DIVERGENTS In Support of the Simone Gad Foundation

The exhibition honors those who, through resilience and innovation, have transformed exceptional personal, physical or societal challenges into compelling artistic expressions.

DIVERGENTS will feature new works from the Simone Gad Foundation’s first two solo show recipients, Dena Novak (2023) and Frank Paletta (2024). Also returning is Nicolas Preston, who has been studying art through one on one sessions with Paletta and showed with him in his 2024 exhibition. Introducing for the first time at bG Gallery will be the conceptual installation and sculptural works of Xixi Edelsbrunner. These artists will have their works alongside historical pieces by Simone Gad and other trailblazing creators. This showcase brings together emerging contemporary and historical artists who have forged unique paths, thriving outside mainstream norms and redefining what it means to be an artist in today’s world.
