"Stretch Under Strain" : Nick Fusaro
Nick Fusaro (b. 1989) is a Brooklyn-based conceptual artist. His first exhibition with the gallery, Stretch Under Strain, references the technical definition of deformation, a measure of how much an object is stretched, and strain, the ratio between the deformation and the original length. Included artworks explore the strain of ideation, production, and historical baggage that are inherent to the creative process.

"Double Reflection": Xi Zhang
Zhang’s paintings have always manifested the psychological weight experienced in moments of turmoil and tribulations. In his oneiric narratives, melancholia is a familiar companion–overbearing landscapes and foreboding atmospheres suppress his lonely protagonists, obscuring the delineation of fantasy and reality. An opening reception will be held on Saturday, February 17 from 4 to 7 PM. The artist will be present. Gallery opening hours are Tuesday through Sunday, 11 AM to 6 PM.

"Glass Breaks" : James Nelson
James Nelson has long created drawings with graphite, charcoal, and pastel on handmade Chinese or Gampi papers. From show to show, his imagery has been either abstract or representational; in this body of work, created from 2021 to 2023, the works are abstract. As always, they display a rich variety of mark-making, from all-over fields of subtle, discreet, and careful lines to more expressionistic, bold, and emotional gestures. They are characterized by an intensity of focus which rewards slow and careful viewing.

"Mike Olin Paintings" : Mike Olin
Peninsula is pleased to present "Mike Olin Paintings," a solo exhibition showcasing the latest series of paintings by artist Mike Olin. Composed of a combination of found media and oil paint collaged onto linen, Olin’s work walks a thin, seemingly contradictory line between extreme blunt directness and subtlety.

Good Naked presents "Hot Mess", an exhibition that tackles the hot mess that is our current state of affairs. Using text and image each artist skillfully weaves us through the sticky field that is language and feeling. Compositions and structures bring humor and gravity to existential moments leaving us space to sigh and gulp in familiarity and anticipation.

"Wire Crown" : Ruben Burgess
“From his adept background in the sartorial realm, Burgess exposes the fragility of life through varying mediums. He examines the threads we wear in relation to our human form ands utilizes various materials to capture an uneasiness that a line could snap at any moment, that all of the things we hold onto are inherently ephemeral.”

"Knot Theory" : Lucy Soni
British artist, Lucy Soni is inspired by the idea of control versus chaos. Her compositions start as small scribbles on paper and communicate a sense of urgency. Through tracing, enlarging, repeating, and layering, Soni transfers these forms to large scale canvases. This process produces carefully balanced paintings which unite impulsive mark making and high art.
