Gallery Episode is pleased to present the group exhibition titled, “Multi-Layered“ an exhibition that prompts the viewer to reconsider the artwork as its own multi-layered individual. When the viewer sees a work of art, whether it be in a museum, a gallery, or even a studio, they only see what is placed in front of them they can only view the work at that particular stage at that particular moment in time. But behind that “top layer” of which is visible, there are layers and layers of material, philosophies, experiences, research, and more. The physical work may not be immediately obvious to the viewer, but the hours of work (whether physically or emotionally) from the artist still exists without a doubt. Then come the questions: What do artists choose to conceal and reveal to the viewer? Is it the artist’s responsibility to reveal what is at the core of their work? How do the various layers work together to create the final piece?

“Multi-Layered” features the following eight artists from the local New Jersey area: Andrea della Cava, Harriet Finck, Jaea Jung, JM Park, Namsook Olivia Kwon, Rachel Pruzan, Susanna Bergtold, and Tina Chow Rudolf.

Multi-Layered will open on Monday, February 12th, 2024, with an opening reception on Saturday, February 17th from 4 to 6pm. The artists will be in attendance and light refreshments will be served. The exhibition will be on view from February 12 to February 29.
