At the Speed of Color
Solo exhibitions of paintings by Ann Pibal and Emily Pettigrew are at Halsey McKay Gallery in East Hampton through May 29.
"Mirage" features Ms. Pibal's new series of almost monochrome paintings, which depend on the varying visual speeds of high, mid, or lo-chroma color, dynamic brushstrokes, and passages of matte and glossy pigment to reflect the ambient light in the gallery and viewers' movements across the panels.
In "Wheel of the Year," Ms. Pettigrew's narrative paintings depict single or small groups of figures, landscapes, and American architecture. Originally from Maine but now based in the Catskill Mountains, her recent paintings are set in the Catskills' rural villages and reflect the region's history.
Aycock on Paper
An exhibition of works on paper by Alice Aycock is opening Thursday at the Marlborough Gallery in Chelsea, with a reception from 6 to 8 p.m. Ms. Aycock, who divides her time between New York and Sag Harbor, is known not only for her large-scale installations and sculptures, but also her drawings, which were featured in a two-part retrospective at the Parrish Art Museum and the Grey Art Gallery at N.Y.U. in 2013.
The Marlborough show, which will continue through Aug. 15, includes several large-scale drawings that refer to waves, wind turbulence, turbines, gyroscopes, and vortexes of energy.
The Oldest Pollock
Charles Pollock, the oldest brother of Jackson Pollock, is the next subject in the Pollock-Krasner House and Study Center's virtual lecture series, held in conjunction with its current exhibition, "Creative Exchanges: Artists in Jackson Pollock and Lee Krasner's Address Books."
Set for Sunday at 5 p.m., the talk, by Philip Rylands, the president and C.E.O. of the Society of the Four Arts in Palm Beach, Fla., will follow Charles from Los Angeles to New York, where in 1926 he studied with Thomas Hart Benton at the Arts Students League and went on to follow the social realist style and supervise mural painting for the W.P.A. In the late 1940s, he abandoned social realism for pure abstraction.
A Zoom link is on the study center's website.
McCleary at Madoo
An exhibition of still lives by Dan McCleary will open Saturday at the Madoo Conservancy in Sagaponack and continue through June 24. According to Madoo, "flowers and fruit depicted in McCleary’s intimate paintings are captured just moments before imperceptible shifts appear inevitable. These still lifes live, offering a glimpse into the artist’s perception of that moment."
Madoo is open Fridays and Saturdays from noon to 4 p.m. and by appointment, with registration on the website.
Six at LTV
"A Grain of Thought," a group exhibition organized by Haim Mizrahi, is at LTV Studios in Wainscott through June 12. A reception will be held Saturday from 3 to 6 p.m. Participating artists are Michael McDowell, Jonathan Morse, David Slater, Chris Lucore, Steve Romm, and Mr. Mizrahi.
