Built from stacked wooden sticks and paint, “Mask 140” by Gil Bruvel is one of those works that pulls you in closer.

From afar, a face begins to emerge. Up close, it becomes all texture, shadow, color, and movement, with each small piece contributing to the larger whole.

Quiet, dimensional, and incredibly detailed, this piece is even more striking in person. On view at Momentum Gallery.

Consider this your sign to make time for art.

Located in the heart of downtown Asheville, Momentum Gallery offers two levels of contemporary and modern work by emerging and mid-career artists along with some masters of their medium. From paintings and original prints to sculpture, and mixed media, each visit brings a new perspective.

Start with a walk through the gallery, stay for the artwork that makes you pause, and let the afternoon unfold from there. We’d love to welcome you in.

Two artists. Two distinct perspectives on the landscape.

Two Perspectives brings together North Carolina painters David Shingler and Danna Ray in a shared exploration of wilderness, atmosphere, and the changing rhythms of the natural world. From sweeping vistas and quiet creeks to shifting light across mountain landscapes, each artist captures nature in a way that feels deeply personal yet universally familiar.

While their approaches differ, the conversation between the works is what makes this exhibition so compelling. Loose brushwork, intuitive color, and a strong sense of movement invite viewers to experience these landscapes not just as places, but as moments felt in real time.

Due to an incredible response, Two Perspectives has been extended through June 27. We invite you to spend time with the exhibition and experience the work in person before it closes!

Step into the forest, then look a little closer.

In Crystalline Forest, Bradlee Shanks transforms woodland landscapes into richly layered dimensional serigraphs that blur the line between photography, painting, and sculpture. Built through dense layers of translucent and opaque ink, the works shift with light and perspective, revealing trees that feel both tangible and dreamlike, suspended somewhere between memory and place.

There’s a quiet stillness to these pieces, but also movement. Fog through branches. Reflections on water. Light caught in the landscape for just a moment longer.

Crystalline Forest is on view at Momentum Gallery through June 27. We invite you to experience the exhibition in person and spend time with these luminous works up close!

From atmospheric cyanotypes and layered abstractions to sculpture in glass, metal, ceramic, and wood, the exhibition is a celebration of lasting creative relationships, material curiosity, and the artists who have helped shape the spirit of the gallery over the years.

At once a homecoming and a look ahead, New Works | Old Friends is now on view a little longer.
