860 Washington Street is now showing three works by New York-based painter Allison Gildersleeve in the lobby gallery through August 2025. The exhibition is open to the public from 9 AM – 5 PM, Monday through Friday.
Gildersleeve’s colorful and densely layered paintings blur the lines between abstraction and realism––sweeping gestural marks quickly become a tabletop or tree, only to fade away as they merge with a neighboring passage. Serving as portraits of the places she frequents, both urban and rural landscapes, the paintings morph and change just like they would in our memories. Gildersleeve is constantly revisiting and revising these works as an integral part of her process, illustrating that a place is never truly frozen in time.
