Samantha French, Cool and Wet, 2025, gouache on paper, 23 x 38 inches

With a celebratory spirit as the baseline for this six-person exhibition, The Summer Show is a charming complement to the festive month of July. Several gorgeous, glistening paintings by Samantha French capture sanguine swimmers in brilliantly blue water, including “Summer Solstice” and “Bon Vivants” (both 2024). “Time Traveler Heat Wave” (2025) by Clark Derbes is a playful geometric-patterned sculpture made of polychrome sugar-maple, and Margaret G. Still’s “Green Gas Station” (2025) is a dreamy vision of what could be a pit stop on a summer road trip, while Andrea Moreau’s “Poland (Glider)” (2023) depicts a frosty landscape of white mountains, the utter antithesis of this steamy season.
