Yossi Milo Gallery at the ADAA: The Art Show

Yossi Milo Gallery is pleased to present works by Sarah Anne Johnson and John Gill at The Art Show, organized by the Art Dealers Association of America. Though disparate in painterly approaches, both enhance the basic forms of their disciplines through color. Gill’s ceramics emphasize tension between the stability of the vessel and the variation of geometric pattern and color.

Describing his process, Metz…
