Drawing on the traditions of Romantic landscape painting, Sorensen creates otherworldly scenes where nature feels both familiar and impossible. Through luminous color, shifting atmospheres, and imagined landscapes, his paintings explore beauty, impermanence, and the sublime.

We’re excited to welcome Lydia as Director of 5-50. An artist, curator, writer, and founder and Executive Director of BolsterArts BOLSTERarts, Lydia brings experience across exhibition-making, public programming, artist development, and building sustained relationships around artists and their practices.

Her first weekend as Director of 5-50 begins with the opening of Adam Sorensen’s Adam Sorensen Thieves this Saturday, October 17, from 5–8 pm.

The weekend continues Sunday at Peep Space Peep Space, where Lydia’s longstanding interest in artist-centered public programming comes together with an ongoing relationship with outgoing 5-50 Director Bailey Coleman (who we congratulate on her new position Trotter&Sholer). Lydia will moderate a conversation around Natale Adgnot’s Natale Adgnot (sculptor/fiber artist) solo exhibition Reined In with Coleman, Amy Rosenblum-Martin Amy Rosenblum Martín, and Angelik Vizcarrondo-Laboy ♥ Angelik Vizcarrondo-Laboy ♥

Opening this Saturday, October 17, 5 to 8 PM! Join us at 5-50 Gallery for the opening reception of Thieves, a solo exhibition by Adam Sorensen.

Drawing on the traditions of Romantic landscape painting and the sublime, Sorensen creates otherworldly environments where cascading waterfalls, monumental rock formations, and luminous skies blur the boundaries between the real and imagined. His paintings contemplate the beauty, fragility, and impermanence of the natural world.

We look forward to celebrating with you!

Emily Manwaring’s portraits extend beyond the painted surface.

A Queens-born, Brooklyn-based interdisciplinary artist, Manwaring’s practice is deeply informed by Haitian and Trinidadian cultural histories, exploring identity, materiality, and collective memory.

In this series, oil-painted portraits on palm bark reference the imagery of 1990s and early 2000s hair advertisements. The natural fibers of the bark extend the figures’ hair beyond the painted image, mirroring the sculptural qualities, textures, and cascading forms of Black hair.

Here, the material becomes a physical and symbolic extension of the body. By allowing the palm bark to complete each portrait, Manwaring collapses the boundary between painting and sculpture, creating figures that appear to emerge from the surface and occupy physical space.

5-50 is open today until 6. Wednesday - Sunday 11:30am-6pm, on view through Sunday, October 11.
