Zipora Fried at On Stellar Rays

Thirty foot long sheets of paper, covered in Zipora Fried’s handmade marks in colored pencil and graphite hang like banners from the ceiling of On Stellar Rays, announcing the amount of time and effort Fried put into her project. Installed in folds, viewers don’t see the full extent of Fried’s mark-making but can still absorb the deeply calming cobalt and delft blue colors. (On the Lower East Side through Dec 4th). Zipora Fried, installation view of ‘Late October’ at On Stellar Rays, Oct 2016.

Ryan Mrozowski at On Stellar Rays

Brooklyn-based Ryan Mrozowski’s condensed orange grove contrasts scattered leaves with ordered rows of bright orange fruit, creating an image that’s both random and ordered, mysterious and predictable, natural and manmade. (At On Steller Rays through Dec 13th).  Ryan Mrozowski, Untitled (Orange), acrylic on linen, 50 x 56 inches, 2015.

Ryan Mrozowski has double vision. Of course we all do, give or take the occasional accident victim or pirate, but most of the time we treat our vision as a static whole and overlook the dynamic fusion of separate views that makes it possible. But the same miraculous paradox — the state that’s really a relationship, the two somehow acting as one — powers intimacy, communication, and consciousness itself, and in his first solo show at On Stellar Rays, Mrozowski illuminates all these mystic doubles at once with an elegantly direct attack on their basic mechanism.

Julia Bland at On Stellar Rays

Titles like ‘Spring Shadow’ or ‘Noon Ashes’ evoke places and moods beyond the everyday in Julia Bland’s show of attractive, fabric-based constructions. Here, ‘Lines from Memory’ suggests a series of portals constructed from an arrangement of dyed textile and lattices. (At On Stellar Rays on the Lower East Side through Oct 25th). Julia Bland, Lines from Memory, silk, linen, wool, oil paint, and dye, 88 ½ x 83 inches, 2015.
