Black-and-white photograph of four people in formal attire posing in front of a large abstract expressionist painting. One man is seated in front wearing glasses and a suit, while the other three—two men and one woman—stand behind him. The woman stands with one hand on her hip, smiling at the man beside her, who holds a cigarette. The textured painting behind them features energetic, gestural brushstrokes in light and dark tones. The image evokes a mid-20th century gallery setting.

Martha Jackson in Paris

September 4, 2025–May 17, 2026 — UB CFA Gallery

A vibrant mixed-media work featuring bold red, yellow, green, and black forms outlined in heavy black lines. The composition includes abstracted flowers with green centers and radiating red petals, spiraling circular motifs, and skeletal figures with triangular noses, round eyes, and teeth-like grids. A large yellow hand with red and white accents emerges from the center, surrounded by looping organic shapes and layered patterns. The background is mostly yellow with subtle variations in tone and texture.

Black and white lithograph by Ida Adler depicting a partially constructed or demolished building framed by a white picket fence and angled support beams. Stylized urban architecture rises behind the site, including arched windows, geometric rooftops, and simplified high-rise buildings. A shadow from a streetlamp or post stretches across the foreground. Created in 1937, the print reflects WPA-era interest in urban labor and modernist abstraction.

Water, Grain, Steel: Industry and the Erie Canal

September 12, 2025–February 28, 2026 — UB Anderson Gallery

Three porcelain sculptures of women wrapped in draped, straitjacket-like garments stand side by side. Each figure wears a partial gold luster mask that obscures the face. The white porcelain forms are cracked and textured, evoking fragility and constraint. The figures vary in pose, but all appear bound and silent, evoking themes of institutionalization and suppression.
