Vault491, located in the heart of Montclair’s award-winning downtown at 491 Bloomfield Avenue, is an innovative adaptive reuse of a historic 92-year-old bank building. Surrounded by over 90 restaurants, various shops, and several renowned art venues, Vault491 is in Montclair’s central business district.
Gallery491 is open Monday through Friday, 7:00 am – 7:00 pm. For more information, contact Cheryl Minden at cherylminden@bravitas.com.
