Hilary Pecis in 'Dwelling is the Light' at timothytaylor.com

West coast light and the pleasures of color define Hilary Pecis’ recent work at Rachel Uffner Gallery and Timothy Taylor Gallery's current on-line show 'Dwelling is the Light.' Working from a photo archive that includes the homes of friends and family, Pecis creates vibrant portraits that leave out actual individuals but make you wish you could meet the characters who’ve created such sunny environments. (On view at timothytaylor.com through May 15th). Hilary Pecis, Morning, acrylic on canvas, 50 x 40 inches, 2019.

Joanne Greenbaum at Rachel Uffner Gallery

Joanne Greenbaum’s paintings do what words can’t, conveying relationships that don’t translate easily into verbal language. Watching the artist find a balance between lines and shapes, of color spread across the canvas, and of lighter vs bolder marks is the attraction in paintings that pleasurably upend expectations. (On view at Rachel Uffner Gallery on the Lower East Side through Jan 12th). Joanne Greenbaum, Untitled, oil, acrylic, neo-color and marker on canvas, 88 x 77 inches, 2018.

Shara Hughes at Rachel Uffner Gallery

Shara Hughes’ new paintings of lush, psychedelic flowers dominate landscapes so teeming with life it’s almost alarming. Here, several colorful plants sprout blossoms supported by curvaceous stems resembling cursive script, as if new language was needed to describe this beautifully alien world. (On view at Rachel Uffner Gallery on the Lower East Side through June 23rd). Shara Hughes, My Organized Flare, oil and acrylic on canvas, 78 x 66 inches, 2019.

Bianca Beck at Rachel Uffner Gallery

Torn and damaged-looking, Bianca Beck’s past paintings have drawn comparison to anguished post-WWII art movements. Eleven seven-foot-high sculptures dominating Rachel Uffner Gallery’s back space couldn’t be more different, however. Towering over visitors with raucous poses and vibrant color, they were inspired by Plato’s Symposium, which imagined humans so spirited they had to be disciplined by Zeus. (On view on the Lower East Side through Dec 23rd). Bianca Beck, installation view at Rachel Uffner Gallery, Nov 2018, materials: wood, wire, papier-mache, acrylic and oil, foreground sculpture: 82 x 48 x 37 inches, 2018.

Arcmanoro Niles at Rachel Uffner Gallery

Arcmanoro Niles’ portraits - set in the Washington DC neighborhood where he grew up – feature not only their posed subjects but a host of secondary, ghoulish characters who the artist calls ‘seekers.’ Though this boy’s vibrant youth is made magical by his glittery hair, an odd creature wrapped around his feet could be setting the boy up for a fall. (On view at Rachel Uffner Gallery on the Lower East Side through Feb 25th). Arcmanoro Niles, One day I’ll feel it too (Seeking shelter), oil, acrylic and glitter on canvas, 54 x 34 inches, 2017.
