Join us on Thursday, October 22nd from 5:30-7:30pm for the opening reception of ‘Rhythm of Memory’, an abstract exhibition by Liz Barber.

‘Rhythm of Memory’ is an artistic exploration of recollection through a series of fluid, atmospheric abstracts. The washes of color and soft texture reflect the persistent ‘Rhythm of Memory’ that flow over your mind like the gentle roll of ocean tide.

The exhibition bridges organic cellular forms with expansive airy palettes where boundaries blur and shapes dissolve into one another. Delicate line work and sweeping arrays of color come together to create a sense of emotional depth that feels both vast and intimate. The interplay of heavy earth tones, oceanic blues and luminous whites evoke a calming atmosphere, inviting viewers to wander through a landscape where the past and present bleed together.

All works are available for presale! DM to request a collector’s catalog.

“‘The Weight of Time’, a Morton Contemporary Art Gallery exhibition of paintings by 10 artists serving life sentences at SCI Phoenix prison, lays bare heartache, hope and the crushing force of hour piling upon hour.” — Constance Garcia-Barrio

“The Weight of Time” is on view through Monday, May 25, 2026. This exhibition supports the artists and Mural Arts Philadelphia, which provides materials, mentorship, and a vital creative outlet for artists impacted by incarceration.

Morton Contemporary is excited to present its first immersive exhibition: Alchemy: The Sound of Color, by multidisciplinary artist DONNA ISHAM, opening Saturday, June 6, 2026. Created in collaboration with her husband, MARK ISHAM — EMMY & GRAMMY AWARD winning musician and Academy Award-nominated composer— the series brings together large-scale paintings, project-mapped animation, and original musical scores.

Renowned for his film scores, including Crash and A River Runs Through It, and for his work as a trumpeter alongside artists such as Joni Mitchell, Mark infuses the work with a deeply cinematic emotional resonance. Together, Donna & Mark create immersive environments that dissolve the boundaries between contemporary art, film, and performance.

This exhibition expands painting into a luminous, multi-sensory experience where abstraction, moving image, and sound converge.

Alongside their immersive work, a collection of Donna’s stunning abstract and figurative paintings will also be on exhibtion. To RSVP use link in bio. Show expected to sell out, so please reserve soon!

The father of NFL New York Giants, ABDUL CARTER, recently acquired artist Keith Andrews powerful original painting, THE USUAL SUSPECTS, here at Morton Contemporary Gallery in Philly.

Big Carter was deeply moved when he saw this painting hanging in Morton Contemporary. Big served 10 years in federal prison. The work of our extraordinary artist, Kieth Andrews, who is serving a life sentence, really spoke to Big.

Big said in no uncertain terms - “I did not choose this painting. The painting chose me.” We are so grateful that Keith’s painting has found a beautiful home and owner.

Turkish artist Didem Yağcı joins Morton Contemporary! Stunning 3-dimensional sculptural art made of wood that combines optical illusion, structure, and refined color.

Didem Yağcı is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice has been based between Istanbul and New York for more than a decade. With an academic background in Chemistry and further studies in Contemporary Art and Design at the London College of Fashion, the artist moves between analytical precision and spiritual intuition through layered explorations of form in wood and plaster. Yağcı engages with the tension and harmony between Western analytical approaches and Eastern philosophical sensibilities.

Now available to collect at Morton Contemporary!
