Dan Witz: New Night Paintings
Through May 5
DFN Gallery
New York, New York
(212) 334-3400
This exhibition of night-themed paintings by Dan Witz includes a range of motifs the artist has explored in recent years, including bodegas, liquor stores, industrial streets, shrines, homes, and lamps. Surrounded by darkness, these everyday landmarks are illuminated like theatre stages, creating compelling, self-contained worlds. Like the lights of a theatre, however, the polarity of light and dark forms a barrier between the viewer and the warmly lit scenes.
