Michael Light at Madoo
“Two of ‘Em,” an installation by Michael Light, an internationally known photographer whose work focuses on landscape and the environment, is at the Madoo Conservancy in Sagaponack through Sept. 7.
The installation includes three large photo books, one depicting summer nudes of a close friend as a kind of garden statuary; one of the forests of Stony Hill, where he grew up, and one of the gardens of Madoo. Large prints from the books will also be on display.
Making Art With Recyclables
Laurie Lambrecht will be at the Leiber Collection on Saturday at 3 p.m. to lead an art-making workshop using recycled materials from the garden of the Springs museum.
The community weaving project, using materials such as plastic newspaper-delivery bags, will teach how to twirl yarn remnants onto branch tips to create “Ode to the Firefly”-tipped branches, which will be added to her piece in the “Garden of Friends” exhibition there.
Participants have been asked to bring any leftover newspaper delivery bags or clean plastic bread bags, as well as any leftover yarn remnants.
Three Painters
“Inner Peace/Outer Beauty,” a show of work by Connie Cortese, Amy Pollack, and Carl Scorza, opens today at the Depot Art Gallery in Montauk and will run through Aug. 26.
Ms. Cortese’s abstract paintings are influenced by the light, space, and
silence found in Montauk. Prolific in oil paint, pastels, and watercolor, Ms. Pollack depicts the solitude of the natural beauty that surrounds her. Sunsets have been a recurring subject of Mr. Scorza’s paintings.
A reception will be held on Saturday from 5 to 7 p.m.
Four at Keyes Art
Keyes Art in Sag Harbor will open “For the Love Of,” a four-artist exhibition, with a reception on Saturday from 5 to 7 p.m. The show will continue through Sept. 13.
Sybil Yurman’s paintings address the fundamentals of abstractions, while Judith Henriques-Adams draws from her experience teaching calligraphy and her interest in shape and graphic design.
An actor, director, and writer, Walter Bobbie has pursued a passion for painting in recent years. Sheila Rotner, trained as an architect, turned to painting and sculpture in 1983, working abstractly in both mediums.
Existential Adversity
Two new shows are up at Harper’s Gallery in East Hampton through Sept. 11. “Castaway” features paintings by Ho Jae Kim, a New York-based artist who paints scenes of “existential transition and disorientation,” transcribing the architecture of purgatory and other entrapped states.
Existential plight also informs the paintings by Ish Lipman in “Things Behind the Sea.” Spindly figures writhe in haunting landscapes, from threatening seas to electric-green pastures made treacherous with looming sinkholes.
Humor in Her Work
Denise Silva-Dennis, whose painting “Land Back Butter, Wee Tah Moe” is in The Church’s exhibition “Are You Joking? Women and Humor,” will be at the Sag Harbor venue on Sunday morning at 10:30 to talk about the painting and how humor is woven into it.
Ms. Silva-Dennis, a Shinnecock artist, mother, and retired teacher, will discuss her love of art. The brush and canvas allowed her another avenue of expression, she has said, inspired by the landscape, seascape, her people, and her culture.
Tickets are $10, free for members who R.S.V.P.
Open Studios on the Rock
Twenty Shelter Island artists will open their studios on Saturday and Sunday from noon to 5. The participating artists are Connie Abate, Sally Jacobs Baker, Tia Bowman, Linda Brienza, Fred Buonocore, Catherine Corry, Kathryn A.

Darius Yektai at Grenning
A solo show of paintings by Darius Yektai is at the Grenning Gallery in Sag Harbor through Aug. 25, including new works from his “Waterlily” series as well as a continuation of his abstract “Falling Flower” sequence. Also on view is a new series of paintings, inspired by recent travels from Costa Rica to Chamonix, France.
Diamond Dust
“For Your Eyes Only,” which features the mixed-media works of Russell Young, is at the White Room Gallery in East Hampton through Sept. 8, with a reception set for Saturday from 5 to 7 p.m.
Mr. Young combines painting and photography with individually applied “diamond-dust” crystals, which he presses into the surfaces of the artworks. The crystals add another degree of glamor to such subjects as Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor, Sophia Loren, and Brigitte Bardot.
Tradition and Modernity
“Echoes Unveiled,” a show organized by Haim Mizrahi of paintings by Victor Kerpel and Fanyu Lin, is at LTV Studios in Wainscott through Sept. 9.
Mr. Kerpel is a figurative painter who creates contemporary scenes and portraits with vibrant colors, expressive brushwork, and compositions with a narrative component. Ms. Lin’s paintings are primarily abstract, marked by swirling brushstrokes and vivid colors, with an occasional appearance by human figures.
Salon-Style
“Floor to Ceiling,” the title of the exhibition opening today at Stella Flame Gallery in Bridgehampton, refers to the salon-style installation of works by 16 artists. Today’s reception will happen from 5 to 8 p.m.
The exhibiting artists are Jojo Anavim, Nik Baeyens, Bedri Baykam, Sandy Cohen, Andrew Cotton, Kathy Dalwood, Terri Gold, Miles Jaffe, Danny Lawless, Craig Anthony Miller, Ardan Ozmenoglu, Donna Rosenthal, Larry Silver, Emrach Uskovski, Omer Faruk Yaman, and WhisBe.
Prints at John Jermain
“Impressions to Remember,” an exhibition focused on the work of the master printmaker Dan Welden, will open at the John Jermain Memorial Library in Sag Harbor on Sunday, with a reception from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. It will remain on view through Aug. 31.
The show includes works by Mr. Welden as well as artists with whom he has collaborated, among them Willem de Kooning, Robert Dash, Elaine de Kooning, Eric Fischl, David Salle, Syd Solomon, and Kurt Vonnegut.
Peter Ngo Solo
“The Art of Survival,” a solo show of paintings by Peter Ngo, is on view by appointment at the AB NY Gallery in East Hampton through Tuesday.
Mr. Ngo, says the gallery, knew early on that he wanted to be involved with fashion and art, and he has done both, working as a stylist for John Varvatos and Zegna, and pursuing fashion photography and painting. His work often features ethereal women floating among an array of images such as plants, animals, astronomical bodies, and wind energy turbines.
Appointments are by email to [email protected].
Four at Kramoris
A show of work by Casey Chalem Anderson, Thomas Condon, Katherine Milliken, and Gayle Tudisco is opening tomorrow at the Romany Kramoris Gallery in Sag Harbor and will continue through Sept. 5.
Ms. Anderson’s paintings are inspired by the land and seascapes of the East End, while much of Mr. Condon’s work features buildings and streetscapes devoid of people.
Local surroundings and architecture are also central to Ms. Milliken’s paintings, while Ms. Tudisco is especially drawn to the region’s water views.
A reception will take place on Saturday from 5 to 6:30 p.m.
Gallery in the Garden
Estia’s Little Kitchen in Sag Harbor will host a one-day art show in its garden from 4 to 6 p.m. on Sunday. The participating artists are Jim Gingerich, Bob Sullivan, and John Haubrich. Tacos and mezcal will be on offer.
