Paintings Inspired by Late-Night NYC Subway Life Opening February First Friday at Flight Gallery

San Antonio, TX — February 2026 — Flight Gallery at Blue Star Arts Complex presents a new exhibition of paintings by San Antonio based artist and NYC expat Ann Enzminger. Based on late-night photographs taken on the New York City subway, the exhibition opens with a soft opening on Thursday, February 5, from 6–9 PM, followed by an opening reception on First Friday, February 6, from 7–10 PM. Both events are free and open to the public.

The paintings are drawn from photographs taken during the artist’s daily commute from Williamsburg, Brooklyn to the Morris Park neighborhood of the Bronx during late-night hours between 2010 and 2015. The work reflects years of commuting across the city after midnight, documenting shared moments of waiting, fatigue, and quiet presence among strangers moving through New York together.

Rather than spectacle, the exhibition focuses on the ordinary intimacy of public transit at night—when time stretches, service falters, and riders are bound together by the simple goal of getting home. The work functions as a quiet love letter to those anonymous passengers captured in passing.
