The Shadow Side of Everything, Pt. 2
April 16 - May 3, 2026 | Opening April 16, 6-8:30 PM London, UK
The Shadow Side of Everything, Pt. 2 continues an evolving transatlantic dialogue, bringing together artists from the UK and New York whose practices engage painting as a site of instability, negotiation, and material inquiry. Following the first iteration in Huddersfield, this second chapter expands the project’s focus on process, perception, and the generative tension between control and contingency.
Across the exhibition, works resist fixed interpretation, instead unfolding through shifts in scale, surface, and structure. Gestural mark-making, provisional forms, and layered revisions foreground painting as an active field—one in which meaning emerges over time through sustained looking. The exhibition invites viewers to move through a space where clarity and ambiguity coexist, and where the “shadow side” becomes less a metaphor than a condition: a way of understanding how images form, dissolve, and persist at the edge of perception.
On view through May 3. Presented by Terrace, London.
Cross Currents 2
May 7 – June 6, 2026 | Opening May 7, 6–8 PM
Cross Currents 2 returns to New York with an expanded transatlantic dialogue, bringing together artists from the United States and the United Kingdom. Curated by Robert Melzmuf, Christopher Blyth, Karl Bielik, and Rob Hall, the exhibition is presented across Rosebud Contemporary and Makowski Gallery in Chelsea.
Building on earlier iterations in New York, Yorkshire, and London, the project continues to explore painting as a site of exchange—where material process, perception, and geography intersect.
On view through June 6. Presented by Rosebud Contemporary & Makowski Gallery, New York.
