Summer in New York City looks like open-toed sandals on pavement, seeking relief in air conditioned buildings, iced drinks and battery-powered fans on hand and a light sheen of sweat. But among New York’s urgency that stops for no one, Jane Lombard’s Immensity of Blue gathers landscapes that showcase works set in picturesque California, where time seems to ebb and flow like an ocean current.
With portraits of the west coast, the group exhibition features 7 artists across painting, performance and installation, with meditative practices and subject matter that plays into nostalgia and elements of a memorable summer. The space urges you to indulge in a rare moment of peace with others, and appreciate the beauty of mundane and idle activity.
