On Friday, 07 November from 7.00 - 9.00 PM, join us for the celebration of our fall exhibitions. Be among the first to view Salvaged Future and Profile in Ecstasy, plus, enjoy music by DJ .CLOUDED and complimentary drinks.

Known for her expansive, abstract canvases that explore nature, the body, and materiality, Pam Evelyn’s work is characterized by dense layers and rich textures, created through an intuitive process that translates her lived experiences into vibrant, dynamic compositions. Evelyn's works are deeply engaged with the legacy of Abstract Expressionism while maintaining a distinctly contemporary sensibility.

Chris Wolston explores the ecstatic potential of form, where decoration becomes a mode of expression and function yields to fantasy. Drawing from Art Nouveau, pre-Columbian symbolism, and architectural excess, Wolston blurs the line between the sculptural and the domestic. Iconic works like his terracotta and Nalgona chairs appear alongside new creations, forming a richly layered narrative that revels in material transformation, bodily gesture, and the wild, seductive force of nature. Featuring lighting and furniture, the exhibition offers a dynamic and immersive expression of Wolston’s evolving practice.
