New at Halsey McKay
Two solo shows, “Shadow Metier” by David Kennedy Cutler, and “The Intangible Forest” by Raymie Iadevaia, are on view at the Halsey McKay Gallery in East Hampton through April 26.
The works in “Shadow Metier” are made with inkjet transfer on canvas, plaster, and aqua-resin, and then treated with prosthetic patches, overpainting, and other encroachments. The compositions draw from basic and tactile sources, including the artist’s body, his wife’s body, their clothing, food, houseplants, electrical conduit, and other objects.
The intimately scaled landscapes of “The Intangible Forest” are densely packed with marks made with gouache, watercolor, and colored pencil on paper. Thick and thin, scraped and scumbled, rubbed in, stained, and saturated, the works shift in and out of focus in optical vibrations.
Outdoor Sculpture Tours
The Parrish Art Museum in Water Mill will offer walking tours of “Field of Dreams,” its outdoor sculpture exhibition, tomorrow afternoon from 3 to 4:30. Situated on the museum’s grounds, the show includes sculpture by Theaster Gates, Jaume Plensa, Jim Dine, Roy Lichtenstein, Joel Perlman, Joel Shapiro, Max Ernst, Bernar Venet, Isa Genzken, and Giuseppe Penone.
In addition, Scott Bluedorn will be on hand to give tours of “Bonac Blind,” his Road Show project, which refers to the traditional Bonac culture of fishing, farming, and hunting while commenting on the East End’s housing crisis and on climate change.
Guests will be divided into small groups for the tours, which will be led by Alicia Longwell, the museum’s chief curator, and museum docents, and masks will be required. Tickets are $10, free for members and students, and must be purchased in advance on the museum’s website.
Lichtenstein in Palm Beach
An exhibition of 10 rarely seen works by Roy Lichtenstein, including collage, drawing, painting, and sculpture from the 1970s and '80s, is on view at the Pace Gallery in Palm Beach through April 11.
Much of Lichtenstein’s work investigated the nature of art itself, including the theme of the brushstroke, which first appears in his paintings in the 1960s. In the late '70s and early '80s, he freed the brushstroke from the canvas and captured it in three dimensions. Examples in the show are “Brushstroke,” a stack of brushstrokes in red, yellow, white, and blue, and “Brushstroke Chair and Ottoman,” functional furniture made entirely from the cast and painted bronze forms of three-dimensional brushstrokes.
This article has been modified from its original and print version, in which a Lichtenstein sculpture was incorrectly titled "Brushstroke (Tuten 23)."
