'Of Light And The Absence Of,' a New Exhibition by Grason Ratowsky

“Of Light And The Absence Of,” a solo exhibition featuring new paintings by Grason Ratowsky, is set to debut at Hedda Sterne Studio in East Hampton, an environment steeped in palpable artistic history. The exhibition, presented by Alexander DiJulio, opens with a reception on Friday, August 25, from 4 to 8 p.m. and will follow with private viewings through September 1.

The legendary space of painter Hedda Sterne (1910-2011), which was frequented by some of the 20th century’s most prominent art figures and luminaries, provides an evocative backdrop for the exhibition. Ratowsky’s works blend with the studio’s ambiance, a respectful nod to the walls that silently observed the evolution of art history.

Embarking on this journey, audiences delve into Ratowsky’s singular artistic repertoire, building upon the successes of recent exhibitions in Korea and Spain, which have left an indelible mark on art enthusiasts. Ratowsky’s third exhibition this year signifies a return to his artistic origins in New York. Through his distinct artistic language, he invites viewers to explore the intricate tapestry of the human condition.

This exhibition not only highlights Ratowsky’s emergence as a rising luminary in the contemporary art scene but also pays homage to East Hampton’s enduring role as a hub of artistic inspiration and innovation. The collaboration between Ratowsky and DiJulio bridges past and present, reshaping artistic narratives within the cherished Hedda Sterne Studio — an embodiment of heritage and its enduring relevance.

Hedda Sterne Studio is at 212 Hog Creek Road in East Hampton. Contact Alexander DiJulio to confirm an appointment to view the exhibition at alex@alexanderdijulio.com or 610-757-8866.
