GROUP SHOW w/ Paulownia Projects <3

Exhibition Opening Celebration: Friday, July 11 5pm - 8:30pm

Exhibition Dates: July 3 - August 30, 2025.

This group exhibition showcases the work of artists that create uncanny works toying with magical realism. Each work presented here is a detailed observation of nature both imagined and real. These various diminutive works create unique, fully realized worlds for us to inhabit. Jump through space in a wormhole that alternatively leads from a raucous showdown between a red squirrel and an acorn woodpecker to the serene quietude of a lonely mountainside. These amazing works are overflowing with the vitality of life that exudes the fever of a racing heart. The mundane and everyday witness of life is also elevated in painstaking detail in a way that celebrates the perseverance of nature and an everchanging city landscape. Like the Paulownia tree that named the gallery, these images endure and grow in our hearts in a way that is unescapable and painfully beautiful.

Please join us in celebration of these warmly invasive hearts.

Opening Celebration: Friday, July 11 from 5pm to 8:30pm.
