Thousands of carefully selected fragments come together in Ship Shape, an intricate large-scale collage by Helmut Barnett. Drawn from vintage technical manuals, engineering diagrams, textbooks, and other printed ephemera collected over many years, each piece is meticulously placed to create a layered visual narrative that invites endless exploration.⁠
⁠
Sweeping ribbons of vibrant acrylic bring the vintage imagery to life, creating a striking dialogue between technical precision and expressive abstraction.⁠

In Lakeside 23, Michael Hedges transforms a lakeside view into a dynamic study of color, line, form, and texture. Layer upon layer of energetic brushwork creates an extraordinary variety of surfaces and color planes, giving the painting both depth and movement.⁠
⁠
Hedges describes his approach as an exploration of color relationships through form, with the physical application of paint playing a central role. The result is a work that feels simultaneously structured and spontaneous and recognizable as Hedges' own.⁠

Laine Bachman creates a surreal nocturnal landscape where exotic animal forms inhabit a richly imagined botanical world. Hybrid figures, nocturnal creatures, and lush tropical vegetation come together in an exquisitely detailed dreamscape shaped by myth, mystery, and transformation.⁠

Snippets and Clues by Linda Gritta reflects her interest in the space between recognition and abstraction. Gritta describes her process as an ongoing dialogue with the painting—letting intuition, color, and discovery guide what comes next.⁠

Marco Reichert’s multilayered abstractions are defined by bold geometric forms, sweeping lines, and richly textured surfaces. In this 2025 painting, deep brown and soft pink move across the canvas in layered bands and gestures, creating a striking tension between structure, movement, and texture.⁠

Hunt Slonem has made his signature bunnies a central part of his work for decades, exploring repetition, form, and color. In Yesenia, the bunny is cast in bronze with a deep blue patina that shifts from cobalt to navy. The polished surface creates a mirror-like effect, catching and reflecting the light.⁠
