Abstract artist Derek Kaplan will exhibit for the first time in New Jersey — through July 31 — at the Ocean City Arts Center, 1735 Simpson Avenue. A "Meet the Artist" reception, free and open to the public, will be held 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Wednesday, July 2. Kaplan's work will be for sale. Kaplan is known for his appearances on Bravo TV's reality show "Million Dollar Listing: New York." He was wed last season to the show's star realtor Fredrik Eklund. His paintings have been shown on the program. A native of Zimbabwe, Kaplan lives and works in New York and London. Kaplan had his first solo show in June 2013 in Sweden. Shortly thereafter, he exhibited in the Chelsea Art District in Manhattan and then at a Bleecker Street gallery in the West Village. Both exhibits were well-received and one was featured on an episode of "Million Dollar Listing: New York." Since then, he has received numerous requests for commissioned work. "We are excited to be the first venue in New Jersey to host an exhibit by Derek Kaplan, Ocean Arts Center Executive Director Rosalyn Lifshin said. "Given how well his work has been received in Europe and New York, we are confident our residents, and summer visitors from the New York area will enjoy this July exhibit."
