CON-Dense: A Group Show

CONDENSE is a look at contemporary artists who construct within restrictive space. These artists layer, compact, weave, & build in explosive detail, in a tense effort to maximize a new plane economy. 

Featuring emerging and established artists who work with grandiose abandon on smaller pictorial planes utilizing painting, drawing, assemblage and montage.


TYLER FERREIRA is already a master printmaker, while still in his 20s, and uses the antiquated process of lithography to unearth the unconscious mechanics of street art language.


DINAH KIRGO is an emmy-award winning TV show writer, turned contemporary artist.  She makes dense collages inspired by her childhood hallucinations.
