So excited to share Tappan’s New York exhibition, “Proximities”.
“Proximities” is an exploration of intimacy in its many forms—the quiet, the fleeting, the profound. In a city like New York, where proximity and distance coexist in a constant rhythm, intimacy takes on new dimensions: between people, within solitude, in fleeting glances, and in the spaces we inhabit.
Through painting, photography, and sculpture, the exhibition considers the ways intimacy is shaped and expressed—how we hold it, hide it, and share it. Some works reveal the closeness of personal relationships, the weight of unspoken words, or the quiet rituals of self-connection. Others reflect on the intimacy we forge with our surroundings, how objects carry memory, and how spaces—both public and private—become vessels of attachment.
At times tender and restrained, at others raw and unguarded, the works in invite viewers to examine their own relationship with intimacy: the moments that linger, the ones we long for, and the ones that slip away
The exhibition will run from May1st - 22nd, and is open from 11am - 7pm daily. There will be a reception May 13, 5 -7pm
Located at: 100 Grand Street, New York, NY 10013
