Crossing Lines

New York Gallery

June 2 — August 28, 2025

Galerie 54

This exhibition explores innovation through tradition, where the material pushes technical and creative boundaries. By bending the loom’s linear structure and expanding sculpture’s tactile language, the artists invite a slow and intimate appreciation for the human hand at work.
