Marinaro is pleased to present Sky, a group of new small paintings by Ridley Howard with a particular focus on the significance of space. Howard’s paintings exist in a quietly charged place between minimalism and intimacy, realism and abstraction. His work often depicts everyday moments — a glance, a kiss, a figure in repose — yet there is a palpable stillness and timelessness that gives his paintings a poetic and contemplative edge. Howard’s ability to make the mundane feel mythic is central to his artistic power.
