An expat returns to the Lower East Side

Half Gallery opens its second exhibit tonight: a show of oils including The Circus Tent at Night From a Helicopter (pictured), by artist Robert Hawkins. Renowned in the art community (Hawkins' 1985 painting of a glacier was hanging over Jean-Michel Basquiat's death bed), the American-born, London-based artist is a favorite of GQ style guy Glenn O'Brien, among others. That he's showing at Half Gallery makes perfect sense—the space was founded by designer Andy Spade, writer/editor Bill Powers, and sometime memoirist James Frey. Also? Hawkins used to live a couple of doors down.
Through June 14 at 208 Forsyth St., New York, NY, no phone, halfgallery.com
