Black White & Gray: An Achromatic Color Exhibit
Black White and Gray: an Achromatic Color Exhibit is an elegant show which includes exciting nature drawing, graphic form and a wide range of abstraction using only black, white and works in gray too.
Black and white sit on opposing ends of the grayscale. As with all achromatic colors, black lacks hue and absorbs all light wavelengths. White combines and reflects all visible wavelengths, so while it contains all colors, it is still perceived as lacking hue. The contrast between white and black is the greatest of any color combination, providing a bold and dramatic look.
Famous artworks using an achromatic color scheme—composed entirely of black, white, and grey—focus on form, contrast, and texture over color include Bridget Riley’s op-art piece “White Disks”, Kazimir Malevich’s “Black Square”, featuring a simple black square on a white background, Robert Motherwell’s “Elegy to the Spanish Republic” series, Vija Celmins’ gray-toned illustrations of oceans, deserts, and night skies, and Franz Kline’s large-scale, black-and-white abstract expressionist paintings, such as “Black, White, and Gray”. The artists in Black White & Gray: An Achromatic Color Exhibit present works in black, white and gray using their own monochromatic voice and vocabulary.
In keeping with our love of music, “Black White & Gray: an Achromatic Color Exhibition” is dedicated to the song “Back to Black” by Amy Winehouse, an English singer, songwriter, and musician, a global phenomena, who blended jazz, soul, R&B into her music. Known for her distinctive contralto vocals, beehive hairstyle and tattoo’s, Amy won five Grammys and was the first British woman to do so. "Back to Black" is a critically acclaimed 2006 song detailing intense emotional turmoil, heartbreak, and despair following a breakup and reclaiming her power while singing it. We loved Amy and this song, as well as so many of her other songs.

Lori Ortiz: Keys to the City
Lori Ortiz is a Brooklyn-born painter whose work explores the tension between geometric structure and intuitive expression. Lori focuses on cityscape-based abstractions and responses to the contemporary world. The work is informed by her commute and LICs industrial geometry and abundant sky as seen from the elevated #7 train. Lori is interested in creating illusive motion or depth on a surface, without using traditional perspective: focusing on only one plane. She allows evidence of the fallible hand; visible evidence of the painting's history and the path of the brush over rough linen which helps the painting come alive and solidify its humble presence as a painting.
In the Alcove Gallery:
Susan Reedy: Urban Narratives
Susan Reedy lives and works in New York State. Her work addresses the ephemeral nature of time, while seeking the beautiful and the sublime in unexpected places. Evoking the unconventional beauty of weathered urban exterior surfaces that have accrued layers of posters, fliers, accidental mark making and graffiti, Susan is drawn to source material that has a sense of history to it. By selecting these abandoned and overlooked objects, her practice transforms and elevates discarded ephemera, once functional in our society, now obsolete as we have marked the shift from analog to digital formats.
All shows curated by Anne Trauben.
