@HalseyMcKayGallery in East Hampton. ANN PIBAL : GHSTBKSX and...Colin Brant
@colinbrant724 : SUN AND RAIN. If you are close by and/or beach bound, would love to see you. Exhibitions run through April-May. XO XO "Halsey McKay is pleased to present GHSTBKSX, Ann Pibal’s third solo exhibition with the gallery.
Pibal’s current body of work features rich, velvety fields of color alongside reflective, sparkling, and metallic surfaces. These depictions of reflection operate in dialogue with established themes in her practice, including diagrammatic representations of the book, frame, stage, curtain, and mirror, while introducing a new openness to allusions of watery, spatial environments.
The use of iridescent paint introduces a sensual dimension that directly engages the exhibition space. These surfaces reflect both the gallery’s ambient light and the movement of viewers, producing shifting color relationships and evolving visual narratives across the panels. The interplay between velvety passages and dynamically glittering textures creates a striking contrast with Pibal’s lush, painterly gestures, unfolding within deep, immersive spatial fields.
Across the exhibition, the works engage with reflection and repetition, extending their inquiry into temporality. The ostensibly neutral rectangle becomes a vehicle for evoking the fleeting and transitory qualities of light, while mirrored surfaces underscore the instability and mutability of perception itself."
