Mark Seidenfeld Sets Sail into “Uncharted Waters” with New Exhibition

The Bridgehampton Museum is pleased to present Uncharted Waters, a solo exhibition of paintings by Mark Seidenfeld, on view now through June 21^st, 2026. The exhibition inaugurates The Bridgehampton Museum’s Corwith Homestead Tractor Barn, located at 2368 Montauk Highway, a newly renovated, contemporary exhibition space blended into the historic William A. Corwith Homestead campus.

Seidenfeld’s paintings evolve from earlier representational work into fully realized abstraction, where landscape gives way to interior vision. These are not depictions, but constructed fields, dreamscapes shaped through layering, interruption, and revision.

“When asked to describe my approach to painting, I typically say, ‘I set my sails for the deep and uncharted waters,'” stated artist Mark Seidenfeld.

Each work engages what the artist identifies as the Unknown: a condition that resists repetition and continuously shifts. What is resolved in one painting becomes insufficient in the next. The work advances through this instability, with each painting extending, rather than reiterating, the last.
