Ben Matthews continues his exploration into a unique, fantastical and sometimes unsettling universe. Works on canvas unveil a mysteriously disconcerting series of images and scenes from this not-quite time/place and aim to bring to light issues the world faces.

In his latest color pencil drawings, Stefan Beltzig continues his exploration of urban landscapes in transition. The muted palette and layered technique reminiscent of Northern European landscape paintings are used to depict both present and former industrial sites along Brooklyn’s Gowanus Canal. The delicate and atmospheric renderings belie the grittiness of the subject matter and elicit an almost nostalgic view of our industrial past.

Blaise Tobia has worked throughout his artistic career with paired and multiple images. His photographs are “about” what they represent (generally urban landscapes and global material culture) but they gain additional - or alternate - meanings from the visual and conceptual interactions between and among them. Works from two of Tobia’s sets of paired images are included in this exhibition: “Signs and Wonders,” an ongoing series begun in 1992, centers on signage as a semiotic and visual presence in our culture. “Slight Perturbations of the Surface” is a newer and somewhat more enigmatic series playing off the essential flatness of the photograph, pairing image with a modulated spatial illusion.
