Cleveland, OH - The Bonfoey Gallery is pleased to announce, In the Details, a group exhibition focusing on contemporary realist painting and drawing, on view from November 13 through December 30, 2025. The exhibition features the work of Jim Bandsuh, Amber Kempthorn, Anthony Mastromatteo, George Mauersberger, Frank Oriti, and Michael Zigmond. Guests are invited to join us for the opening reception on Thursday, November 13, from 4–7 PM, where they will have the opportunity to meet the artists and enjoy light refreshments. Admission is free and open to all.
In the Details highlights the remarkable precision, patience, and presence required of realist art today. Though their methods and subjects vary, each artist demonstrates how close observation can reveal unexpected depth. In an era saturated with fleeting images, realism insists on slowing down, looking closely, and without distraction. This exhibition invites viewers to engage with the subtle textures, delicate shifts of light, and layered narratives that emerge only through attention to detail.
Working across portraits, still lifes, and narrative compositions, these six artists bring different approaches to a shared commitment: to see carefully, and to translate that vision with honesty and depth. Whether through the raw psychology of the figure, the delicate surface of a flower, or the symbolism woven into a story, their work affirms that realism remains a vital and evolving force in contemporary art. In the Details underscores how contemporary realists continue to expand the possibilities of the genre, offering work that is at once visually compelling, emotionally resonant, and profoundly human.
In addition to the exhibition and opening reception, The Bonfoey Gallery will also host an artist panel discussion during the run of the show. More information on this special event, including date and time, will be announced soon.
