This abstract artwork features a vibrant color palette of blues, reds, and black, with a dynamic composition of overlapping shapes and lines. The piece appears to depict a celestial or organic composition, with circular forms resembling planets or cells floating amidst a swirling, energetic background.

Sofia Sinibaldi constructs visual compositions through a layered, additive methodology that merges direct photography and portable flatbed scanner captures. By scanning or photographing urban surfaces—during her walks and commutes—she creates montaged forms printed on delicate tissue paper and layered under clear acrylic or windows. The resulting images hover between photographic trace and abstraction, populated by faint cues—bus tickets, graffiti fragments, film sprocket edges—that dissolve into atmospheric washes of color and texture. Sinibaldi’s work resists legibility, favoring the ephemeral, associative, and tactile experience of looking Her practice embraces fragility and process: the tissue substrates tears, creases, and shifts; each alteration becomes part of the composition. This openness provokes ambiguity and invites the viewer to fill narrative gaps. She treats drawing and photographic capture as equal languages of expression, where meaning emerges through repetition, iteration, and accumulation. Her layered sensibility evokes afterimages—semi-remembered, shifting, unresolved—and creates a visual tension between memory and forgetting, physical surface and emotional resonance. Ultimately, Sinibaldi offers immersive work that rewards close observation, prompting reflection on perception, impermanence, and the poetics of the everyday. ...
Founded in 2013 by Nicole Russo, Chapter NY is committed to supporting artists at various phases in their careers, by providing first solo shows and offering a platform for specific investigations within more established practices. By focusing on solo-presentations and working closely with each artist, Chapter NY helps realize tightly envisioned exhibitions that foster artistic exploration and growth. Russo brings over two decades of gallery experience to actualizing Chapter NY's program, drawing on her longstanding relationships to encourage ambitious presentations. The gallery started as a weekend project space before growing into a full-time operation, first representing artists including Mira Dancy, Willa Nasatir and Adam Gordon. In addition to an expanding gallery roster, Chapter NY has also provided a flexible platform for non-represented artists working across a range of media and experience, such as Keltie Ferris, Jesse Stecklow and Anicka Yi. In doing so, Chapter NY maintains its original mission to present experimental projects beyond the scope of traditional exhibitions. The program includes artists working in site-specific installation, sculpture, ceramics, video, drawing, painting, and photography. Represented artists have recently exhibited at the Whitney Museum of American Art; the Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami; the Los Angeles County Museum of Art; the Museum of Modern Art, New York, the New Museum, New York; Tate Britain; the Venice Biennale; and Atlanta Contemporary, Atlanta; among others. ...
