INDEPENDENT NEW YORK
May 9-12, 2024
For its fifth participation in Independent New York, Off Paradise is pleased to debut Maximilian Schubert’s new series of works, “Untitled (Smoke),” in a solo presentation on view from today through May 12, 2024.
“Schubert’s luminous “canvases” are cast urethane resin objects—hybrids, really, of painting and sculpture that refuse to cohere into one or the other. Comprising layer upon translucent layer of poured, pigmented resin, they evoke, with the most subtle of means, the ever-shifting palette of the sky over New York City.” writes Nancy Spector.
In early June of last year, uncontrolled fires blazed across Canada, turning New York’s skies into hazy shades of yellows, greys, and oranges. Iconic landmarks disappeared behind grey veils of smoke, wafts of yellow oxides, pyrrole reds, and burnt umber sunsets filtering into acrid oranges and pinks. The city lights pricked at the night like shimmering static. In fear and awe, we looked out at a city transformed by a fugitive and sinister beauty.
INDEPENDENT 15 x 15
May 9-12, 2024
Off Paradise is delighted to also participate in Independent’s 15th anniversary exhibition with Peter Nadin.
Co-curated by Independent founder Elizabeth Dee and Matthew Higgs as a special anniversary initiative, 15×15: Independent 2010-2024 features artists and galleries who have made a significant impact on Independent’s history.
The gallery is presenting “Red Figure Walking to Red Boat (Volcano Erupting)” and “Sharkey’s Cow Beneath a Culvert,” the two companion paintings to Centre Pompidou’s “Curt and Mert Landscaping” from The Distance from a Lemon to Murder (2020) series.
INDEPENDENT 20TH CENTURY
September 7 – 10, 2023
Off Paradise is pleased to announce our participation in Independent 20th Century. The gallery will exhibit historic works by Peter Nadin (b. 1954, Bromborough, U.K.). A key figure of the downtown New York art scene of the late 1970s and 1980s, Nadin is a painter, sculptor and poet whose work explores the practice of mark- and image-making as fundamental, evolutionary human functions.
Off Paradise will present for the first time in over three decades View II or The Artist, (1986), a striking self-portrait of the artist, and the anchor piece of the 1987 “Views” exhibition at Brooke Alexander Gallery, and, subsequently, of “Peter Nadin: Recent Work and Notes on Six Series,” his retrospective at Yale Center for British Art in 1992.
On loan from a Distinguished American Collection, this important work is entering the collection of a major European Institution.
This presentation in the historical setting of the landmark Battery Maritime Building is conceived as a send-off celebration for View II or The Artist to its new home.
The gallery will also debut a selection of watercolor and pastel works on paper from “Views II” (1987), the companion series to “Views” (1986-88), presented here for the first time since their creation.
Nadin’s work is in public and private collections in the U.S. and Europe, including The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Museum of Modern Art, and the Yale Center for British Art.

INDEPENDENT NEW YORK
May 11-14, 2023
We are delighted to announce our return to Independent New York, taking place at Spring Studios from May 11-14, 2023.
Off Paradise will present Two Minutes to Midnight, a two-person exhibition debuting new work by Michael St. John and Mitchell Charbonneau. A rigorous chronicler of contemporary American culture, St. John explores notions of violence, tragedy, narcissism, indifference, and consumerism through strategies of appropriation and assemblage. Charbonneau’s sculptural interventions similarly deconstruct and recast everyday commercial objects, from folding chairs to air fresheners, with material exactitude and visual wit.

INDEPENDENT NEW YORK
September 9-12, 2021
We are pleased to announce our first-time participation in the Independent Art Fair, taking place at the Battery Maritime Building from September 9-12, 2021.
For Off Paradise’s Independent debut, the gallery will show new and previously unseen work by Scott Covert, Maximilian Schubert and Mitchell Charbonneau.
The exhibition will explore definitions of the body, primarily in its absence, at this marvel of a venue:
“The Battery Maritime Building’s unique design has come to define it as a landmark. Built in the Beaux-Arts Structural Expressionist architectural style, the building’s exposed trusses and rivets contribute to its ornate splendour. A bastion of civic and heroic architecture, it recalls the grandeur of 19th century World Fair halls, and “it is probable that no building designed in similar style will ever again be erected in the City of New York.”
VIP Preview Day:
Thursday, September 9, 11am – 8pm
Public Fair Days:
Friday, September 10, 12 – 7pm
Saturday, September 11, 12 – 7pm
Sunday, September 12, 12 – 6pm
