Our booth (F16) presents a focused two-painter exhibition, bringing together works that move between the intimate and the expansive, the gestural and the structural. We hope you'll join us.

Get discounted admission to Future Fair— our gift to you this season. (Valid for public days May 14 -16)

On view now through May 30 | Wed - Sat, 1 - 6 PM and by appointment

Harrison Haft's Nuclear Eden envisions an irradiated paradise — an after-state in which inherited beliefs collapse and recombine rather than vanish. Built from staged and manipulated photographic references and translated into oil through the vernacular of the old masters, the paintings bring corrupted figures into proximity with animal hybrids: a peacock's tail of unblinking eyes, a nine-tailed fox haloed by candle flame, a white fawn at rest among heavy blooms. In dialogue with the corporeal intensity of Francis Bacon, the philosophical transgression of Georges Bataille, and the ecological delirium of Hieronymus Bosch, Haft renders contemporary, psychologically charged subjects through historically weighted painterly vocabularies. The anachronism is corrective rather than nostalgic — an insistence on presence, on becoming over resolution. The work does not offer meaning; it provokes it.
