View Pleasure Spread, a two-person exhibition featuring Tara Sabini and Jeremy Plotkin Wong. Sabini’s maximalist paintings meet Wong’s biomorphic ceramic sculpture in an exhibition where pleasure is never uncomplicated. Attraction draws the viewer in, then begins to misbehave.

Sabini draws from the theatrical abundance of seventeenth-century Flemish still life, using pattern, ornament, and the body to explore sensuality, scrutiny, expectation, and shame. Wong pushes the ceramic vessel beyond utility, creating swelling, curling, and contorted forms that appear animate without becoming fully figurative. Together, the artists examine the point at which attraction becomes more complicated and pleasure begins to exceed its expected boundaries.

Pleasure Spread is on view October 9–November 7, 2026.
