Melanie Vote: Night & Day

May 4 - June 27
Main Window, One Main Street
Brooklyn, NY 11201 United States
+ Google Map

Night & Day revisits Melanie Vote's previous work from the Washhouse series, infused with a new twist. Inspired by a small work painted during the pandemic, this collection of pieces explores the themes of place, time, and impermanence. Through the juxtaposition of the tattered facade of an outbuilding of rural Iowa flooded with daylight, dropped at twilight in a New York City park, Vote challenges our perceptions of space and time. The installation invites us to consider the significance of…

Higher Pictures presents early oil paintings by Prudence Whittlesey, selections from series the artist made in the 1990s. This is the artist’s first exhibition at the gallery. Prudence Whittlesey’s early oil painting series are painted from life at life-size or larger, an imposing scale chosen “to convey the impact upon myself of my perceptions of individuals that I sought to paint who felt overwhelmed and haunted by daily life.” These were not artists’ models; they had never sat for paintings before. Whittlesey’s…

Maxine Henryson: Frequently the woods are pink

Brooklyn, NY 11201 United States
+ Google Map

A.I.R. Gallery is pleased to announce Frequently the woods are pink, a solo exhibition by New York-based artist Maxine Henryson, and the artist’s fourth exhibition at the gallery. Henryson introduces a new body of work that intermixes large and medium-sized photographs with non-linear narratives in small leporellos. By using variations of the blur—through depth of field, movement, and intentional soft focus—Henryson captures photographic imagery that favors feelings and memory over traditional representation. Her poetic, painterly approach celebrates light and color.
