In July 2024, I curated and hosted Afterglow at Doublé in Bushwick, an exhibition featuring abstract and imaginative oil paintings by three emerging artists. The works explored themes of transformation, memory, and emotional intensity through vibrant color palettes and fluid, layered forms. While rooted in abstraction, each piece invited viewers to enter a distinct interior world—spaces where the boundaries between reality and imagination dissolved. The exhibition fostered an intimate viewing experience, encouraging slow looking and personal interpretation, and was complemented by an opening weekend of live performances that extended the show’s atmosphere beyond the canvas.
