Three New York Gallery Shows Feature Grid Paintings by Roberts, Hartling, and Whitney

Three concurrent exhibitions in New York galleries showcase artists working with grid-based painting. Russell Roberts presents new work at Heskin Contemporary, exploring seriality and risk within a structured format. At Janet Kurnatowski Gallery, Cynthia Hartling exhibits paintings that engage with similar formal concerns. Wallace Whitney's exhibition at Horton Gallery adds to this collective presentation of grid-oriented painting practices. These shows highlight a continued interest in systematic approaches to abstraction among contemporary painters. The exhibitions run simultaneously, offering viewers a chance to compare different artistic interpretations of the grid structure. Each artist brings distinct visual language to this shared formal framework. The presentations demonstrate how contemporary painters continue to reinvent geometric abstraction.
