Exhibitions > Earth/Sky and in Between

Parallax Modern, a contemporary art gallery in Chesterfield, New Jersey, will present Earth/Sky and in Between, a group exhibition bringing together nine artists whose diverse practices explore perception, place, memory, abstraction, and the human experience.

The exhibition features artists from New Jersey and Pennsylvania and reflects Parallax Modern’s commitment to presenting compelling contemporary work from the region. Bringing together painting, photography, mixed media, encaustic, ceramics, and experimental photographic processes, the exhibition offers viewers an opportunity to experience markedly different artistic perspectives within a single intimate setting.

Featured artists include Joel AdasKaren Brown, https://jeffevansstudio.com|Jeff Evans|, Geoff Hindle, https://www.brendadhowell.com|Brenda Howell|, https://www.hubbardimages.com|John Hubbard|, Mitzi Miraflor, Scott Rosenthal, and Laura Lyn Stern.

Among the works on view:
Geoff Hindle presents moody, spectral Polaroid transfers that transform familiar imagery into atmospheric and elusive visions.

Joel Adas brings a vivid neon palette to his gouache paintings, creating energetic compositions that balance color, gesture, and abstraction.

John Hubbard creates ethereal, cloud-like abstractions that evoke shifting atmospheric and emotional landscapes.

Brenda Howell combines expressive visual forms with text and encaustic, creating works in which language becomes both image and message.

Mitzi Miraflor explores the urban landscape through photography of Belfast, capturing the character of the city.

Scott Rosenthal turns his camera toward Philadelphia, offering distinctive photographic perspectives on the city's evolving urban environment.

Jeff Evans creates intriguing figurative paintings with a collage-like sensibility, layering imagery to produce complex and psychologically charged compositions.

Laura Lyn Stern presents contemporary ceramic reliefs that emphasize texture, dimensionality, and the physical possibilities of clay.

Karen Brown presents illuminated photographic works that combine archival imagery, acrylic, light, and surface intervention.

Together, the artists create a conversation between the recognizable and the abstract, the physical and the ephemeral, and the seen and the concealed.
