INNERDISCIPLINARY

IAN FELICE, REBECCA HALL, RENE RICARD

Opening: November 8th, 6-8 PM

November 8th - December 14th, 2025

Innerdisciplinary is a three person show featuring Rene Ricard, Rebecca Hall and Ian Felice. The exhibition title is a playful take on the idea of interdisciplinary, since the trio of painters here each rose to acclaim in other fields of culture. The late art critic Dave Hickey once wrote that he did some of his best writing while driving on a lonely highway at night. So perhaps Rene Ricard dreamt up his best paintings while working on a new poem for “God With Revolver.” Or Rebecca Hall was ideating her next composition while filming “Peter Hujar Day.”

During a recent studio visit, Ian Felice said of “The Old Deep Wounds of the Heart,” his largest painting in this group show, “Ambiguity, that’s the key to it. Maybe it’s not a real umbrella, it’s a metaphor for shelter. And it’s okay to get wet sometimes.” Creatives who are able to shift gears into different mediums often have a deeper sense of nuance, embrace the lyricism in uncertainty. Some problems you can’t fix with words. You answer them with feelings.
