Intervals of Mark and Matter Exhibition
comes to Krasl Art Center
On View: August 15 – November 7, 2026
Preview Party: August 14, 6 – 8 PM
Krasl Art Center presents Intervals of Mark and Matter, a group exhibition featuring KC Crow Maddox, Karen Dana Cohen, Evan Mazzelan, Amelia Mendelsohn,
Ivan Montoya, Thương Hoài Trần, and Antonio Scott Nichols. On view from August 15 through November 7, 2026, the exhibition brings together artists whose practices approach painting through layered processes and cross-medium experimentation.
Across the exhibition, painting extends past tradition. The artists work across oil, acrylic, textile, and hybrid approaches, allowing representational imagery to come together in different forms. These works speak to painting as an open field and framework that expands beyond the medium.
The artists draw from personal histories and cultural references to shape works that move between intimate scale and broader social context. Figures, patterns, and textures are built up and reference individual experiences and the artists’ specific perspectives.
Across the exhibition, painting becomes more than a surface; it becomes a language for relation. These images offer a portrait of contemporary painting as a living, inclusive practice, one that reflects the complex emotional and cultural landscapes of the present.
