What I Eat in a Day : Lisa Larsson
​
The exhibition is a feast for the eyes. Large scale canvases showcase a menu of incredibly detailed and rich oil paintings that feature plates of pasta on messy table clothes with half drunk glasses of wine, perfectly baked loaves of sourdough, and lust-worthy cheese platters, all washed down with a bloody mary, a tall glass of lemon water, and a bunch of perfect grapes!

​
​Conceived and curated by Robert Curcio (curcioprojects), the exhibtion is a survey of artists from Curcio’s over 30-year career that exemplifies the meaning of the title – being dedicated to doing something for a long period of time, especially when done with considerable effort or difficulty. This is not an exhibit of the newest, hottest, what’s only trending now, but of artists and their work that will pass the test of time. The artists Curcio curated into the exhibition reflect a life in art with a person’s relationship to an artist and their art.

October 8 - November 5, 2023
​
Natasha Das
​
MARC STRAUS is pleased to present new works by Natasha Das (b.1984, Assam, India) in her first solo exhibition with the gallery. Born and raised in Assam, India and trained in classical representational oil painting in Italy, Das turned her attention to fiber-based materials in 2017. Her exploration of various textiles produced in India, their traditional roles, and social connotations signals a symbolic return to her roots.

A memory, eternal : Bethany Czarnecki
​
A memory, eternal presents a dynamic collection of new works from Bethany Czarnecki. Building upon her repertoire of transcendentally ambiguous, yet unmistakably female forms in saturated, polychromatic hues, Czarnecki’s newest paintings incorporate jewel tones and magnified bending shapes to create immersive sensory experiences. Employing color as a carrier of emotion, the artist’s paintings explore the evocative relationships between light and shadow while conjuring a unique sense of place.

A Pottery/Star : Ryan Rennie
​
The ambiguous title, Pottery/Star, hints at Rennie’s playful tendency to explore work with dual meanings. Without a deeper understanding of the themes and symbols throughout his work, one could take the title to be self-aggrandizing. With a closer look, his interest in space and constellations, their connection to spirituality, and the use of clay throughout many creation stories, allows for a more nuanced take on the title.

"Last Days of Summer" New Paintings : Maxwell Stevens
​
ONETWENTYEIGHT is delighted to present ​MAXWELL STEVENS “Last Days of Summer” a powerful collection of new oil paintings. Taking on the grand tradition of gestural abstraction inspired by the North Atlantic coast and especially along Long Island, the artist superposes explosively energetic abstractions directly atop intimate beach scenes rendered with meticulous precision. Overpainted in jewel-like blues, aquas, and teal, they are a celebration of leisure, friendship, and family, as well as the mutually voyeuristic nature of public beaches where everyone is willfully exposed.

Dream Articulations : Kyp Malone
​
Multimedia artist Kyp Malone is largely known for his musical contributions which include scoring, production and bands like TV on the Radio, Rain Machine and Ice Balloons. In addition to this, Kyp has maintained a painting practice since childhood and described his recent works of watercolor on paper as “redecorating the architecture from cult indoctrinations,” having been brought up with the Jehovah Witness (for which he sometimes delivered public sermons). Kyp’s early life and cosmology was informed by the teachings of the church but as he grew into adulthood, his path led him away from the church and its teachings. New guides appeared in his life which broadened his view and his paintings reveal a deeply personal paracosm.
