Foss and Rizzie
An exhibition pairing the works of Cornelia Foss and Dan Rizzie, will open Thursday at MM Fine Art in Southampton with a reception from 6 to 8 p.m. It will be on view through Sept. 15.
Ms. Foss is a painterly realist whose work imbues the formal constraints of design and painting with intense emotion. Her subjects include the beaches and landscapes of the East End, her garden, and views of Central Park.
Mr. Rizzie’s paintings, collages, and prints, which are known for the textural quality of their surfaces, are often inspired by the rhythms of the natural world and the artistic influence of time spent as a young man in India, Egypt, Jordan, and Jamaica.
Two at Halsey McKay
Two solo exhibitions will open at Halsey McKay Gallery in East Hampton with a reception on Saturday from 6 to 8 p.m.
“Adios Verano” features paintings by Hilary Pecis, who follows the traditional motifs of still-life and landscape painting but challenges the genres with manipulated perspectives and energetic swaths of color.
In “Mountain Skin,” Matthew Kirk is represented by works that merge elements of the landscape of the Southwest, such as mountain ranges, celestial bodies, and storm clouds and squalls, with the all-over freeform abstraction of music.
The shows will remain on view through Sept. 29.
“Americana” at Keyes
“Americana,” a group exhibition organized by Carolyn Beegan, will open at Keyes Gallery in Sag Harbor with a reception Saturday from 6 to 8 p.m. and continue through Sept. 13. The show will include work by Donald Lipski, Paton Miller, Dave O, David Ortiz, Gailia Stawski, Bert Stern, and Ms. Beegan.
Furnishings and Interiors
“Inside Interiors,” an exhibition conceived in the tradition of the Arts and Crafts movement of the 19th century and the Bauhaus program of the early 20th century, will be on view at R.E. Steele Antiques at the Red Horse Plaza in East Hampton from Saturday through Sept. 30. A reception will be held Saturday from 4 to 6 p.m.
Organized by Romanov Grave, an artist collective, and Russell Steele, the show includes paintings, sculpture, and photographs that take as their subject matter the world of furnishings and interiors, and items from Mr. Steele’s inventory of furniture and design.
Among the 19 participating artists are Janet Goleas, Shirley Irons, Jennie Nichols, Bonnie Rychlak, Claire Watson, Michelle Weinberg, and Daniel Wiener.
Alcon at Ashawagh
A solo show of work by Lianne Alcon, a Spanish-born artist now living in Sag Harbor, will open at Ashawagh Hall in Springs with a reception on Saturday from 4 to 8 p.m. Gallery hours are Sunday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Monday from 10 to noon. The band Hopefully Forgiven will perform on Sunday from noon to 2.
The exhibition includes more than 20 paintings and photographs. Ms. Alcon is an expressionistic painter whose loose style and swirling brushstrokes animate her portraits of women, many of them flamenco dancers. Her photographs capture the landscapes and cities of Cuba, Spain, Italy, Ireland, and London.
Partington in Montauk
While the Tripoli Gallery has left its Southampton location after a 10-year run, Tripoli Patterson has continued to organize exhibitions of contemporary art. The next, “Below the Storm,” a pop-up show of artworks by Miles Partington, will open Sunday at the Montauk Oceans Institute Foghorn Building. A reception from 6 to 8 p.m. will feature poetry readings by Max Blagg, Benjamin Keating, Ella Snow, Kathy Engel, and Liam Stegman.
Mr. Partington, who lives in Southampton, has created a series of new works depicting animals ranging from sharks to land mammals, reptiles, and birds. Using wood as his primary material, he fashions painted cutouts of animals in profile, placed in both natural and human-constructed environments. The show will run through Oct. 1.
Still Lifes
BCK Fine Arts in Montauk will open “Preserved in Time,” a show of still-life paintings by five artists, with a reception on Saturday from 5:30 to 8 p.m. The artists, who use a variety of materials to render their subject matter, share a desire to have viewers experience the transformation of everyday objects through emphasis on color, light, form, and texture.
The participating artists are Rita Baragona, William Barnes, Colleen Franca, Robert Franca, and Ginger Levant. The show will remain on view through Sept. 16.
