Ron Gorchov's Watercolor Exhibition 'Curated by Watercolors' Opens at Lesley Heller Workspace

exhibition · 2026-04-22

Lesley Heller Workspace presents 'Curated by Watercolors,' an exhibition dedicated exclusively to Ron Gorchov's watercolor works on paper. Opening on Sunday, September 8, 2013, the show will remain on view through October 13, 2013. Gorchov's watercolors display his distinctive approach to surface, with the paper mounted away from the wall to allow natural curling. His color palette features intense hues like lemon yellow, forest green, neon green, and deep cobalt blue. The works reference Greek mythology, lyric poetry, and 1930s big band music through their titles. Many pieces explore a 'twins in space' motif, creating a visual dance between two elements. The gallery is located at 54 Orchard Street in New York's Lower East Side, with operating hours from Wednesday to Saturday, 11 AM to 6 PM, and Sunday from 12 to 6 PM. This exhibition highlights Gorchov's continued experimentation with materials beyond his signature saddle-shaped canvases.
