Travelers
June 13 - July 25, 2026
Reflects on movement not only across physical landscapes, but through memory, labor, displacement, longing, and transformation. The paintings gathered in this exhibition examine the condition of being in transit: between places, identities, histories, and emotional states. Within these works, travel becomes both a literal and metaphorical act, revealing how individuals continuously negotiate distance, belonging, and impermanence.
Approaches the figure of the traveler not as a tourist, but as a witness. Each canvas carries traces of passage: fragments of cities, shifting horizons, temporary shelters, unfamiliar territories, and remembered homes. Through abstraction and representational gestures, the works construct spaces where movement leaves emotional residue. What remains after departure becomes as important as the journey itself.
The exhibition also reflects on contemporary existence, where movement has become both necessity and survival. Cultural workers, artists, and ordinary individuals navigate fragmented systems, crossing invisible borders shaped by class, memory, labor, and identity. Travel here is not always freedom; at times it is exile, endurance, repetition, or hope. Yet within these shifting conditions, the exhibition locates moments of tenderness, resilience, and human connection.
Green Minded
June 13 - July 25, 2026
90 feet of grey. No green in sight.
Hear the leaves. Smell the grass. Remember Alitaptap.
Look closer. Your phone reveals the landscape.
A 90-foot panoramic memory of Alitaptap Artists Village— where Otto Neri spent half a decade of his life and practice. Waterfalls, forests, brooks, orchards — rendered in grey and white.
Inspired by Monet’s room at MoMA.
Standing inside Monet’s Water Lilies, Neri remembered what it felt like to be surrounded by a landscape. Green Minded answers that memory without using green — immersing the viewer inside Alitaptap instead of placing them before it.
This is deeply personal.
For more than half a decade, Alitaptap was Neri’s everyday environment. He is not just painting a landscape — he is painting his entire experience of living within it.
Technique: Free. Controlled chaos.
Unlike his previous series, this work is Neri unleashed — in dialogue with raw gesture and built surface. Expansive, instinctive strokes. Paint thrown, dragged, and layered until the surface breathes.
Up close: only splashes, drips, and marks.
Through a phone camera or stand in the middle of the room: a solid, breathing landscape emerges.
12 panels, 4x8 ft each.
Splashed with grey and white. Scattered with real dried leaves gathered from the forest floor.
One will not see green.
But one will hear leaves crack and crunch underfoot.
Hear birds. Hear flowing water.
Smell grass hidden in the air.
And remember it.
Through yellow + blue lens glasses, the viewer’s eyes create the green the mind never forgot.
Green Minded is about collective memory: how nature lives in us even in its absence.
A multi-sensory exhibition.
See. Hear. Smell. Remember.
Rebel Heart

“No sir. This is the west sir. When the legend becomes fact, print the legend”
- From The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance
When considering westerns there is a mythic quality that lurks beneath the recurring themes of the frontier. It resides in the silence between the vast desert canyons; it lives within the hearts of the people that endeavor to straddle the punishing land. In every western film there is a loneliness that is fought for, an individual going against the unbridled capitalism of the big ranchers and railing against the changing of times. The odds are against these souls, their place in this world is fading and becoming lost to the 20th century. The west is life’s struggle writ large that is doomed at the onset.
This exhibition presents a glimpse of this conflict through snapshots of the people that populate the western film, in moments where they feud with the landscape or quietly ponder their place in it. The world they inhabit is long gone and arguably may have never existed, but the spirit of the frontier, of pushing against what is insurmountable, of searching for meaning in an antagonistic earth remains a resonant specter that continues to haunt the 21st century.
What Time Cannot Keep
June 13 - July 25, 2026
I have always been fascinated by human nature—the ways we love, search, lose, hurt one another, and continue despite it all. The paintings in this series emerge from experiences that have touched me deeply, and from the invisible threads that bind us together as human beings.
As an artist, I am drawn to the theatre of human experience. My work often embraces the dramatic and the intimate, exploring the beauty, tension, vulnerability, and contradictions that shape our lives. Within these paintings, personal stories become reflections of something universal.
The works move through shifting emotional landscapes, tracing themes of power, love, loss, and memory. They linger in the moments that remain long after they have passed—the feelings, absences, and traces that time cannot entirely erase. Like water, clouds, and changing light, we are never fixed. We are constantly becoming, carrying fragments of who we once were while moving toward who we are yet to be.
There is sadness within these works, but also tenderness. They speak of longing and resilience, vulnerability and grace, and the quiet wisdom gathered through living. Together, they reflect on what fades, what endures, and the beauty that exists in the spaces between.
What Time Cannot Keep is an exploration of the things that slip beyond our grasp, and the things that remain with us nonetheless.
