The White Room Gallery, voted the best gallery in the Hamptons at Dan’s Papers “Best of the Best”, will present This Is Different, a solo exhibition highlighting the work of abstract artist Linda Colletta. The show will spotlight large scale abstract work from Colletta, on view from July 12th through July 18th at the gallery located at 2415 Main Street Bridgehampton, NY 11932.
This Is Different will include a new body of work from Colletta’s Drop Cloth collection where she intricately weaves together the industrial, the found and the ephemeral in a candidly organic method. Through her use of up-cycled painters’ drop cloths, she incorporates the history of random paint, dirt, spills, drips, and seams left behind as the foundation of a visual landscape exploring the relationship between the dark and light.
The exhibition will feature works including A Cup of Something Frothy, Blue Jeans I & II, and Queen of the Night, which will adorn the white walls of the expansive White Room Gallery.
Colletta is an abstract artist, who has been creating art in various mediums for over 25 years. At 19 years old, she began her artistic journey as a scenic artist creating backdrops and scenery for live televised performances by Coldplay, Brittney Spears, Jennifer Lopez, Green Day, among others. She left the scenic art world after 20 years to dedicate her life to her painting career. Her work has been exhibited at Monika King Projects, White Room Gallery, Southport Gallery, Burning Man, The Affordable Art Fair, and The Other Art Fair. Private collections include Justin Bieber, Memorial Sloan Kettering, New York Presbyterian, and 277 Fifth Ave.
Co-owners and directors, Andrea McCafferty and Kat O’Neill, opened The White Room Gallery in 2015. The gallery features contemporary art with a provocative twist of inspiration.

McCafferty and O’Neil also present performance art, theater, and comedy at The White Room Gallery Culture Club with proceeds given to a selection of different charities.
