Some People at Adjacent To Life
Tinsquo's curatorial project, Adjacent To Life, presents Some People by Nathan Stapley.
Marisa Malone contributes the exhibition essay:
This exhibit marks the 10th anniversary of artist Nathan Stapley showing at Adjacent to Life gallery. Doubling the number of paintings, 40 in total and all from this year, Stapley presents us with scenes of life in New York City and around the world.
With the method of en plein air painting, Stapley captures a moment in time. His impressionist style creates a duality within the work; what appears at a distance to be a crisp, almost photorealistic landscape, upon closer look dissolves into a blur of brushstrokes and paint. Stapley excels at going beyond what the eye sees, expressing and augmenting a mood or feeling through quality of line, color, and spontaneity. There is a notable softness throughout his work; the way light hits the top of a building or illuminates the leaves of a tree, these paintings express a tender view of our world and cit
It stands out that few people populate these scenes of what we know to be a bustling place, but its not lonesome or desolate. Rather, there is a quietness, a sense of familiarity and intimacy. This is the magic of Stapleys work, depicting a world that belongs to everyone and making it feel uniquely our own.
Some People is on view through January 5, 2024 at the Adjacent To Life gallery housed in Ninth Street Espresso (341 E. 10th Street at Ave B, New York City). Opening reception: Friday, December 8, 7:00 - 9:00.
