The Oceanic Source

THE OCEANIC SOURCE

ONLINE GROUP EXHIBITION

6TH – 27TH JUNE 2025

WOW x WOW Gallery proudly presents The Oceanic Source.

The currents of artistic inspiration and the creative process run deep like those of a vast, ever-shifting ocean; expansive and elusive, emerging from a space of mystery, unpredictability, and discovery. Beneath the surface lies a submerged world of thought, memory, emotion, and instinct, rising to view through the act of making. Many artists approach their practice as a kind of navigation: through tides of uncertainty, into moments of clarity, and across the unknowable depths where the imagination stirs.

Small Works 2022

I’m thrilled to be a part of this year’s Beinart Gallery Small Works exhibition and will be including: Quelling of the Swarm

l

Quelling of the Swarm by Sonya Palencia, 8x10” oil on wood panel

Small Works 2022 is Beinart Gallery’s 7th annual group show featuring small-scale works from a variety of artists.

Opening reception: Saturday, June 18th, 6 - 9pm

This exhibition will run from June 19th to July 10th.

This show is one of the Gallery’s most anticipated: it allows the Gallery to bring to you works from as many artists as possible in a single show, since each piece is under 12” by 12”, and it’s a chance for artists to create art at a scale they might not otherwise use. It’s also a ripe opportunity to grab an affordable piece to add to your own collection.
