Night gallery is pleased to present a series of new monoprints by Hasani Sahlehe in our Tribeca, New York viewing room from November 13 - December 18, 2026.

In this, his third iteration of monoprints, Sahlehe explores working with woodblock allowing for improvisational cumulation of color, producing unexpected and complex hues that range from deep and saturated to direct and vibrant. These works on paper echo the post-and-lintel structures of his canvases, yet differ in their execution, emerging through successive layers of ink to yield jubilantly surprising combinations of color.

Made using four woodblocks on a modified offset lithography hand proof press, these monoprints introduce a new methodology to Sahlehe’s practice. Modular templates allow areas of color to be added or removed, creating forms that resemble puzzles whose edges never quite align. Through the literal stacking of color, Sahlehe’s ongoing investigation of color weight takes on a new dimension, as overlapping surfaces generate ethereal lines, shadowy impressions, and a heightened sense of color’s material presence.

These prints were created in collaboration with master printmaker, Rob Swainston at his studio, Prints of Darkness, in Queens, NY.
