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.
