gail morris bonner david galleries 2718906

Artist Gail Morris presents "Blue Note," a solo exhibition at Bonner David Galleries in New York, featuring bold abstract paintings that explore the emotional and psychological experience of light, space, and music. The show's title references the musical concept of a "blue note," which Morris reinterprets as a compositional strategy to create tension and balance in her works. While starting from physical landscapes—such as natural sites, urban parks, or islands—Morris obscures specific details, using titles like "Down By the River" (2025) and "Bird of Paradise" (2025) to evoke universal moods rather than literal scenes. The exhibition runs through November 29, 2025.

Albert Yuk Shuttered Light Exhibit Opens in Reed Gallery

On April 12, the Reed Gallery opened 'Shuttered Light,' an exhibition of photographs by Deerfield Academy student Albert Yuk (class of 2026). The show juxtaposes staged war scenes from a Beijing film set with real wartime documentation from Israel and Iran, aiming to highlight media bias and the blurring of authenticity in news imagery. Yuk, who has traveled to conflict zones including Israel, Iran, Kazakhstan, and Afghanistan, began his photography career working for Pulitzer Prize-winning Chinese photojournalist Liu Heung Shing. The exhibition includes personal favorites like 'Intersection of Tradition and Modernity' and 'Warrior’s Respite,' reflecting themes of freedom, liberty, and gender roles.
