Press Release

Richard Levy Gallery is pleased to present Trio v2, an exhibition featuring new paintings by Julie Green, Kim Largey, and Carl Smith. This show introduces three painters to the gallery program who investigate landscape, form, and transformation through careful observation of the natural world.

Julie Green presents new works from her series Landscapes of the Imagination. The series comprises vibrant collages made of hand-painted gouache papers mounted to wood panel. The layered abstract landscapes are inspired by Green’s excursions to iconic sites and national parks and later created in the artist’s studio. The artist is based in Altadena, CA.

Kim Largey uses the classic floral still life as a departure point for abstraction. Without representational marks, her acrylic paintings imply the genre through gesture, composition, and color, exploring how forms persist, transform, and destabilize over time. Working from both real flowers and imagined forms, the artist allows shapes to emerge, recede, and reassert themselves. Largey is based in Biddeford, ME.

Carl Smith creates small abstract paintings that conjure both spiritual and terrestrial forces. His compositions feature delicate networks of radiating asterisk forms and web-like geometries that are formed by incised lines. Drawing from time spent in the deserts of California and New Mexico, his work merges cosmic imagery with desert forms, particularly the cacti motif, which serves as a metaphor for the conduit between earth and sky. Smith lives and works in Santa Fe, NM.

Trio v2 celebrates three new artistic voices exploring the boundaries between representation and abstraction.
