Joan Waltemath reviews the recent exhibition Sonia Almeida: The Angle of the Sun's Rays at Simone Subal Gallery, New York.

Considering Almeida's painting Diagonal Pathway, Waltemath writes: "each time I see it, it gets better. It's constructed in layers that are separate, like in a print, but which seamlessly open up a void with contours both definitive and soft. To enter into the painting's inhabitable space is to experience a resonant depth, both fresh and capable of connecting with the medium’s long history."
