Kris Haas – The Breath of Memory Opens Friday, July 31, 2026. Join us for an opening Reception 7-9pm. On view through August 12th.

In The Breath of Memory, Kris Haas explores abstraction through restraint, atmosphere, and the accumulation of layered surfaces. Built through an intuitive yet controlled process, the paintings rely on subtle tonal shifts, veiled forms, and gestural markings that emerge slowly through sustained looking.

Rather than functioning as fixed images or narratives, the works operate through suggestion and sensation, allowing memory to remain fragmented, atmospheric, and unresolved. Scraped lines, dripped passages, and muted fields of color create surfaces that feel both constructed and eroded, balancing immediacy with quiet deliberation.

Though minimal in palette and composition, the paintings maintain a strong physical presence, where texture, transparency, and scale become central to the viewing experience.

Edie Nadelhaft - CBtO (Cake* By The Ocean) July 31 - August 12, 2026.
Join us for an opening reception Friday, July 31, 7-9pm.

“Born of despair and bewilderment over current events, this work is the result of my choice to embrace the absurd and to focus on things that are either delightfully frivolous, or eternal and utterly indifferent to human affairs.

Small, oil on canvas paintings of soft serve ice cream and cupcakes* floating in space, hovering over Provincetown Harbor or inserted into settings that pay homage to favorite artists, combine with painterly renderings of alternately placid or roiling seas to juxtapose the power and beauty of the geophysical world with some of the more ephemeral pleasures of life on earth.

As the work has progressed, a common visual language has emerged as structural similarities between these polar opposites on the emotional/gravitational spectrum have come to light. Piled up frosting echos swirls of ocean spray, cupcakes turn comically geological evoking a stylized mountain top in one piece, a messy space rock in another. And so it goes…”

Armando Pedroso — Beyond the Door Opens Tonight, Friday, July 24, 2026. Join us for an Opening Reception on Friday, July 24, 7-9pm.

On view through August 5, 2026

Beyond The Door centers on Pedroso’s paintings of solitary barns and farm structures set against wide, open skies. Rendered in acrylic with his signature palette of weathered reds, rusts, and unexpected color, the barns recur across the body of work like familiar characters, often accompanied by a lone animal figure in the grass and a fence line receding toward the horizon. The recurring red barn and its doorway, at the heart of the exhibition’s title, become a quiet stand-in for solitude and comfort — Pedroso’s continuing interest in what lies beyond the noise of daily life.
