september 2 - 27, 2025
RECEPTION: Thursday, september 4, 5 - 8 pm
The Painting Center is pleased to present The Strange Bird Whose Nest I Am In, an exhibition of seven new paintings by Matthew Sepielli in the Main Gallery. Conceived as a unified set, the works in this exhibit incorporate a diverse range of materials. Created between 2024 and 2025, the paintings in this exhibit are rooted in folklore and historical disasters, personal and family history, Abstract Expressionism, Dada, and Hugo Ball (whose journal entries give this exhibit its title). Sepielli processes these themes and influences to create these paintings as a visual concept album.
louisa waber: In Every Sense of the Bird
EXHIBITION DATES:
september 2 - 27, 2025
RECEPTION: Thursday, september 4, 5 - 8 pm
The Painting Center is pleased to announce In Every Sense of the Bird, an exhibition of paintings by Louisa Waber in the Project Room. Louisa Waber draws inspiration in part from her sixth-floor view of the Hudson River and the immense sky above it; the variety of lines and their relationship to space; the zigzagging lines, the curlicues, the broken lines, soaring parallels, sharp dashes and slashes, commas, semicolons, and parentheses. Recently, the view has been altered by the addition of scaffolding, though fervently unwelcome at first, brings its geometric beauty.
