Not Too Late: A Benefit Exhibition Organized in Collaboration with Art into Acres 3 May - 7 June 2024This May, Charles Moffett is pleased to present a special group exhibition, Not Too Late, featuring new and recent work by 21 artists and organized in collaboration with Art into Acres. A long-term philanthropic partner of the gallery, Art into Acres was founded by artist and conservationist Haley Mellin in 2017 as a nonprofit initiative that transforms the proceeds from the sale of donated artworks into acres of conserved land. Through this special exhibition, the gallery strives to raise collective awareness and catalyze the fundraising for Indigenous-led land conservation. In a testament to the gallery’s steadfast commitment to this cause, Charles Moffett is honored that all ten of the gallery’s represented artists have donated their work to the exhibition; and is deeply appreciative of the generous contributions of eleven artists with whom the gallery has had close and meaningful ties throughout its first six years.Read more -

Biography
Sam Bornstein (b. 1983, New York; works in New York. MFA Hunter College 2017, BFA Bard College 2005). Bornstein’s layered figurative paintings evoke an invented world that mirror contemporary life and personal narratives through the filter of the imagined. In alternately luminous and muted light, a variety of characters from New York City, folklore, media, and the collective imaginary coexist in scenes that are familiar, yet resist closed readings. Often portraying multiple figures involved in ambiguous tasks, work, or leisure, his works play with perception of reality and dream states, creating a sense of familiarity that requires the viewer to apply their own experiences in order to complete the narrative. The paintings' tension of material and image often refer back to the act of painting, and recall Postwar and Modernist painters from Northern, Central, and Eastern Europe.
