The Light That Loses, The Night That Wins

From March 21st to May 2nd, 2026, Mrs. in Maspeth, New York, presents the first New York solo exhibition of Molly Bounds, titled ‘The Light That Loses, The Night That Wins’. This exhibition highlights hyperrealistic paintings where female figures unfold in compositions of remarkable emotional intensity. Each canvas captures moments of transition – bodies leaning back, hair carried by the wind, gazes turned towards the sky – evoking abandonment and transcendence. The palette alternates between warm golden tones and deep greens, creating atmospheres that are both soothing and unsettling. It is a poetic exploration of the interplay between light and darkness, between vulnerability and resilience. The exhibition offers a contemplative experience where formal beauty and emotional depth converge. Don’t miss this important step in the career of a promising artist who questions the representation of the female body.
