(HACKENSACK, NJ) -- Riverside Gallery presents "Currents of Being" - a Solo Exhibition of works by Andrea Geller from August 22 through September 13, 2025. The New Jersey–based artist's evocative paintings explore the deeply personal and collective relationship between people and water.
From serene beaches and bustling pools to glacial edges and quiet baths, Geller captures how water moves through our lives—visually, emotionally, and politically. Her dynamic use of color, gesture, and composition invites viewers into moments of stillness, energy, and transformation. In each painting, she brings forward the sensory richness of sound, light, and motion, encouraging reflection on our connection to the natural world.
In her latest series, Geller shifts her focus to the world’s grasslands—landscapes that are as vibrant and changeable as water. Inspired by her travels across the U.S. and abroad, she explores how these ecosystems reflect resilience, diversity, and the constant motion of life.
