ABOUT THE EXHIBITIONS

Transcendence by Chris Martin

Transcendence showcases Martin’s unique approach to abstract expressionism, combining intricate details with bold and vibrant colors to create works that transcend the ordinary. The exhibition marks a significant milestone for Martin as he celebrates 28 years of his career as an artist. Martin's works seek a balance between organic formation with a painterly construct. Martin's intention is to create an atmosphere that vibrates with energy and balance. His dedication to building a strong, aesthetically engaging presence that evokes a calm excitement of natural beauty is truly remarkable.

Lost & Found by Ian Kimmerly

Ian Kimmerly straddles the line between figuration and abstraction in his new oil paintings. His heavily layered compositions create a sense of temporality and motion, allowing the viewer to interpret the images in their own unique way. The works in Lost & Found are assemblages of fleeting moments, fading glimpses of the small yet meaningful interactions that shape our sense of the past, present, and future. Both everyday and transcendent, these moments (often between strangers) hint at an undercurrent of truth, grace, and interconnectedness.

There’s Nothing Here. Except Everything by Rob Grad

Rob Grad's series of photographic works capture moments of stillness and beauty in the midst of chaos and noise. Each piece in the exhibition is a story of our fragile and sometimes messy relationship with ourselves and our environment, with an offering to explore deeper consciousness. We tend to think of ourselves as flesh and bone, but it’s electromagnetic energy that makes us alive. These works were created to promote introspection, honor our environment, and provide a window into those unseen forces.

MOXIE by Toni Martin

Toni Martin's works are a powerful expression of self, showcasing her ability to communicate her thoughts and emotions through color, form, and movement. Her wall sculpture pieces are designed to captivate the audience and ultimately bridge the gap in human connection. MOXIE is a celebration of Martin's creative genius and her unique ability to articulate and feel free.

Grit & Glory by Steve Wrubel

Steve Wrubel has made a name for himself as one of the top rodeo photographers in America. His new series, titled Grit & Glory, showcases the power, leather, dirt, and sweat of the American rodeo. The exhibition promises to be a spectacular display of Wrubel's remarkable talent and passion for capturing American rodeo culture's beauty and excitement.
