Keyes Art in Sag Harbor will present a series of exhibitions between July 1 and July 28, highlighting five women artists, each of whom occupies a lot of space in the Keyes universe — Rozeal, Carol Ross, Agathe Snow, Fay Lansner (1921-2010) and Leslee Stradford — all five of them gutsy and independent.

Rozeal’s show opens Saturday, July 1, with a reception from 6 to 9 p.m. She mixes and matches from different sources, creating charged and beautiful paintings with personalities like courtesans from Japan’s Edo period (1603-1867) fused with 21st-century hip-hop stars. These are her “Afro-Asiatic Allegories.” Rozeal will be exhibiting a series of new paintings and drawings. A fully illustrated catalog dedicated to more than 20 years of her work will be available at the gallery.

Carol Ross and Agathe Snow’s show opens Saturday, July 8, with a reception from 6 to 8 p.m. Ross has been exhibiting art since the 1960s. Guild Hall featured her work a few years ago with an exhibit of 16 mid-sized aluminum sculptures and a group of plywood reliefs. Throughout her career, Snow has used photography, drawing, collage, installation, zines, film, and video. More recently, Snow has created assemblages made from found objects and discarded materials. Snow has exhibited internationally: creating a large installation at Deutsche Guggenheim in 2011 and, more recently, Moran Moran in Los Angeles, where she presented nine new paintings and a 13-minute film titled “One Enormous Day.”

Fay Lansner’s show opens Saturday, July 15, with a reception from 6 to 8 p.m. Lansner (1921-2010) was a painter of profound complexity and daring. Her work extended over six decades, fueled by an exhaustive pursuit of drawing and pictorial space. Her sinuous lines defied conventions by depicting idealized images of emboldened and liberated women. The Hamptons Fine Art Fair will be honoring Fay Lansner from July 13-15.

Leslee Stradford’s show opens Saturday, July 22, with a reception from 6 to 8 p.m. The artist and educator was raised in Hyde Park, one of Chicago’s most diverse neighborhoods. She has exhibited worldwide at galleries and museums, and the Oakland Museum of California. In 2021, Leslee Stradford had a solo exhibit titled “Padraos” at The Church in Sag Harbor. She is currently on view at The Parrish Museum in “Artists Choose Parrish” in which Stradford pays homage to Robert Motherwell with her four large-scale abstract works.

Keyes Art is at 45 Main Street, Sag Harbor. For more information, visit juliekeyesart.com.
