In his third solo exhibition with Childs Gallery, Sean Flood explores the New York Transit system, connecting his familiar cityscapes to a frenzied, labyrinthine world below. In prints and paintings, Flood observes the surfaces of the subway and its structures, uniting and confusing space, while paying close attention to the passengers and their interactions. By layering reflections and using mark making to interpret the sound and movement that comes with the hustle of commuting, Flood introduces the viewer to a new perspective of this underground world.
Cityscapes of Boston and New York round out the exhibition, complimenting Flood’s new subterranean venture with his recognizable skylines and street scenes. Through subways and cities, Flood paints a vivid ode to urban life both below and above ground, perfectly encapsulating a bustling metropolitan atmosphere.

Radical Compositions: AbEx Prints and Paintings
AUGUST 22 – NOVEMBER 3, 2019
Developed in New York in the 1940s, Abstract Expressionism was the first uniquely American art movement to garner international acclaim and influence. Featuring prints and paintings by both first- and second-generation Abstract Expressionists, Radical Compositions explores the evolution of the movement from its east coast emergence to its dominance of the American and international art scene, ultimately shifting the epicenter of the art world from Paris to New York.
For centuries, the city of Paris—known as “La Ville Lumière”, or “The City of Light”—has electrified the abounding curiosities of artists and intellectuals worldwide. From Childs Gallery’s unique collection of works on paper, this exhibition is a tour of the Parisian Scene from the 19th century through today.

EXHIBITION
Herbert Barnett was an American artist whose life and work was closely tied to New England, and yet, his distinctive style of painting drew heavily upon the artistic innovations of Cubism.
Barnett’s working method is best exemplified by his still life paintings which frequently feature fruit, bottles, and other everyday objects balanced on tilted, topsy-turvy tabletops. He began each work by quickly drawing with the brush to capture the basic contours of his subject. Next, he made a tonal underpainting in oil wash to indicate the most prominent volumes as areas of light and shadow. The painted surface consists of a pattern of discreet, rectangular brushstrokes. Barnett’s emphasis on structure clearly reflects his admiration for Cezanne and the Cubists.
This exhibition is a survey of the artist’s continual exploration of the still life over a 30 year period.

NOVEMBER 14, 2019 – JANUARY 12, 2020
EXHIBITIONHannah Barrett: Transitions
JANUARY 16 – MARCH 15, 2020
Hannah Barrett: Transitions is a retrospective mélange of works from the artist’s various series—from the Secret Society to Monsters—that traces Barrett’s development as she progresses from collage to imagination as the source of her portraiture.
Barrett has previously described her paintings as “invented portraits based on collage: copies of photos or in some cases, copies of paintings are cut apart and reassembled into figures of ambiguous gender. Fusing the features of both sexes creates a range of androgynous characters that may be straight, queer, hermaphroditic or just cross-dressing.” Her aim is to create portraiture that deviates from the conventional male or female, and to explore the resulting pictorial and conceptual possibilities in a fun and unexpected way.
In her latest series Monsters, Barrett has created creatures that are fully of her own imagination, with no singular references to reality. In this way her Monsters are entirely fictional, and the viewer can project their own character onto the portraits.
Transitions observes this artistic shift in Barrett’s work from reality-adjacent to entirely-imaginary through a rousing journey within her amusingly eclectic world.

In his third solo exhibition with Childs Gallery, Sean Flood explores the New York Transit system, connecting his familiar cityscapes to a frenzied, labyrinthine world below. In prints and paintings, Flood observes the surfaces of the subway and its structures, uniting and confusing space, while paying close attention to the passengers and their interactions. By layering reflections and using mark making to interpret the sound and movement that comes with the hustle of commuting, Flood introduces the viewer to a new perspective of this underground world.
Cityscapes of Boston and New York round out the exhibition, complimenting Flood’s new subterranean venture with his recognizable skylines and street scenes. Through subways and cities, Flood paints a vivid ode to urban life both below and above ground, perfectly encapsulating a bustling metropolitan atmosphere.

Radical Compositions: AbEx Prints and Paintings
AUGUST 22 – NOVEMBER 3, 2019
Developed in New York in the 1940s, Abstract Expressionism was the first uniquely American art movement to garner international acclaim and influence. Featuring prints and paintings by both first- and second-generation Abstract Expressionists, Radical Compositions explores the evolution of the movement from its east coast emergence to its dominance of the American and international art scene, ultimately shifting the epicenter of the art world from Paris to New York.
For centuries, the city of Paris—known as “La Ville Lumière”, or “The City of Light”—has electrified the abounding curiosities of artists and intellectuals worldwide. From Childs Gallery’s unique collection of works on paper, this exhibition is a tour of the Parisian Scene from the 19th century through today.

EXHIBITION
Herbert Barnett was an American artist whose life and work was closely tied to New England, and yet, his distinctive style of painting drew heavily upon the artistic innovations of Cubism.
Barnett’s working method is best exemplified by his still life paintings which frequently feature fruit, bottles, and other everyday objects balanced on tilted, topsy-turvy tabletops. He began each work by quickly drawing with the brush to capture the basic contours of his subject. Next, he made a tonal underpainting in oil wash to indicate the most prominent volumes as areas of light and shadow. The painted surface consists of a pattern of discreet, rectangular brushstrokes. Barnett’s emphasis on structure clearly reflects his admiration for Cezanne and the Cubists.
This exhibition is a survey of the artist’s continual exploration of the still life over a 30 year period.

EXHIBITIONHannah Barrett: Transitions
JANUARY 16 – MARCH 15, 2020
Hannah Barrett: Transitions is a retrospective mélange of works from the artist’s various series—from the Secret Society to Monsters—that traces Barrett’s development as she progresses from collage to imagination as the source of her portraiture.
Barrett has previously described her paintings as “invented portraits based on collage: copies of photos or in some cases, copies of paintings are cut apart and reassembled into figures of ambiguous gender. Fusing the features of both sexes creates a range of androgynous characters that may be straight, queer, hermaphroditic or just cross-dressing.” Her aim is to create portraiture that deviates from the conventional male or female, and to explore the resulting pictorial and conceptual possibilities in a fun and unexpected way.
In her latest series Monsters, Barrett has created creatures that are fully of her own imagination, with no singular references to reality. In this way her Monsters are entirely fictional, and the viewer can project their own character onto the portraits.
Transitions observes this artistic shift in Barrett’s work from reality-adjacent to entirely-imaginary through a rousing journey within her amusingly eclectic world.
