Final week to see Linnea Paskow, “Ecstatic Collapse” at Equity Gallery, presented concurrently with Carol Diamond, “Go Ahead, Make Me” in the Equity Gallery Project Space and Aaron Brodeur, “Is it going good in the garden?” in the Equity Gallery Courtyard. The gallery is open daily through Saturday, 12–6 PM.

Additionally, please join us for the closing reception on Saturday from 3–5 PM. Light refreshments will be provided as the artists lead tours of their respective shows.

In “Ecstatic Collapse,” Linnea Paskow's inaugural solo exhibition in Equity Gallery, the artist debuts a cycle of vibrantly colored works painted on salvaged drop cloths that loosely correspond to the classical elements—earth, air, fire, and water—not as illustrations of elemental conditions, but as “energy states” emerging from environmental overload.

Needing space to act out the psychic push/pull of mind vs. emotion whilst resisting a complacency culminating in a disquieting stasis, Paskow spread 6 × 9 ft. drop cloths across the rooftop of her Bushwick home and let it rip with a Pollock-like chromatic storm that paid homage to both abstract action-painting techniques and earlier narrative mythologies—albeit through an unabashedly feminist lens. Fragments accumulate throughout the works—plastic debris, rooftop skies, animal forms, and gestural marks—pressing against one another until a fragile order begins to emerge. Images surface and dissolve within dense fields of color and texture, at times vivid and immediate, at others slipping back into the surrounding atmosphere.

For Paskow, “the work circles a wound”; a chromatic storm where destruction, color, and elemental force become vehicles for spiritual transformation. The paintings “resist resolution,” they remain “suspended between coherence and unraveling” as “beauty can arise from visual excess.”

Featured Work:

Slide One: Linnea Paskow, "Slurp Flower (Earth)," 2025, mixed media (acrylic and oil) on drop cloth, 72” x 108” (6’ x 9’)

Slide Two: Linnea Paskow, "Low Signal (Water)," 2025, mixed media (acrylic and oil) on drop cloth, 72" x 108" (6' x 9')

Carol Diamond, "Go Ahead, Make Me," is on view in the Equity Gallery Project Space through June 6, alongside concurrent exhibitions Linnea Paskow, “Ecstatic Collapse” in the main exhibition space and Aaron Brodeur, "Is it going good in the garden?" in the Equity Gallery Courtyard. The gallery is open Wednesday through Saturday, 12–6 PM.

In "Go Ahead, Make Me," Carol Diamond presents small to mid-sized sculptures built from discarded urban materials-bent metal, broken glass, car parts, cables, fabric, and wire mesh-bound together with epoxy and concrete. Through an intuitive process, these cast-off fragments are transformed into abstract, organic forms that explore growth from destruction, beauty from imperfection, and resilience from fragility. The title evokes a dialogue between artist and material, as the city's remnants seem to challenge their own transformation.

Featured Work: Carol Diamond, "Fossil Flower," 2026, pigeon strip, metal, glass, concrete, epoxy, 14”x 9”x 9”

Aaron Brodeur, "Is it going good in the garden?" is on view in the Equity Gallery Courtyard through June 6, alongside concurrent exhibitions Linnea Paskow, “Ecstatic Collapse” in the main exhibition space and Carol Diamond, "Go Ahead, Make Me," in the Equity Gallery Project Space. The gallery is open Wednesday through Saturday, 12–6 PM.

"The sculptures [in "Is it going good in the garden?"] suggest adaptive relics from a world that continues to pursue paradise through artificial means, creating environments that feel both resilient and quietly tragic. The sculptures are assembled from accumulated, sourced, reclaimed, and transformed materials including concrete, wood, plastics, marine debris, and industrial remnants. Through processes of coating, layering, heating, carving, assembling, and painting, discarded matter is converted into hybrid forms that appear grown, contained, eroded, or sustained through synthetic ecosystems. These works operate as specimens within an evolving landscape, occupying a middle ground where cultural fossils continue to metabolize debris and invent new functions, revealing a sense of awkward dignity, endurance, and dark humor. The title frames the installation as a gentle but uneasy inquiry, half curious and half doubtful, a deadpan wellness check on paradise long after it has been reshaped by human intervention.”

—Aaron Brodeur

Featured Work: Aaron Brodeur, "Violence in Paradise," 2026, cement clay, mortar, foam, wood, acrylic, spray paint, hardware, mesh, marine debris, 90” x 33” x 29”

Equity Gallery is pleased to present "Ecstatic Collapse," Linnea Paskow's inaugural solo exhibition at Equity Gallery.

On view in the gallery's main exhibition space, "Ecstatic Collapse" debuts a cycle of vibrantly colored works painted on salvaged drop cloths that reference the classical elements as luminous incidents emerging from environmental overload.

Needing space to act out the psychic push/pull of mind vs emotion whilst resisting a complacency culminating in a disquieting stasis, Paskow spread 6 x 9 ft. drop cloths across the rooftop of her Bushwick home and let it rip with a Pollock-like chromatic storm that paid homage to both abstract action-painting techniques and earlier narrative mythologies-albeit through an unabashedly feminist lens.

As “Probus” comes to a close, we want to thank everyone who spent time with the exhibition over the past several weeks!

It has been a privilege to live with these works and to witness the many ways the participating artists engaged with drawing in their practices. We are deeply grateful to the thirty-nine artists included in the exhibition, as well as to everyone who visited the gallery, attended programming, and shared the show.

In homage to Raphael Sanzio da Urbino, an exemplary figure in the classical canon of art historical drawing, “Probus” invited artists to consider what drawing means within their practices. Whether as a tool for exploration, an articulation of process, or as its own chosen medium, the artists in the exhibition collectively demonstrated the boundlessness of drawing as a vehicle for expression.

We would also like to thank Jane Sangerman and Mark LaRiviere for their wonderful concurrent exhibitions, “Liminal Rift” in the Equity Gallery Project Space and “Crisis” in the Equity Gallery Courtyard.

Thank you, as well, to everyone who joined us yesterday for the curator tour, panel discussion, and closing reception. It was a wonderful way to conclude the exhibition and celebrate the remarkable artists involved.

Though the exhibition has now closed, the online storefront remains active on NYAE's website for those interested in revisiting the work or inquiring further.

We also hope you will join us on May 14 from 6:00–8:00 PM for the opening reception of three new exhibitions at Equity Gallery: Linnea Paskow, “Ecstatic Collapse” in the main gallery, Carol Diamond, “Go Ahead, Make Me” in the Equity Gallery Project Space, and Aaron Brodeur, “Is it going good in the garden?” in the Equity Gallery Courtyard.
