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!

​
Given til Sundown : Adam Hayes
​
Contemporary ideas about masculinity are often reliant on ideas about femininity, which means that it is constantly being challenged, redefined, or maligned. In Adam Hayes’s latest body of work, he layers images of early photography from the Old West with forms of professional wrestlers in struggle.

​
dirty snow : Tess Wei
​
Wei's works occupy a unique place in the contemporary field, where they defy the screen, a powerful channel and merchandiser of images. By existing within a field of deep blacks, the works consciously evade capture and miniaturization.

​
"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.

"Deli Flowers My Husband Bought Me" & "My Apple Tree on Tilly Road" : Rachel Burgess & Deborah Freedman

Susan Eley Fine Art is pleased to present recent monotypes by Rachel Burgess in Deli Flowers My Husband Bought Me and by Deborah Freedman in My Apple Tree on Tilly Road. Debuting a new series of still life monotypes, Rachel Burgess shares a glimpse into a simple gesture that punctuates the artist's life. Deborah Freedman presents two series of landscape prints and a painting that continue the artist’s impetus to address the challenges facing our world through her language of distorted, otherworldly interpretations of familiar scenery.

​
Shari Mendelson - Chasing the Deer:
​
The exhibition is comprised of 12 sculptures made using the artist’s unique process of repurposing ordinary plastic beverage bottles. Working in this way for the past decade and a half, Mendelson has devised and perfected a way of creating distinct forms out of mass-produced plastic. The process allows the look of the plastic to be transformed and appear like ancient glass, stone, or ceramic, while never quite completely obscuring the original contemporary, ubiquitous material.
