On view Jill Baroff: in a grove
On view through May 8
Since the mid-1990s, Jill Baroff has been strongly influenced by Japanese architecture, which she categorizes as “floor-based,” as opposed to the West’s emphasis on verticality. With top surfaces painted a solid color and hand routed grooves, Baroff’s tree trunks installed on the Bronx Museum outdoor terrace create an individualized experience using the interplay of shadow and color.

On view through June 26

Working in the nineteenth century tradition of painting en plein air, or outdoors, is central to Larko’s practice, as she spends months or years working on her canvases directly in the presence of her subjects.
