Upcoming Gallery Shows:
Surreal Visions of the Unseen
The Illuminated Depths of Color, Light, and Shadow
This Gallery Exhibit invites the viewers into a dreamlike realm where reality bends and the unseen takes shape. This exhibition weaves together three different artists, each illuminating the depths of the human psyche through color, light, and shadow. Shannon Shaw’s vibrant, whimsical mutations are jewel-toned relics of forgotten myth, which pulse with an eerie vitality, drawing us into a playful yet unsettling dreamscape. Max Shuff crafts charcoal drawings, where stark and subtle contrasts carve hybrid forms from light and shadow, blending the familiar with the primal in a shadowy dance. George Peyton transforms photography with digital brushstrokes, revealing photographic yet painterly scenes and figures that veil universal sentiments beneath the dramatic images.
Come and peer into the illuminated depths where beauty and the surreal converge in a testament to the power of the unseen.
