Cooper’s images are made primarily along the coastal and inland waterways of the world. Refuge features photographs made between 1998 to 2018 along the Eastern seaboard and the Hudson River, anchored by 21 images of seascapes and interior landscapes he made on the East End during his 2016 exploratory commission sponsored by the Lannan Foundation with the Parrish Art Museum.

Moments/Stories

MM Fine Art in Southampton presents “Moments/Stories,” paintings by Peter Beston. The show runs through May 19. The British-born artist had a long career as a film editor before becoming an artist. Now an East End resident and full-time painter, Beston’s work utilizes precise composition. His work is generally described as realist, but his paintings often contain elements of the surreal.

Dream Of Roses

The William Ris Gallery in Jamesport welcomes the beauty of spring with the exhibit “Dream of Roses (Rêve De Roses),” a photographic collection of roses by Takashi Matsuzaki. The debut exhibition runs through May 19. There will be an artist talk on Saturday, May 11, from 1 to 3 PM.

Equal parts Tokyoite and New Yorker, Matsuzaki’s roots lie in fashion and he continues to be a sought-after makeup artist. His natural gravitation towards photography eventually led to a concentrated focus on roses, particularly as Matsuzaki has a deep appreciation for and collects perfumes.

Reu’ven Gayle

The exhibition will run through May.
