Join us in our Greenpoint studio on Wednesday, November 13th at 7 pm for the opening night reception of Parallel Play! This multimedia pop-up show will showcase a range of works by longtime friends Grace Mitzen and Tyler Gundrum. Though distinct in their practices, both artists share a complementary approach to creativity–rooted in the uninhibited freedom and playfulness of childhood. Parallel Play celebrates the playful spirit that emerges as friends bring their unique expressions together in a shared creative experience.
Tyler Gundrum presents a range of ceramic work from the past three years, exploring texture, form, and function through both functional and sculptural pieces. Grace Mitzen debuts a focused series where she augments printed photographs with delicate watercolor, creating dreamlike mixed-media works that blur the line between “reality” and the mystical. Together, they push themselves in their respective mediums, inviting the audience into a space where experimentation and joy take center stage.
No RSVP necessary & free entry! Viewing hours November 14 - 16 from 12 - 5pm daily.
About the Artists
Grace Mitzen is a Brooklyn-based multimedia artist working with analog photography, illustration, painting, and creative writing. Her organic and intuitive approach to her work is rooted in her practice of self-discovery and spirituality. To her, every creation comes from a place of play; letting go of what a piece “should” be, and returning to a child-like curiosity of its infinite possibilities.
Since moving to the Hudson Valley in 2021, Tyler Gundrum’s approach to ceramics has undergone a subtle, yet impactful transformation. Departing from the strictly utilitarian focus of his undergrad years, his works have leaned towards sculpture. Central to his narrative is the exploration of the passage of time and the inevitable change it brings. Each of his works reflects the nuances of aging and the relentless march of nature's cycles, inviting viewers to ponder the beauty found in the transient moments of existence and entropy.
