Storefront Bushwick, a tiny pristine gallery occupying a storefront—as most young galleries in Bushwick do—presents an eye-catching assortment of new work from Halsey Hathaway, Gary Petersen, and Rob de Oude. Hathaway employs sprayed paint, acrylic, and acrylic stain that give his hallucinatory kaleidescopic large-scale canvases a striking texture that is as enjoyable upon closer inspection as it is from a distance. Petersen's abstract paintings, while smaller, offer a similar exploration of geometry, scale, and perspective. But don't stop at the front room. In the project space in the next room, de Oude, who is the Gallery Director of Camel Art Space in Williamsburg, takes saturation, layering, and intermeshings of forms to new levels. Each of these small-scale vibrantly dense works are more rewarding with each additional moment spent lingering before it. As your eye attempts to grow accustomed to the patterns, new ones emerge to foil your efforts and leave you feeling slightly dazed, but invigorated.
