Pardon Me : RETNA
​
Pardon Me, shares its name with the centerpiece of the show, a larger than life triptych work on paper, lending itself as a space for meditation between two sides of an artist in struggle. Two key works are presented in this exhibition in order to emphasize a sense of duality, instigate confrontation, and allow room for dialogue.

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.

Flight : CHRIS GALLAGHER
​
In these new paintings, Chris Gallagher retains the vibrant bands of color he has employed in his paintings for decades, but here they are interspersed with structure, shadow and illusionistic depth. The resulting images appear to contain slices of flowing energy, with the addition of mysterious spaces of unknown scale. The paintings in Flight were inspired by airline travel undertaken as the pandemic eased; Gallagher took photos from his plane seat during flights, capturing oblique fragments of the aircraft window along with unfamiliar stratospheric light flowing over the cabin surfaces. In each work, Gallagher has melded color, velocity and space into paintings that feel both tightly contained and spatially expansive.
