"Wish Fulfillment Chart" : Kati Kirsch
​
Each of the nine paintings in Wish Fulfillment Chart foregrounds Kirsch’s palimpsestic process, which involves a healthy blend of research and free association. “I work beginning with a place of chaos or impenetrable abstraction,” Kirsch tells me, pointing to the corner of one of her canvases. I tell her that I often work in a similar fashion, cornering myself with a form or limitation so as to let the magic in. For her, sculpture feels too boundless; for me, fiction feels the same.

"Non-Zero Chance" : Ted McGrath
​
Ted McGrath is an artist and musician living and working in Brooklyn, NY. His work draws from an ever-expanding personal lexicon of symbols and imagery, executed loosely and gesturally, often pushing the forms towards abstraction. Recent works have included a turn towards a kind of realism and portraiture, further heightening the sense tension and vibration in his canvases. McGrath has previously exhibited with Ed. Varie, with a comprehensive solo exhibition of works on paper and monograph titled 1000 & 1 Deadly Wipeouts, 2018 and Group Sex, 2021.

"Process & Delight: The New P&D" : DAVID AMBROSE, CHRIS ARABADJIS, AMY CHENG, CHARLES CLARY, JAYNIE CRIMMINS, PATRICIA FABRICANT, SEREN MOREY, SUI PARK, MARCY ROSENBLAT, THEDA SANDIFORD , DEE SHAPIRO, ARLENE SLAVIN ,ORIANE STENDER , KIT WARREN, CAROLINE WAYNE
​
The artists in Process and Delight: The New P&D might be seen as descendents of the Pattern and Decoration (P & D) movement of the 1970’s. The original artists of the P & D movement were pushing the boundaries of what was acceptable as an art vocabulary during that time. Their unapologetic embrace of a purely aesthetic beauty often combined with materials and techniques historically associated with “womens work” stood in sharp contrast to the rigors of minimalism. The artists of Process and Delight: The New P&D are building on that history while investigating their own definitions of beauty using repetition and obsessive attention to detail to illuminate their process driven works.

"TRANSPARENCY" : SARAH PETERSON
​
A solo exhibition by SARAH PETERSON with work that continues to depict human anatomy on a microscopic level as it manifests on a macroscopic scale. With this series, by transitioning from more traditional mediums, Peterson introduces a new medium, ink on clear plexi-glass, defined by subject-matter and concept. Her choice of medium allows an immersive experience, as if peering through a microscope — while the fluidity of the ink on the translucent plexi-glass surface mimics a close-up of a medical specimen. Exhibition WALK THRU and RECEPTION: THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 6-8 PM

​
The Dither presents a new collection of imaginative portraits. Brimming with joy, delight, and a palpable sense of action, this newest group of fantastical characters reflect Snoddy’s interest in perceptible aliveness. Marjorie Norman Schwarz’s paintings depict abstract environments that are a unique blend of atmospheric surfaces and nuanced dynamism, compelling the viewer to engage.

"Pete Schulte: Chamber Music" : Pete Schulte
​
Pete Schulte’s drawings are notable for their subtle and nuanced touch, sophisticated and refined surfaces, and for possessing a mysterious quality of softly glowing light enhanced by an understated use of color. The simplicity of the precisely defined shapes and spaces he creates, ranging from geometric and architectural to those evoking natural forms, appear to be at one with their paper substrate.
