‘Traces of the Infinite’ Exhibition

The Gallery at Yellow Studio presents "Traces of the Infinite," a small group exhibition featuring the work of Helena Palazzi, Soli Pierce, and Lara Saget, on view Sept. 12 through Oct. 18. The exhibition brings together three practices that share an interest in a rawness of material and form, and a refusal to treat separation as final. Join in for an artists’ talk at 3 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 12, followed by an opening reception from 4 to 6 p.m.

Pierce and Saget both build their work from the materials of the natural world, stone, wood, glass, and metal, treating found and raw matter as a starting point rather than a finished thing. Palazzi's paintings meet that work with a muted palette and layered surface that hold the same quiet register. Together, the artists share an interest in what lies beneath the visible surface of a work, and in the moments when the boundaries we take for granted begin to give way.

Luke Bellas: Immersive Worlds of Imagination

The Center for the Digital Arts Gallery at SUNY Westchester Peekskill is thrilled to present Luke Bellas, a dynamic and visually captivating exhibition on view through Dec. 4.

This vibrant exhibition spotlights the work of emerging local artist Luke Bellas, whose bold paintings bring to life wildly imaginative characters inspired by the rich visual language of video games. Drawing from a lifelong passion for gaming, Bellas creates energetic, zany worlds filled with fantastical creatures and larger-than-life personalities that leap off the canvas with color, movement, and intensity.

The Domestic Lives of the Founding Families

Through Oct. 4 at the Katonah Museum of Art. This exhibition explores the private worlds of America’s founders through furniture, fine art, decorative, and personal objects from their homes—revealing how domestic spaces shaped political life and diplomacy. With special focus on New York figures such as John Jay and Alexander Hamilton among others, Diplomacy at Home: The Domestic Lives of the Founding Families also foregrounds the essential roles of women including Martha Washington and Sarah Jay, who were instrumental to the development of the political and diplomatic culture of the newly formed United States. The exhibition highlights the value of material culture in defining the Founding Families’ central role as the architects who framed the foundation for our collective national history and explores the meaning of “home” across lives defined by public service.
