"The days pass like shadows" by artist Tim McCool
On view: May 10-June 15, 2024
In Tim McCool’s first exhibition with Anderson Yezerski Gallery, The days pass like shadows, his paintings are influenced by sundials and the passage of time that their shadows indicate.

Calibration, a group exhibition featuring the ceramic works of Audrey An, Raina Lee, Cathay Lu, and Dnyang Song, highlights the intersection of ceramics and 3D printing technology. While most of these pieces were created using 3D printing, each reflects the artist’s individuality through the work’s color, glazing, and firing process. As these artists are all immigrants, or children of immigrants, from East Asian countries, this exhibition also represents the necessity to mold themselves to different cultural spaces and languages.

"One Eye Closed" by artist Coral Woodbury
On view: June 19-August 4, 2024
Coral Woodbury, Nude Model, 2024, Oil on canvas, 34 x 40 in.
In her solo exhibition, One Eye Closed, Coral Woodbury critically analyzes Western art history through a feminist lens. She reinterprets classic Western paintings that often devalued or omitted women completely. The show’s title suggests that our half-blind view of this history lacks depth, color, and texture that can be regained through a feminist art perspective. Click to visit website.
