Curated by Paul Laster

Opening Reception
Thursday, June 27, 2024
6 - 8 pm
Berry Campbell is pleased to present “The Imaginary Made Real,” curated by Paul Laster. Featuring 31 international contemporary artists, the exhibition celebrates Surrealism’s centennial anniversary with artworks that approach the dreamlike movement through fresh eyes.
The exhibition loosely explores ways of thinking and working that are figuratively and abstractly related to the surreal while embracing visionary, spiritual, and psychological viewpoints.
The exhibition features work in a variety of sizes and media, including paintings, sculptures, drawings, photography, ceramics, mosaics, assemblages, and bronzes. On view in the gallery’s two front spaces, The Imaginary Made Real can be seen from the street day or night, making it visible during diverse moments of reverie.
Exhibited artworks include visionary paintings by Italian self-taught artists Vera Girivi and Elisabetta Zangrandi, as well as David Onri Anderson and Sarah Lee; dreamlike scenarios by Leyla Runzi Cui, Charles Hascoët, Valerie Hegarty, Nir Hod, Katinka Huang, Oda Jaune, Nianxin Li, Rosa Loy, Donna Moylan, GaHee Park, Erik Parker; collage-like compositions by David Alekhuogie, Alex Anderson, Hoda Kashiha, Yasue Maetake, Tony Matelli , Melissa Rios, and Rhonda Wall; distorted figures by David Baskin, Saint Clair Cemin, Amie Dicke, Thomas Lerooy, Larissa De Jesús Negrón, Bony Ramirez; and the abstract realms of Yevgeniya Baras, Luiza Gottschalk, and Karla Knight.
