The Show
Mélange is a bold summer presentation that revels in contrast rather than cohesion. This kaleidoscopic exhibition brings together a diverse group of artists—some from the gallery's roster, others newly invited—for a dynamic exploration of divergent aesthetics.
Spanning minimalist steel sculpture, Neo Geo abstraction, evocative landscapes, experimental still life, and digitally manipulated photographic works on industrial materials, Mélange sets each style in sharp relief. Rather than blending, the exhibition invites viewers to engage with the tension, humor, and dialogue that arise when divergent artistic languages collide.
A summer show made to surprise, provoke, and delight.
