Grenning Gallery, 26 Main Street in Sag Harbor, is showing the Sixth Annual Solo Show for Darius Yektai.

According to gallerist Laura Grenning, Yektai’s new body of work requires us to take a literal step back; These paintings are large and bold; colors synthesizing an abstract song about nature and emotion. The landscape plays the role of background, rooted in observational elements like branches, willow leaves, mountains, and horizon lines, combined with rich colors and gestural brushwork. Up close, we can investigate his decisions in the artistic process, but from afar, we recognize the prodigious skill of an abstract composer.

The exhibition will remain on view through Sunday, August 3.

For more information, call 631-725-8469 or visit grenninggallery.com.

Sara Nightingale Gallery, 26 Main Street in Sag Harbor, is showing “Rose Cameron, Forever, for Now.”

Cameron’s painting practice centers on two central motifs: basketweaving patterns and abstracted floral forms. In this exhibition, the hibiscus flower plays a central role, as it does in many Philippine traditions. Among its symbolic meanings — courage, passion, purity, femininity, joy — the fleeting nature of beauty stands out. As she layers paint, Cameron often erases her original imagery, leaving behind only outlines or faint traces. This intentional act allows for rediscovery and the unfolding of a story. Concealment, recollection and reconstruction mirror Cameron’s experience as an immigrant artist. Through painting, she recovers and reimagines the culture, rituals and colors of her native Philippines, honoring the fragments that remain and giving form to the cultural inheritance that continues to shape her.
