About this Event

Gallery 1871 is proud to present "Beneath the Surface," a compelling duo exhibition featuring the work of multi-disciplined artist Arlene Byster and abstract painter Patricia Markos Dolan.
Running from February 5 through April 11, 2026, the exhibition explores the physical and metaphorical layers used by both artists to reveal deeper meaning within the natural world and the human experience.
The Exhibition Concept"Beneath the Surface" invites viewers to look past initial impressions to discover the intricate narratives of identity, memory, and nature buried within the medium. While their techniques are vastly different—one rooted in high-tech optical precision and the other in the physical accumulation of paint—both artists use layering as a tool for storytelling and discovery.
