Feb. 23–Apr. 1, 2023
Chart Gallery, 74 Franklin Street, Tribeca (chart-gallery.com) Spanning ten new paintings — all in earthy pink hues, as the exhibition’s title suggests — and a 74-inch-long paper mâchée sculpture of a woman leaning back placidly in a bathtub, Shona McAndrew’s latest exhibition celebrates the indulgence of simply being. Several works portray the artist and her partner, adding another layer of intimacy to compositions like “Bedtime” (2023), a more relatable take on art history’s ever-present reclining nude, or “Hold You” (2023), which captures the unique satisfaction of grabbing a handful of booty. Far from commodified, mediagenic expressions of so-called “self-care,” McAndrew’s vision of rest is soft and compassionate. “I’ll Have What She’s Having”: The Jewish Deli
