Darren Waterston
Last Time I Saw You
July 7, 2022 - August 20, 2022
Greg Kucera Gallery is pleased to present our
fifteenth one-person exhibition of work by New
York artist Darren Waterston since 1993. This
exhibition, titled Last Time I Saw You, is the artist’s
personal and intimate reflection on loss, dream
states, and the desire to articulate the unknowable
or unseeable. The otherworldly and atmospheric
compositions of Waterston’s paintings have
references to celestial bodies, spectral apparitions,
water and air, light and shadow, and the act of
flight.
“More personal in nature, these paintings
record my own navigation through the
loss of a friend and the poetic pathos and
even joy, that can come out of
contemplations of impermanence.”
– Darren Waterston
