Cecilia Whittaker-Doe’s lush life 

Contributed by Patrick Neal / Cecilia Whittaker-Doe’s current show at the Interchurch Center on the Upper West Side, comprising close to 50 works, sheds generous light on her process, range and subject matter. The exhibition’s title, “Beneath the Trees it Rains,” conveys the dynamism of Whittaker-Doe’s landscapes, which demonstrate nature’s seasonal abundance and power.

Solo Shows

The post-contemporary paintings of Jared Deery

Contributed by Zach Seeger / Freight + Volume’s vaulted Tribeca showroom is the perfect amalgam of its previous spaces in Chelsea and the Lower East Side: a charming and spacious boutique, ideally suited to paintings. Jared Deery’s tightly curated solo show “A Liminal Light”, includes large, portrait-oriented canvases featuring magic-marker-inspired motifs of drips, loops, blobs, and streaks that conjure still-life flowers and their imagined domains. In entering the gallery, they appear as natural and seamless as a screensaver at an internet cafe waiting for a patron to connect to Netscape. They are simultaneously retro and futuristic, borrowing from 1990s cyberpunk and catapulting its very obsolescence into a commentary on physical gallery space.
