New York Studio School

New York Studio School Rigorous art training among a community of dedicated faculty and peers

New York Studio School is committed to giving a significant education to the aspiring artist that can last a lifetime. Our aim is to reveal to the entering student appropriate questions about drawing, painting and sculpture and to encourage them to work hard and think rigorously at all times, enabling them to construct an ethical and philosophical framework for their life's work. The graduating Certificate or MFA student leaves the School with a developed understanding of the language of art; an enlarged imagination stirred by an established work ethic, with the passion and ambition to be an artist for years to come.

The Earth is Dreaming
June 4-26
NYSS Projects at Dumbo

The Earth is Dreaming presents forms that question what the distinction between painting and sculpture is, merging both disciplines together. Biomorphic rock-like structures are vessels for oil paintings that seek to settle deep in the body and the dirt. They attempt to uncover a narrative of place that has always been part of being human. Wirth is an artist based in New York, originally from Washington State. They graduated with an MFA from the New York Studio School in 2025 and are one of three residents of the NYSS Project Space. Their work considers sites of collective memory through architectural ruins and the abstraction of the ancient, synergised within earth object/plaster sculpture.
