New York city’s Meat-Packing District has long been a place of intrigue and dialog with its citizens. Once famous for commodity and produce, to its seedy midnight lurking of the 80’s and early 90’s, to its current status of international chic, the meat packing district has long been where the guts of New York are located. These cobblestone streets where the longest blocks of the city run into the Hudson, now inhabited by the trendiest of restaurants bars and fashion boutiques is the prime location for our new gallery to unleash this new wave of artists into the main stream of America. Traveling the L train with our success from the Bedford avenue stop in Brooklyn underneath the now gentrified 14th street and emptying our payload on Washington Street at the mouth of the West Side Highway we welcome home our new digs, Leo Kesting Gallery in the meat packing district.

Showcasing artworks by Lincoln Capla, Daniel Edwards, Jonny Fenix, Jason Douglas Griffin, David Meanix, Joe Heaps Nelson, Brian Leo, Shawn Bishop-Leo, Ray Sell, and Dave Tree; Leo Kesting brings its raw vision and collection to Manhattan for a feast to the eyes of international collectors. With a storied reputation of standing behind its artists, regardless of the opinions of critics, Leo Kesting braces the public for the sensual appeal of figurative illustrations, vivid expressive paintings and sharp rhetoric that has become our trademark in the art world. Also on display will be samples of work from additional galleries that will be working with Leo Kesting Gallery in a series of guest exhibitions throughout the year.

Please join us as we celebrate this momentous occasion. Thursday, January 17th from 7-10pm at 812 Washington Street.
