Mysterious Seductive Photographs And Playful Horse Paintings Juxtapose In Hamptons Exhibition

Sydney A. Braatby Sydney A. Braat

Home Arts

The White Room Gallery’s latest captivating visual experience is a joint exhibition: Hidden Desires by Ann Brandeis and Horse Show by June Kaplan. A group show, with works from Anna Fenimore, Alyssa Peek, Zoe Breen, Kevin Bishop, Asia Lee, Kat O’Neill, and Melissa Hin, will also be highlighted. The exhibitions will be on view from Thursday, October 26 through Sunday, November 12, with an opening reception on Saturday, October 28 from 5 to 7 p.m.

“This show exhibits the darkly mysterious and seductive photographs by Ann Brandeis, juxtaposed to the primitive, colorful and playful horse paintings by June Kaplan,” stated Andrea McCafferty of The White Room Gallery.

Ann Brandeis has traveled the world, seeking images to incorporate into her visual thoughts and dialogues. She has an MFA from Pratt Institute and teaching positions at Rochester Institute of Technology, Fashion Institute of Technology, NYC, and Manhattan Marymount College. She recently published her book Color Processing and Printing for Prentice Hall and has several accomplishments validating her expertise, including multiple IPA, Luci awards, PX3 Prix de la Photographie, WPGA Awards, Society for Education Juror’s Award, upon which selected works were exhibited at the Center for Fine Art Photography. Brandeis’ work has been exhibited in multiple national and international venues. The presented work by Brandeis is part of an ongoing series called The Landscape of Memory.

“By combining both realism with the many techniques favored by the surrealists, including the alteration of space, perspective, tonality, focus, manipulation, the content of the image is then open to the viewer’s personal interpretation,” said Brandeis. “Memories are visceral, they are not dependent upon a strict visualization of an event or a scene recreation. Rather, they often surface, sometimes unexpectedly, triggered by visual clues, sounds, smells, which serve to remind us of an experience, a feeling or component of life.”

Brandeis’ work features darkly printed sepia images that are both mysterious and elegant. The light in the images directs viewers’ eyes. All images are printed on handmade Japanese Kozo Paper or all rag paper. Brandeis continues to interweave her themes of memory, reality, and fantasy. Her images reveal a slice of life, imagination, and dreams. A new image is created through the combination of realism and surrealism. A sense of solitude, sensuality, and melancholy desire reappear throughout Brandeis’ work. Some images tell a clear story, while others are left for interpretation. Brandeis looks to the viewer to participate in her work. All work is produced using archival materials and each image is framed using conversation methods. The images are limited editions.

June Kaplan described her artwork in the form of poetry:

“i paint horses for love, for the love of a
friend who lives in the South. It is this
labor of love that i find i out do myself.
in going beyond my preconceived 
notions i have created a body of work
that hangs together so to speak.
it is harrowing at times, i have lost many
good pieces in the process-yet with each
journey i learn to allow myself to
leave the studio let the
image dry to wait for another time, have  coffee, get into HG or
start a new canvas.
the one idea i wish to express is i believe
with no uncertain terms, that when i ask for help from The Gods i undoubtedly 
receive divine intervention to create to
the best of my ability good works.”

The White Room Gallery is located at 2415 Main Street in Bridgehampton. For more information, call 917-526-2767 or visit www.thewhiteroom.gallery.

  • If all you know about Calissa in Water Mill is the celebrity-packed VIP section, you might be missing the big picture. The real star is the food. Calissa is the best Greek food in the Hamptons – confidently classic, casually chic – just what I’m looking for in a Hamptons dinner. ⁠
⁠
Thankfully, Calissa is not a reincarnation or reinvention. The focus is on execution and quality, not ego and look-what-we-can-do. It’s a classic for a reason.⁠
⁠
I may not be a food critic, but my fiancé is a private chef (actually, she’s “THE” private chef), so you already know how well we eat. That is to say, we had an incredible meal at Calissa, and I don’t think enough people are talking about how phenomenal the restaurant is.⁠

  • The 12th Annual Luxury Luncheon returned to Southampton Village with all the sparkle, star power, and style you’d expect from one of the East End’s most exclusive events.

  • On Tuesday, July 22nd, Olympic gold medalist Kerri Walsh Jennings hosted a charity Hampton Volley Tournament at Kirk Park Beach in Montauk. The tournament featured eight dynamic teams, uniting elite professional athletes, local lifeguards, and community members. Net proceeds from the tournament will go to the Hampton Lifeguard Association and P1440 Foundation, aiming to unite, empower, and inspire through the transformative sport of beach volleyball. ⁠
⁠
Simultaneously, a VIP gifting suite and lounge at Hero Beach Club in Montauk kept the momentum going with music by Rachel Winters and Ana Boo. To mark the special occasion, guests were treated to Hammitt bags with Montauk Tattoo personalized leather bag tags. In true VIP fashion, drinks flowed all throughout the day, compliments of Tito’s, Saint Spritz, Avaline, and Montauk Brewing Company. ⁠

  • Montauk has a new hospitality gem: Mary Lou’s Montauk. The high-energy, design-forward concept that blends coastal dining with a sense of playful excess. Mary Lou’s offers nightly dinner service, a full cocktail lounge and weekend music programming that blends nostalgic vibes with fresh energy.⁠
⁠
After launching in Palm Beach, the team behind Mary Lou’s, Alex Melillo, Joe Cervasio, and Topher Grubb, are bringing the vibe north, teaming up with NDT Development to open a new outpost at 474 West Lake Drive.⁠
⁠
Alex Melillo, co-founder of Mary Lou’s, shared about the origins of the concept, why Montauk was the next natural step and what guests can expect from this summer’s new venue.⁠
⁠
Can you walk us through the journey of how the idea for Mary Lou’s came to life?⁠
⁠
The idea for Mary Lou’s was born out of a genuine love for creating lasting memories and shared experiences. We’ve always admired the golden era of New York’s nightlife – when people went out to truly let go, to dance without restraint, and to enjoy the moment without ego. There was a certain magic back then, a raw energy that felt authentic and uninhibited.⁠

  • “Tonight is our most successful benefit ever!” said Louis Bradbury, LongHouse Reserve Board President, “We’re grateful for our co-chairs Gael Towey and Raisa Lopez-Rhoden, for their incredible leadership in bringing tonight to life.” For this special evening, themed, “LUMINOSITY’, the 16-acre sculpture garden and nature sanctuary lit up with vibrant colors, live music, community love, and lots of laughter. “With 100% board participation, our benefit sold out before invitations were ever sent!“, continued Bradbury, “How many of you have come to LongHouse more than once in a year? Have you seen the four seasons here? Daffodils, cherry blossoms, and azaleas in Spring; lush green of Summer; brilliant Autumn leaves, and spectacular snowdrops and witch hazel in Winter. Tonight, we come together in gratitude for all of it.”⁠
