Paul Ferney: Nights

Paul Ferney: Nights

Through June 20 @ 79 Walker Street

Paul Ferney has long explored the ways light and time shape human experience, and this Night painting continues that investigation. In the work, swimming and the swimming pool become metaphors for the shifting nature of memory, atmosphere, and perception. Under full sunlight, every movement is revealed with clarity and permanence - time appears to slow, as though a scene is being fully recorded. At night, however, the same environment becomes softened and ambiguous. Time stretches, identity becomes fluid, and the pool transforms into a kind of portal. The work explores the tension between the external and internal self, as well as the public versus the private experience.

This painting continues Ferney’s ongoing exploration of time and memory through the visual language of swimming pools, water, and light. The works attempt to preserve fleeting moments of joy, connection, and escape - those suspended experiences when the glow of the pool becomes transporting and life momentarily feels complete.

Ferney (b. Utah, 1976) is a New York-based visual artist whose work has examined memory and place for more than 25 years. His paintings employ distortion and simplification through rich color, gestural brushwork, and layered texture, reflecting both the instability of memory and the changing natural and cultural landscape. He received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Utah State University and has exhibited in New York, California, and Texas. His work is included in numerous private collections across the United States.

“It is often the moments between work, routine, and obligation that most deeply define how life is lived. A night swim offers a brief suspension from all of it - a chance to push off into the water and take flight.” -Paul Ferney

Is This Yours by Olivia Gossett Cooper

Is This Yours

Olivia Gossett Cooper

Found Materials // 2026

Is This Yours by Olivia Gossett Cooper (b. 1988) presents ten black shoulder bags, all similarly sized, each holding a brick that fits precisely inside it. The bags’ proportions align so closely with the bricks that they seem destined to cradle the weight.

The installation behind a glass window offers a playful yet thoughtful reflection on the responsibilities we carry each day and the temptation of rebellion. The nuanced differences between the bags mirror our own diverse characters and experiences. As the bags form a pattern within the confines of the window frame, serendipitous relationships emerge between neighboring elements. The grid-like arrangement follows Cooper’s broader practice of repeated, imperfect forms as a path to new meaning and discovery. The heaviness of the bricks placed behind fragile glass introduces a tension between containment and rupture. Passersby are asked to consider not only the weight they carry, but also the impulse to act upon it.

The Body Unfolded

Francis Bacon - The Body Unfolded

April 2 – August 22, 2027

Bacon’s visceral portraits return in a major thematic survey examining distortion as empathy.
