Yung Jake at Tripoli
"Sprites," an exhibition of light paintings by Yung Jake, will open Friday at the Tripoli Gallery in Wainscott and remain on view through July 14.
The artist uses LED panels, custom circuitry, and looping animations to construct a series of digital compositions. The light paintings display complex cyclical systems built within an 8-bit, 2-D environment. One of the works, "flubber" (2025), depicts a glowing green elastic slime in motion as it is manipulated and maneuvered through an intricate machine.
A reception will be held on June 21 from 6 to 9 p.m.
Mod Fashion and More
"Every Picture Tells a Story," a group exhibition, opens Thursday at the White Room Gallery in East Hampton and will continue through July 13. A reception will take place Saturday from 5 to 7 p.m.
The show includes work by SQRA, a.k.a. Cedric Sequerra, Seek One, Kasia G, The Guys With the Same Name, Terry O'Neill, and Norman Parkinson. The stories told here reflect the curators' statement that "abstract paintings may not speak as boldly as vivid geometric accents that create stunning portraits of women donned in the mod fashion of the '60s."
With the exception of SQRA's "Bookscapes," most of the works in the show depict such women, whether imaginary or in portraits of Sophia Loren, Brigitte Bardot, and Twiggy.
Image Generation
Hesse Flatow East is opening for the 2025 season at 68 Schellinger Road in Amagansett with "Veronica, Veronica," a group exhibition, with a reception on Saturday from 4 to 8 p.m.
Organized by Andrew Gardner, an independent curator, and Emma Safir, an artist, the show celebrates the titular patron saint of the image, photographers, linen weavers, and laundry workers. St. Veronica is known for offering Jesus a cloth to wipe his face, after which his image appeared on it. The imprint is known as the Veil of Veronica and is believed to be the origin of her connection to photography.
The works on view consider image generation, transference, and exchange in a post-truth age marked by pessimism, disillusionment, and internet misinformation, according to the gallery, which will be open Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays through July 26.
Five at Romany Kramoris
A show of work by five gallery artists opens Thursday at the Romany Kramoris Gallery in Sag Harbor and will be up through July 3. A reception is set for Saturday from 5 to 6:30 p.m.
Muriel Hanson Falborn's paintings are inspired by a lifelong connection to the natural world, especially coastal landscapes. The luminous energy of ocean waves is captured by Lutha Leahy-Miller in Japanese ink with brush on paper. Ghilia Lipman-Wulf is known both for semi-abstract works and botanicals.
Primarily a sculptor, Peter Lipman-Wulf (1905-1993), forced to flee Germany in 1933, diverted his creativity to works on paper, making sketches, drawings, and watercolors in the South of France and Switzerland. During the pandemic, Karen Amster-Young created works that incorporate vintage newsprint, song lyrics, and written words to deal with the stress of the times.
