“Prowling” at Tripoli
“Prowling,” an exhibition of work by Sean Kinney, a multidisciplinary artist from Sag Harbor, is at the Tripoli Gallery in Wainscott through April 28.
While Mr. Kinney’s work ranges in medium, its one consistent component is language. Dabbling in fashion, design, celebrity, painting, and dining at restaurants, according to the gallery, his work in this show includes lawn grass, for-sale signs, awnings, windows, shirts, socks, and blankets. He comments on societal classes while refusing to be consigned to any particular one.
Three Painters at Grenning
An exhibition of paintings by Marc Dalessio, Tina Orsolic Dalessio, and Emily Persson will open at the Grenning Gallery in Sag Harbor with a reception Saturday from 5:30 to 7 p.m., and continue through May 18.
Mr. Dalessio’s plein-air paintings range in subject from exotic locations to his own backyard. In addition to a selection of those works, the show will include studio paintings of Montauk’s cliffs and Sag Harbor’s Main Street.
Ms. Orsolic Dalessio creates stylized figurative works that communicate more directly the ideas she has expressed in her work in the past.
The vistas and flora of the East End are captured in the paintings of Ms. Persson, who made her first visit here from her native Australia a year ago.
Two Shows at Halsey McKay
A solo show of work by Cordy Ryman and “Off Kilter,” a group exhibition, are now on view at Halsey McKay Gallery in East Hampton through May 18.
An abstract artist, Mr. Ryman fuses painting and sculpture using humble materials, most often acrylic paint and wood. He is known for large-scale site-specific installations that can be broken down into smaller components and stand-alone pieces.
Presented by Deanna Evans, “Off Kilter” includes work by Kerri Ammirata, Lisha Bai, Tess Bilhartz, Fiona Buchanan, Erica Mao, Lauren Portada, Marisol Ruiz, Aparna Sarkar, and Polly Shindler. Each artist approaches landscape from a different perspective.
Frederic Tuten at Harper’s
“Memory in Fragments,” an exhibition of new paintings by Frederic Tuten, will open at Harper’s Gallery in East Hampton with a reception on Saturday from 4 to 6 p.m. and remain on view through May 21.
Mr. Tuten’s visual work, much like his writing, emphasizes assemblage, fragmented form, and vivid color, where abstraction and narrative suggestion collide, says the gallery.
For example, in “Avant la revolution,” the canvas is partitioned with narrative scenes, one of which, a green room in which a bouquet of flowers juts from a vase, their buds reaching for floating shapes above, has echoes of Matisse. The painting is a kind of animated jigsaw puzzle or maze, many of its components suggesting objects or faces in profile, others consisting of abstract forms; the entire vibrant surface taking the eye on an expedition.
Springs Artist Directory
The Springs Historical Society’s art committee has announced the creation of an online directory of local artists, featuring images of the artist and his or her work as well as links to their websites and social media.
Any Springs artist wishing to be listed can submit one head shot, an image of one artwork, a biographical note of 20 words or less, and links to websites or social media. Email addresses can be submitted if there is no website or social media account.
Submissions can be emailed to John Haubrich at [email protected]. The directory can be seen at springshistoricalsociety.org/team-4.
