FROSCH&CO
34 E Broadway
April 20 - May 28, 2023
Joe Wardwell : Present Company Excepted
Joe Wardwell’s work is built from many layers, combining landscape imagery with text and abstraction. While pushing against each other, the various elements create tension and energy that result in the artist’s unique visually complex paintings. The abstract, the landscape, and the text imagery are as much at odds with each other as they are striving for visual harmony.

Hyacinth Gallery
179 Canal st #4B
May 5 - June 11
Melody Tuttle : 24-Hour World
The visual appeal of Tuttle’s seemingly effortless composition is undercut by a precise and considered attention to line and form. Subtle geometric interventions upset the fluidity of each silhouette and create a painterly tension within the silent narrative of her often distressed figures. The source of the despondency in Tuttle’s tonality is never articulated, but themes of personal hygiene and domestic intimacies expose the tenuous distinction between public and private life, and in displaying their personal traumas, reveal simultaneously a desirable ideal and a relatable malaise.

McKenzie Fine Art
55 Orchard Street, New York, NY 10002
May 12 - June 25, 2023
Don Voisine
In Don Voisine’s taut and elegant paintings, simple geometries are set against light or dark grounds, flanked top and bottom by bands of contrasting color. In this latest body of work, diamond and lozenge shapes and cruciform arrangements predominate. A hallmark of Voisine’s paintings is his use of contrasting matte and glossy sections and directional brushwork to crisply differentiate his geometries. Working in oil, and in some instances, oil and acrylic, his overlapping, adjacent, and nesting forms are markedly frontal in this new work, recalling emblems, badges, and heraldic shapes.

Shelter
127 Eldridge St New York, NY 10002
April 20 - May 21, 2023
Sally Paul : Banana Walk
Shelter is proud to announce Sally Paul’s solo exhibition “Banana Walk”. Made from acrylic, acrylic peels and painting medium on wood panel, the work evokes toothsome textiles with a focus on texture, finish, color interactions, simple geometric compositions and framing devices. Paint is poured and squeezed rather than dabbed and brushed. Wavering pressure, errant air bubbles, and subtle movements of the body are all captured and encapsulated in the paint, creating clues pointing the viewer to the artist’s hand and process.
