Exhibition: Reverberations

April – October 2025
New York City

CURATOR

Victoria Gildersleeve

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

“Reverberations,” brings together a dynamic group of artists whose works layer abstraction with embedded cultural references, creating compositions that are both personal and universal. Through mixed media, painting, weaving, and sculptural interventions, these artists engage with memory, identity, and collective experience, offering glimpses of familiar cultural moments hidden within expressive gestures.

Each piece invites the viewer to uncover hidden narratives within abstraction—fragments of history, echoes of tradition, and gestures of reinvention. Echoes in Abstraction celebrates the fusion of cultural touchpoints within contemporary abstraction, revealing the richness of layered storytelling through material and form.
