Here, There, Anywhere, paintings by Doug Madill, is on view September 22-October 25. Madill’s most recent work was made in New York City, Bangkok, Thailand, and in an imaginary realm rendered in landscapes of subdued light, as if from passing storms.
His tranquil, imaginary landscapes are rendered a subtle palette of varied grays and subdued color, derived from dream-memory, and real life outdoor study. Often his paintings, though invented places, invoke memories in the viewer of a real place important to him or her.

The club is at 248 DeKalb Avenue in downtown Brooklyn.
