THE MEASURE OF THINGS

LINDSAY WALT

September 09 - October 03,2026

Helm Contemporary is pleased to present "The Measure of Things," an exhibition by Lindsay Walt — her first with the gallery.
Walt's paintings inhabit the territory where the industrial landscape merges with atmosphere. Working intuitively, she builds surfaces through the accretion, scraping, and adjustment of viscous oil paint, arriving at compositions where structure and touch become inseparable. Layers of luminous color interact with taut linear elements to form spaces that feel simultaneously constructed and unstable — perspective skewed, weight shifted, compression and expansion generating an illusion of space that is as psychological as it is physical.

Cast acrylic sheet, 36 x 18 x 3.25 inches

Helm Contemporary is pleased to present Full Transparency, an exhibition of work by Christian Haub, opening April 4.

Working in nonrepresentational painting since the mid-1970s, Haub began incorporating colored cast acrylic sheets as supports in the late 1980s, eventually transitioning to relief works composed entirely of Plexiglas. These works begin with cast acrylic in liquid form, which, once cured, is cut, arranged, and bonded into layered, rectilinear compositions. The resulting pieces explore color, light, shadow, transparency, and opacity within the disciplined framework of gridded matrices.

About the artist

Christian Haub has exhibited widely both in the United States and internationally, with presentations in France, Spain, Italy, Peru, and Serbia. In 1983, he was awarded the Rome Prize in Painting.

In addition to his exhibition practice, Haub is the founder of TennisportArts, an artist-run space in Long Island City, and has organized numerous exhibitions, most recently Beauty is a Blast, a tribute to his close friend Jeremy Gilbert-Rolfe, at Artcake.

Full Transparency marks Christian Haub’s first exhibition with Helm Contemporary.
