Huey Landscapes at Harper’s
“Radiant Swim,” an exhibition of recent paintings by Elizabeth Huey, curated by Jess Frost, is on view at Harper’s Books in East Hampton through Feb. 18. A reception for the artist will be held on Saturday from 6 to 8 p.m.
Ms. Huey’s new landscapes present figures surrounded by water. They splash in swimming pools, gather under beach umbrellas, and plunge off diving boards against backdrops of motels, mountain resorts, beaches, waterfalls, and other environments, both natural and man-made.
A selection of the artist’s photographs, both made and found, is also on view, as are collages that further illuminate her process. Ms. Huey, who has a master’s degree in fine arts from Yale University, has exhibited nationally and internationally. She lives in Brooklyn.
Bujese Selects at Markel
“Dealer’s Choice,” an exhibition organized by Arlene Bujese, will occupy the Kathryn Markel Fine Arts gallery in Bridgehampton from Saturday through Feb. 2. Ms. Bujese, who is curator of art exhibitions at the Levitas Center for the Arts at the Southampton Cultural Center, ran her eponymous gallery on Newtown Lane in East Hampton for almost a decade. Many of the artists in “Dealer’s Choice” showed there.
The exhibition includes works by Mary Abbott, Calvin Albert, Will Barnet, Stephanie Brody-Lederman, Darlene Charneco, John Dayton, Carol Hunt, William King, Elaine de Kooning, John Little, and Fulvio Massi. An opening reception will be held on Saturday from 5 to 7 p.m.
