Welcome to the interior worlds of two remarkable artists creating across mediums and references. Each with their own distinct and expansive painterly vocabulary, who better to guide us through their solo exhibitions than the artists themselves? 

Join us for back-to-back artist-led tours through the wildly different and symbiotic worlds of Philip Smith and Vickie Pierre. 

Vickie Pierre: The Maiden is The Warrior is the first solo exhibition by Brooklyn-born, South Florida-based artist Vickie Pierre. We’ll explore over 40 works, including immersive installations and collages that explore memory, identity, and Pierre’s Haitian heritage through a blend of the ornamental and the surreal. This meditative show curated by Adeze Wilford, transforms the gallery into a space of resilience and cultural interconnectivity.

Philip Smith: Magnetic Fields is a five-decade career survey of the Season Four commissioned artist. With over 50 works that traverse metaphysical themes through a unique pictographic language, from enigmatic early drawings to his monumental new Energy Painting, this exhibition offers a vibrant visual feast and an intellectual journey into Smith’s spiritually charged artistic world.
