This Lincoln’s Sparrow by Peter Daverington is wise and approachable, its portrait framed by radiating action beams in a Manhattan micro-park. The site itself is barely 5,000 square feet—a triangulated scrap wedged between crisscrossing streets, a byproduct of chaotic city “planning” and rapacious real estate self-interest. Still, through care and intention, this public patch has been shaped into a small oasis. Daverington has spoken about broad painterly interests coalescing in his work, along with an awareness of cycles of collapse and renewal, class struggle, and the evolution of species. Here, one of his wise, enigmatic heads is rendered in portrait language—an intelligent presence meeting your gaze on a grey, cold winter’s day.
