Diana Horowitz: Light is a Place
March 5 – April 18, 2025
Reception: Wednesday, March 5th from 6:00 - 8:00 PM
Bookstein Projects is pleased to announce an exhibition of paintings by Diana Horowitz. This is the artist’s third solo show with Bookstein Projects.
This exhibition will feature approximately thirty small paintings executed by the artist over the last four years. The paintings are all created on-site, often translating vast spaces to sizes spanning a few inches in each direction (6 x 6 inches, 5 x 7 inches). The locations range from the 100th floor of a Manhattan skyscraper, to the saltmarshes of Cape Cod, to the high plains of Wyoming, to the hilltop towns in Italy. But whatever her subject, the artist is able to distill a quiet, often ethereal, moment in time. The dynamic effects she captures – fireworks reflections gleaming off the waters of Lago Bracciano, the sun filtering through the morning fog, or the ebbing tides of the Atlantic – are subtle, resulting in paintings both nuanced and carefully balanced. Indeed, Horowitz’s soft geometry, keen sense of color and innate sense of light work together harmoniously in these small and impactful works.
