RUTH PASTINE works in oil on canvas, creating deeply sensorial paintings defined by subtly shifting, luminous color fields that evoke both intimacy and wonder. While the optical vibration of her colors engages the eye on a physiological level, the overall effect is meditative and transcendent, inviting quiet, sustained looking.

We invite you to visit our Jackson Square gallery to experience her solo exhibition, Colorscape on view through May 30, 2026.

In his recent review of Michael Reafsnyder’s exhibition, Hugh Leeman praises his paintings for evoking a “flow state”—a deeply immersive creative condition of joy and timelessness.

“In contrast to today’s hyper-efficient, tech-driven world, Reafsnyder’s process emphasizes play, emotion, and materiality, reminding us of painting’s ancient role in accessing the sublime. His hand-applied acrylics—vibrant, layered, and unapologetically physical—invite viewers to lose themselves, not in meaning, but in feeling. The show is described as both joyful and profound: a tactile search for transcendence, rooted in the pleasures of making and seeing.” Hugh Leeman
