Underground Styles | May 2024

Multidisciplinary artist Ryan Patrick Martin creates playful, narrative-driven works that freeze moments of movement in a “weird wiggly world” of balls, color, and humor. His paintings and sculptures balance cartoon-like whimsy with reflections on anxiety, instability, and the search for peace in life’s everyday wobble.

Seen Unseen | May 2025

Hudson Valley painter Wayne Toepp explores the mystical and poetic potential of abstraction, layering oil paint and translucent glazes to create luminous, otherworldly spaces.
