Leah Tinari: Lovely Days and Rowdy Nights
Mixed Greens is thrilled to announce their second solo exhibition with Leah Tinari. In Lovely Days and Rowdy Nights, she continues to explore themes of family and relationships through depictions of herself and her friends. As Leah grows, so does her cast of characters.
All of Leah's new paintings, ranging in size from 8x10 inches to 50x60 inches, are still based on photographs from actual events. However, stylized moments, cartoon graphics and related thoughts are intertwined to create a more layered narrative.
Images from outer space, the Museum of Natural History and Leah's imagination are incorporated into the original moment. People who have followed her career will notice that the characters in the paintings are slowly aging and they, as viewers, have been privy to her visual diary.

Coke Wisdom O'Neal: The Box
Mixed Greens is pleased to announce their second solo exhibition with photographer Coke O'Neal. In an exciting new project, Coke continues his unique exploration of portraiture to include an element of performance and discovery.
During the summer of 2005, Coke constructed a 22-foot tall box on the west side of Manhattan and invited friends, family and strangers to the box to have their photos taken. The resulting portraits are undirected, Photoshop-free representatives from Coke O'Neal's New York.
The obvious isolation of each figure sets a stage of loneliness while scale serves to reinforce the sentiment. The traditional Sentry-box is supersized and the person inside is left to their own devices. The final photograph is a trompe l'oeil box within which his subjects become trapped specimens-each unique and telling.
