OPENS: October 10 | ROUND 1 DEADLINE: October 31, 2025
Reflection of a Greater Realm
This exhibition invites viewers into a world of enchanted reverie where light and ornament become gateways towards expansive, imaginative experiences. The works in this collection transform the everyday into something luminous and extraordinary, offering passages into intimate, seemingly infinite visions.
Time slows as audiences move through the exhibition. Here, reality is not escaped or denied, but it is deepened. A quiet Romantic sensibility pervades the space, not in grand gestures, but as an undercurrent of yearning and reflection.
Playful, sensuous, and dreamlike, the works are profoundly personal yet mysteriously expansive. Rather than narrating a story, the exhibition offers an experience where each encounter reflects a fleeting glimpse of something larger than oneself. Drawing from the vitality and elegance of Rococo and the radiance and expressiveness of Impressionism, the exhibition revels in the subtle poetry of perception. The exhibition breathes life into light and movement.
Visitors are carried gently through this world, drifting between awe and reflection, discovery and delight, as each piece becomes a moment of wonder and a celebration of whimsy.

About:
Abigail Bruno, Director of Curatorial Affairs, brings a background in Studio Arts and Technology, holding a BA from Purdue University. She has curated exhibitions including A Moment in Which We Want to Linger, Retro Fusion: Nostalgia Reimagined, and In Liminal Light: The Space Between, which explore themes of memory, surrealism, and transformation. Her exhibitions often bridge the conceptual and emotional, inviting audiences into immersive spaces of introspection, visual storytelling, and layered interpretation. As an abstract artist, Abi creates dream-like compositions using oil, acrylic, and mixed media. Inspired by organic forms and natural environments, her work emphasizes color and form as the central elements of her artistic language, rather than as tools for literal representation. Her paintings have been exhibited in several Purdue University galleries, including the Robert L. Ringel Gallery and the Patti & Rusty Rueff Galleries, and continue to evolve with her curatorial research.
