Can humans live in harmony with nature?\u00a0 Indonesian artist Agus Putu Suyadyna\u2019s new paintings at Sapar Contemporary<\/a> featuring an astronaut in various lush, natural environments suggest that the possibility is tantalizing but unrealized.\u00a0 Whether holding a sunflower or embracing a chimpanzee, the astronaut\u2019s protective gear testifies to an alienation from the natural world that is compounded by the ominous reflection of a barren landscape in the visor of their helmet.

On view in Tribeca through July 7th. Note holiday hours and summer hours.)<\/p>\n
