'Gold' showcased in new art works

Slate Gallery presents an exhibition of new work by Miriam Cabessa, featuring her new series of gold paintings titled, “79,” after the atomic number for gold.

Her new paintings, a series of large and medium-scale gold abstract paintings, utilize gold’s inherent reflective and attractive tactile properties while alluding to its iconic status as the ultimate safeguard against financial instability.

The exhibition runs now through March 7, with a closing reception March 5 at 6 p.m., with a Gold Party at 9 p.m. Slate is at 136 Wythe Avenue in Williamsburg; call 718-387-3921.
