Artists: Amaranth Ehrenhalt - David Hayes

Paintings by Amaranth Ehrenhalt (Gallery 1) & Sculptures by David Hayes (Gallery 2)

Anita Shapolsky Gallery presents a new exhibition, “COLOR MEETS FORM,” featuring two masters who, over the course of their long artistic careers, have brilliantly explored both color and form.

Amaranth Ehrenhalt's evocative and bold paintings are exhibited in Gallery 1 (located downstairs), while David Hayes's abstract sculptures, made of welded and painted steel, are on display in Gallery 2 (located upstairs).

The exhibition centers on the dialogue between the movement and dynamic, interactive brushstrokes in Ehrenhalt’s paintings and the playful, abstracted natural and organic forms in Hayes's sculptures. The interplay between two-dimensional canvases and three-dimensional sculptures invites viewers to engage with color, light, structure, shadow, and texture. By placing paintings and sculptures in conversation, the exhibition highlights how different mediums can challenge perception and deepen visual experience.
