CURRENT EXHIBITION

Alec Dartley: Landscapes

EXHIBITION DATES:
February 4 - March 1, 2025

Dartley, best known for his evocative depictions of the natural world, presents a captivating series inspired primarily by the Palisades area of New Jersey. The exhibition explores his dual approach to painting, alternately using plein air and studio-based practices to create works that reflect both the tangible and intangible aspects of nature. “Painting outdoors is a thrilling challenge,” Dartley shares. His plein air works, created directly in the landscape, capture the dynamic qualities of nature.

Vanitas presents a series of paintings by Laurie Riccadonna that delve into the intersection of environmental crisis, mortality, and the human condition.

Riccadonna's works offer a deeply personal perspective on the current environmental crisis, reflecting on the degradation of the natural world.

Michael Lee: Halves and Holes
EXHIBITION DATES:
February 4 - March 1, 2025

Comprised of eight wall-mounted, low-relief sculptures and one drawing, the works in the exhibition were made from 2019 to 2024 and reveal the artist's ongoing fascination with the slippery divide between art and craft as well as abstraction and narrative. Borrowing patterns and pictorial forms from decorative art and folk traditions, the pieces often resemble picture frames, badges or emblems those things that help memorialize, commemorate or signify a particular allegiance.
