Geary is pleased to present Earth tones, a solo exhibition by Alan Prazniak, on view February 21 - April 12, 2026. This will be the gallery’s fifth solo show with Prazniak.
Earth Tones is a collection of work that chronicles Prazniak’s time moving his studio to the Catskills from Brooklyn in 2024. Tones refers to the colors of the surroundings, but perhaps more importantly, the frequency of the mountains. Prazniak writes: “There’s a music to them, it can be overwhelming if you let it in. Staring at a giant hill in the distance, listening to it hum, falling under the spell of whatever’s out there. But finally turning your back to it to go into the studio, trying to make something of it.”
Alan Prazniak was born in 1985 and was raised on a horse farm in rural Pennsylvania. The artist received a BFA from Tyler School of Art at Temple University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and an MFA from Rutgers in New Brunswick, New Jersey. Prazniak’s work has been shown at: Geary in New York City; Hesse Flatow in New York City; Kristen Lorello in New York City; and Silvermine Galleries in New Canaan, Connecticut; among others. Prazniak has also shown work with Geary at Untitled Art Fair Miami Beach in 2021, Nada Miami in 2019, and Untitled San Francisco in 2019. Prazniak’s work has been covered in Artform, Forbes, Whitehot magazine, Two coats of paint and Flaunt magazine, among others. Prazniak lives and works in Neversink, New York.
