Splash brings twenty-two artists working in abstraction together on Long Island, a place whose relationship to the history of American abstract painting is as deep as the paint itself. In the wake of local legacies, this exhibition asks what it means to be an abstract artist now: who inherits that legacy, who extends it, and on whose terms. Legendary painter Lee Krasner's work, made in the same light and landscape that surrounds Amagansett, remains a touchstone not only for the region but for the ongoing project of abstraction itself: rigorous, sensory, and persistently alive.

The artists presented in Splash come from Long Island and beyond, from New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Atlanta, with distinct practices that share a commitment to the possibilities of non-representational form. The works on view span a range of approaches to abstraction: gestural and geometric, luminous and dense, intimate and expansive. What unites them is not a shared style or medium but a shared reckoning with color, surface, and mark as primary languages, and with the question of what abstraction can hold. In bringing these visions together at HESSE FLATOW EAST—a space that once served as Donald Baechler’s studio—the exhibition situates contemporary abstraction within a lineage it neither defers to nor escapes, proposing instead a living conversation across generations, geographies, and identities.
