Berry Campbell is opening Day and Night, its fifth solo show with Susan Vecsey. In 15 new oil paintings, luminous nocturnes set where the sea meets the sky, Vecsey continues her exploration of the optical sublime.

Like all her works, Vecsey’s recent series of poured paintings is inspired by the topography of eastern Long Island, and the ever-changing effects of light, air, and water on human perception. Stained in soft-edge shades of blue, orange, gray, and white, Vecsey’s soft-edge abstractions hover at the edge of pure form and illusion.

Take a look inside Susan Vecsey's studio and artistic process as she prepares for her fifth solo show with the gallery, 'Susan Vecsey: Day and Night'

It's hot, the streets are dusty: the sun was just before its summer turning point and had set glisteningly, aligned exactly with the street grid, at the end of the high-rise canyons. "Manhattanhenge" is what people in New York call it, they push themselves to the busy intersections, fearless in traffic, to shoot the perfect picture. Then the sooty, tawny smoke from Canada's wildfires swept across the streets, turning the city into an eerie backdrop: the end of the world seemed imminent. He didn't come, for now. Instead, you saw something blossom; a vision, or at least a possible promising future. With a seismographic flair, the art scene takes a look beyond the current situation. In the museums and galleries of the metropolis: female and diverse perspectives, self-determination.

Mike Solomon, the Founding Director of the Alfonso Ossorio Foundation, examines the shared artistic aims and the unlikely affinity between the wealthy, worldly, Harvard-educated Filipino-American artist Alfonso Ossorio and Jackson Pollock, son of an Iowa farm family and high school dropout.

The Art of Relationships is a series of Zoom talks in conjunction with the exhibition “Creative Exchanges: Artists in Jackson Pollock and Lee Krasner’s Address Books” on view at the Pollock-Krasner House and Study Center through July 30, 2023.
