Earth/Sky and in Between
Parallax Modern presents Earth/Sky and in Between, a group exhibition featuring nine contemporary artists from New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Bringing together painting, photography, mixed media, encaustic, ceramics, and experimental photographic processes, the exhibition explores the ways artists interpret the world around them—and the spaces between what is seen, remembered, imagined, and felt.
The works in Earth/Sky and in Between range from atmospheric and abstract to intensely urban, figurative, and tactile. Together, they reveal distinct approaches to perception, place, memory, material, and experience while creating unexpected connections across media and artistic practice.
Featured artists:
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.
Although the artists work in very different media and visual languages, their work shares an interest in looking beyond the obvious. Earth/Sky and in Between moves between the recognizable and the abstract, the physical and the ephemeral, the personal and the architectural, and the visible and the concealed.
Please join us for the opening reception on Saturday, September 19, 1-5 pm.
