Grant Haffner at Damien A. Roman Fine Art
Now on display in the lobby of the Montauk Beach House are the colorful landscapes of Grant Haffner. Haffner is known for his distinct style of transforming the winding roads and highways of the East End into colorful and propulsive planes and vistas, beautifully depicting the array of colors East Enders are treated to every evening as the sun sets. See how Haffner disposes of the conventional division of sky and earth, and recreates the Hamptons landscape into a single plane of colors, set against the uniform telephone poles and other manmade additions that either obscure or contribute to the landscape, depending on how you see it.

Haffner’s exhibit will be on display until June 27 at the Montauk Beach House, 55 S. Elmwood Avenue, Montauk. For more information, visit damienaromanfineart.com.

Radical Seafaring at the Parrish Art Museum
On display through July 24 at the Parrish Museum, this multidisciplinary exhibition curated by Andrea Grover features the work of 25 artists tracing pieces from the 60s and 70s that are more conceptual and performance based, to contemporary works involving site-specific art and the relocating of the artist’s studio or performance space to the water. A true marvel and probably the season’s number one must-see show! Read our review coming soon.

The Parrish Art Museum is located at 279 Montauk Highway in Watermill, open Wednesday through Monday. Additional information can be found at parrishart.org.
