Layers of Expression: Paintings & Prints unites the work of Mia Brownell, Martin Kruck, and Ryan McGrory in a dynamic exploration of perception, emotion, and reality.

In Skeptical Realism, Brownell’s intricate still life paintings and Kruck’s surreal landscapes question the line between the artificial and the real, reflecting today’s cultural and political uncertainties. Brownell examines the entanglement of consumerism and biology, while Kruck reimagines landscapes as altered, ambiguous spaces.

Ryan McGrory’s Abstract Romanticism captures the emotional turbulence of human experience through dramatic, gestural paintings. Drawing from Romanticism, Abstract Expressionism, and Baroque techniques, McGrory’s work invites viewers to confront the beauty and tension of opposing emotions.

Together, these artists offer a multilayered exploration of how we perceive and process the worlds within and around us—blurring the lines between the rational and the fantastical, the seen and the felt.
