Jeronimo Elespe at Eleven Rivington

After seeing just a few pieces in Madrid-based painter Jeronimo Elespe’s latest show at Eleven Rivington, it won’t come as a surprise to find out that he paints at night. Figures and interiors materialize out of the darkness; here, a staircase seems to magically end in a pool of reflected light, anchored by a sniffing dog. (On the Lower East Side through Dec 20th.)

Jeronimo Elespe at Eleven Rivington

Madrid-based painter Jeronimo Elespe’s tiny oil on aluminum paintings seem to be dematerializing before our eyes, as in this hazy view of a working artist titled ‘The Short Painter.’  Elespe works at night, capturing shimmering light and ghostly blue lines that speak of mysterious possibilities.  (At Eleven Rivington’s 195 Chrystie location on the Lower East Side through June 14th).
