DESCRIPTION:Sep 16 - Nov 7\, 2026\nAfter the October 7 attacks of 2023\, Zo
 ya Cherkassky arrived in the United States as a double émigré\, a unique
  outsider. She said of her life\, “Nothing feels like home to me.” Bor
 n in Kiev\, Ukraine\, in 1976\, much of Cherkassky’s early work drew fro
 m her experiences growing up in a restrictive Soviet Russia. “People are
  still afraid of being misunderstood or immediately placed into one camp o
 r another\,” she said in an interview. “I don’t think everything has
  to be reduced to that. Art should leave room for complexity instead of te
 lling people what they’re supposed to think.” At 14\, Cherkassky left 
 with her family for Israel\, where she could fully embrace her Jewish iden
 tity. Now in Long Island\, after a move she described as a “panic\,” h
 er paintings investigate American life and its layered social fabric. In s
 cenes that picture the contained chaos of Katz’s deli or a family’s cl
 ose-knit Shabbos dinner\, Cherkassky tries “to understand what it means 
 to arrive somewhere that already feels familiar.”
