The summer exhibition at Silverlens New York prospects vocabularies on the immanence of more-than-human ecologies, symbolism and iconography embodied in contexts of diaspora, repatriation and social dissonance.

In 'Steps,' Jon Pettyjohn’s third solo exhibition at Silverlens, the artist advances his pursuit of personal expression within the framework of traditions and techniques to which he has dedicated himself for close to fifty years.

Through a remarkable merging of subject, style, and concept, Nona Garcia's compositions unceasingly generate images that situate viewers within the vague yet monumental aspirations of the real—all culled from her immediate surroundings and encounters—where the poignant, emblematic, and personal moment becomes shared epiphanies in her paintings.
