Seascapes, Abstraction, Conceptual and Pop art are on tap for this weekend’s new exhibitions. Saturday night is a busy one with openings in Water Mill, Sag Harbor, East Hampton and Greenport.
Sara Nightingale Gallery opens the group show “LA-X” on Sat (Apr 14) from 6 to 8 p.m. The exhibition presents “mostly under-recognized artists living and working in Los Angeles,” according the gallery. All were born between 1960 and 1980, making them part of Generation X (hence the exhibition title).
“LA-X” is designed to tag team with the current show at the Parrish Art Museum. On view are Los Angeles artists collected by Beth Rudin DeWoody. Works on view showcase artists or art movements from 1945 to 1980. “LA-X” begins where the Parrish Show leaves off and presents artists working in LA since the 1980s.
There are 16 artists in the exhibition. They are Sophia Allison, Leon Benn, Michael Blasi, Colin Burns, Karen Chu, Stephanie Farr, J. Bennett Fitts, Alexa Gerrity, Karl Hahn, Joshua Levine, Devon Oder, Josh Peters, Colin Roberts, Cole Sternberg, Nicola Vruwink and Annie Wharton.
Here’s a few works from the wide-ranging show:
