“Having a Long Coarse Daunting Peak,” an exhibition of color, urgency and unmapped terrain curated by Haim Mizrahi, will be on view at LTV Studios in Wainscott from July 18 through August 20. An opening reception will be held Friday, July 25, from 4 to 7 p.m.
The show features six artists — Bob Sullivan, Fanyu Lin, Nick Weber, Chris Lucore, Jody Gambino and Haim Mizrahi — who were each given a single directive: arrive with brushes and paint, but no sketches, no plans and no preconceptions. Each artist worked on a 4-by-12-foot canvas, engaging in a raw, unfiltered act of creation centered on pure color.
“Having a Long Coarse Daunting Peak” is an experiment in immediacy and scale. Rather than illustrate a theme, the works respond viscerally to the exhibition’s title — a metaphorical mountain of pressure, presence and process. The resulting large-scale paintings capture moments of instinct, discipline and creative risk, offering a rare glimpse into the urgency of artistic decision-making.
The exhibition invites viewers into the heart of the creative act — unstructured, spontaneous and entirely alive.
The exhibition will be held at LTV Studios, located at 75 Industrial Road in Wainscott. More information is available at ltveh.org.
