Please join us for Undercurrent, the next exhibition from under the pale blue, showcasing paintings, sculpture, and photography by sixteen women and non‑binary artists. This expansive exhibition navigates themes of domesticity, the objectified body, mysticism, and abstraction. Exploring materials which span the familiar and the industrial, such as, discarded baby clothes, matted toilet paper, and dripping latex. The work traces how being read as female can confine, distort, or empower. Shifting from tenderness through humor to unapologetic ferocity, Undercurrent taps a collective current of experience and invites the viewer to wade in.
Sticking true to our mission, under the pale blue aims to amplify emerging voices and carve out space for the underrepresented creators of the thriving arts community of New York.
One Eyed Studios has graciously welcomed us back to be featured in a vibrant lineup of gallery openings, studio tours, and food specials curated for Ridgewood Open Studios 2025. Throughout the weekend, you’ll be free to roam the hallways—weaving from the gallery into artists’ intimate workspaces for a behind-the-scenes look at their creative process.
Join us on opening night for complimentary drinks, live music, and the spark of conversation that keeps your curiosity alive. The exhibition will remain open throughout the week, featuring special programming such as artist talks and a curator’s walk-through.
Thank you for growing with us; your presence makes all the difference.

PRESENCE // .absence
This exhibition is spread throughout an industrial, two-story creative artspace, featuring five galleries of work that each individually and collectively comment on the tension between existence and non-existence. We are curious about the challenges of perception. How do we balance personal experience versus collective knowledge?
This sampling of stunning works of art gathered through an open call strongly illustrates the themes of existential quandary that are occupying our collective unconscious.
The audience is asked to reflect on how identity is defined by not just physical form but by emotional resonance and historical weight. We have merged form, material, color and lack thereof to explore the intricate interplay between life + loss, lightness + darkness and what it means to witness this exchange. The work itself and the overall experience of the exhibition are both physical and conceptual, inviting reflection on how presence can be felt in what is seen, and how voids subtly mold our perceptions.
Presence meaning spirit. Presence meaning identity. Or presence being defined by absence.
