THE SIXTH SEASON


  • Abigail Ogilvy Gallery 460 Harrison Avenue #C7 Boston, MA, 02118 United States (map)

Abigail Ogilvy Gallery is pleased to announce its first solo exhibition by Boston-based painter Wilhelm Neusser. In this newest body of work, a thicket of forsythia or a chain link fence create a space just out of reach, suggesting a longing for an indeterminate place or time. The show’s title, The Sixth Season, refers to a mysterious missing panel in a series by Pieter Bruegel the Elder. Like the work of this 16th century forerunner, Neusser’s paintings invite speculation. What or which time is lost? The Sixth Season contrasts our nature as social beings with the experience of a season lost, the pandemic spring of 2020.
