AUTUMN RUSH #3

posted by Kevin Pinkerton

Autumn Rush captures the fleeting energy of a season in transition. Layers of warm coral, gold, and muted gray collide and cascade across the canvas, evoking the sensation of wind-driven leaves, shifting light, and the hurried rhythm of nature preparing for change. Vertical drips and sweeping gestures create movement and urgency, while softened veils of color suggest memories fading into the landscape.

This portfolio is based on my series of paintings titled waiting in waste, high water. It deals with the everyday struggles of moving forward and getting pushed backward in life and dealing with the struggle we face day today.

TEXTILE ART GALLERY NYC PRESENTS VITAL FORMS: SIX ARTISTS EXPANDING THE REACH OF TEXTILES

posted by Textile Art Gallery of NYC

TEXTILE ART GALLERY NYC PRESENTS VITAL FORMS: SIX ARTISTS EXPANDING THE REACH OF TEXTILES NEW YORK, NY — Textile Art Gallery NYC is proud to present Vital Forms, an exhibition of six artists united by a single conviction: cloth is capable of far more than most people assume. On view June 2–27, 2026, with an opening reception on June 13th from 3-5 pm, at 529 West 20th Street, 6th floor, Chelsea. Vital Forms opens in conversation with Jennifer Fons’ concurrent solo exhibition Hiraeth, creating a rare opportunity to experience two distinct visions of contemporary textile art simultaneously. The six artists, Sandra Giunta, Susan Else, Sherri Lipman McCauley, Émilie Trahan, Lenny van Eijk, and Carol Paik, work in strikingly different languages. Giunta constructs intricate three-dimensional ecosystems from felted and sculptural cloth, conjuring coral reefs and living organisms with extraordinary precision. Else builds figurative sculptures from collaged and quilted cloth over armature, darkly witty works that examine mortality and the quiet drama of everyday existence. McCauley transforms hundreds of collected coffee cozies into an immersive hanging installation that confers dignity on the discarded and the overlooked. Trahan works in explosive botanical abstraction, building dense layered surfaces that pulse with colour and organic energy. Van Eijk’s large-scale abstract textiles command space with bold biomorphic forms and complete unselfconscious authority. Paik works with repurposed textiles and found materials, finding unexpected tension between the domestic and the cosmic in works that ask to be looked at again. Together they make a compelling case that textiles have been long underestimated in the contemporary art conversation. Vital Forms is on view June 2–27, 2026. Opening Reception: June 13, 3-5 pm. Gallery hours are Tuesday–Saturday, 11:00 AM–6:00 PM. 529 West 20th Street, New York, NY 10011 www.textileartnyc.com
