A rectangular painting divided into four vertical stripes of equal width. From left to right, the stripes are colored black, blue, red, and blue. The background and edges of the painting appear rough and unrefined.

A minimalist artwork featuring four vertical color blocks in a row: light beige, mustard yellow, light blue, and mustard yellow again. The blocks are painted with a slightly irregular texture, creating a rustic, handmade appearance.

A minimalist painting featuring three vertical stripes of different colors. From left to right: a wide white stripe, a wide red stripe, and a narrower light brown stripe. The background is a plain, off-white canvas.

A rectangular artwork featuring alternating horizontal red and white stripes on the sides with the center painted white. The red stripes have faint images of faces or heads within them. The piece is mounted on a light gray background.

A white, cube-shaped object sitting on a white surface. The cube's sides have a textured, layered pattern with subtle abstract shapes and lines visible beneath the smooth white surface. The overall appearance is minimalist and monochromatic.

Press Release

Richard Levy Gallery is pleased to present 6 P.A.s, 1 Split, 1 Stand and exhibition of eight works by internationally acclaimed artist Stuart Arends. This show comprises two painted wood boxes and six painted cardboard boxes. The works on cardboard are from Arends’s P. A. series and were created in Italy over the past year. Arends plays with the illusion of making a 3–dimensional object appear as a 2–dimensional painting. This is the first time the P.A. series are being presented in the United States.

Stuart Arends’s work is collected worldwide and included in numerous prestigious collections around the world, including the Whitney Museum of American Art and the Panza Villa Collection in Italy. The artist is based in New Mexico.
