Drawings at Keyes
“OK — Sketchbook Drawings,” a solo show of work by Richard Sigmund (1951-2022), will open at Keyes Art in Sag Harbor with a reception on Saturday from 4:30 to 6 p.m., and continue through Feb. 20.
Mr. Sigmund’s work was guided by both the everyday poetry of the street and his spiritual practice, according to the gallery. Based in Brooklyn and Springs, he believed that art was shaped by signs, fragments, and chance encounters, and the street itself became a source of imagery. By recontextualizing street-sign language such as “OK” and “OK to turn,” he drew attention to the directive and informative language and symbols that inform the urban landscape.
In addition to his fine-art practice, he was an accomplished art installer whose life was also shaped by yoga and Buddhism.
