A Slash of Blue / A Sweep of Gray traces the sky as subject and abstraction across a century of art, from Arthur Dove and Charles Burchfield to Lois Dodd and Daniella Portillo. Titled after an 1861 Dickinson poem, the exhibition — conceived as a companion to Byron Kim's solo show — considers how artists have looked upward to reckon with perception, emotion, and the sublime. Works range from intimate plein air paintings to expansive chromatic abstractions, proposing the sky as an active interlocutor rather than passive backdrop.
