A MAGICAL DAY AT DITCH! AUGUST 18 - SEPTEMBER 18, 2023
OPENING RECEPTION:FRIDAY, AUGUST 18, 6-8 PM TRIPOLI GALLERY26 Ardsley Road, Wainscott, NY 11975
Tripoli Gallery is pleased to announce its end-of-summer show, A Magical Day at Ditch! The collective exhibit highlights work inspired by the iconic surfers’ beach at Ditch Plains in nearby Montauk. It is a continuation of the gallery’s 2017 summertime show entitled Summer Trip. Both shows were curated by St. Louis-based painter, Katherine Bernhardt, and both focus on summer love and the multi-faceted realities of summer living.
A Magical Day at Ditch! allows us to question the essence of this excellent, if short, season. It addresses elements that epitomize the summer by exploring what makes it so much fun. The selected artwork reveals what more than a dozen artists have dreamt up when creating summer-themed art. From the solstice onwards, so much of this season has to do with water: swimming, surfing, sailing and the beach. For many, summer might mean afternoons at friends’ pools, catching up as you sip lemonade, or having fun falling into the sand at the beach while chasing dogs and a frisbee. Summer can also include a BBQ on your parent’s patio or staying up late after getting too much sun. There is also surfing, one’s personal visceral contact with the universe’s lunar-controlled pull of water in the form of salty foamy crashing waves.Read More>>>
TRIPOLI GALLERY, NY Established in 2009, Tripoli Gallery was located in Southampton on Long Island’s East End before moving in 2019 to an expansive permanent, 2,400-square-foot space in Wainscott. Founded by Tripoli Patterson, the gallerist was still in his twenties and one of the youngest curators to have exhibited both emerging and blue chip artists with extensive contemporary programming on the East End. He has organized, produced, and curated shows in various locations on Long Island, New York City, and most recently Byron Bay, Australia. The gallery wants to honor the land and sea through exhibitions that explore personal and art histories, while also creating a buzz around artists who may be exhibiting for the first time. Spanning generations, Patterson's vision and taste are completely his own and have been inspired by his upbringing: living, traveling and surfing around the globe.
