Kutlesa is thrilled to announce 'Afterimage,' the inaugural solo exhibition by Zoe McGuire . Opening on September 4, 2025, at our new gallery space located at 537b West 23rd Street, New York.
'Afterimage' is a captivating exploration of the intricate relationship between human perception, the natural world, and the cosmos. Through a series of visually arresting and intellectually provocative works, Zoe McGuire invites viewers to contemplate the limits of human perception and the profound connections that bind us to the universe.
McGuire's artistry emerges from a rich tapestry of research, blending scientific discovery with natural wonder. Drawing from NASA's cosmic archives and her own meticulous field sketches from the New York Botanical Garden and the Five Rivers Environmental Education Center, McGuire creates works that transcend traditional artistic boundaries. Her works, like 'Red Door' and 'Overlook,' are vivid collages of memory and imagination, inspired by her frequent visits to nature centers. By merging these recollections with ethereal dreamscapes, McGuire crafts a unique visual language that challenges viewers to question the nature of perception and the fluid boundary between reality and remembrance.
