Dutchess County Pistol AssociationBetween Black and White
At Gallery 40, Between Black and White presents a group exhibition of four contemporary artists working across painting, textile, photography, and mixed media. Centered on the expressive range of a limited palette, the show pairs crisp contrasts with measured touches of color that function as deliberate interruptions. Grounded in the dialogue between darkness and light, the work illustrates how constraint can expand artistic language. Each artist brings a distinct approach, from graphic abstraction and intimate photographic studies to tactile, sculptural forms, revealing how monochrome can heighten form, surface, movement, and meaning. Brief flashes of color appear like punctuation, shifting perception and guiding the eye. Rather than treating black and white as opposites, the presentation lingers in the gradations between them, emphasizing nuance, ambiguity, and quiet transitions while drawing attention to structure, materials, and the play of light and shadow. Featured artists include Jill Enfield, Yoko Izu, Holly McCabe, and Jennifer Prevatt.
