For its summer invitational, MOSAIC, City Gallery welcomes Yale School of Architecture graduates Uzayr Agha, Ariel Bintang, and Ethnie Xu, with a special mobile appearance by NXTHVN and cARTie. The show runs August 2 - August 25, with an Opening Reception on Saturday, August 10 from 1 p.m. – 4 p.m.
The summer invitational is always an exciting exhibit at City Gallery, welcoming diverse multigenerational artists from the varied cultures and ethnicities that comprise the greater New Haven community. MOSAIC came about as after creative conversations between artist and architect Ethnie Xu, Gallery members Roberta Friedman and Sue Rollins, and NXTHVN’s Student Program Manager Jay Kemp. The result is an exhibit that features a range of painting, mixed media, collage, and ink and print work.
In addition, as part of the exhibit’s Opening Reception on August 10, NXTHVN & cARTie will present The Legacy. This mobile exhibition, centered around the theme of “legacy,” includes artistic contributions from NXTHVN’s 2023-2024 apprentices, as well as residents of the Hanna Gray home that highlight the concept of generational legacy.
ABOUT THE ARTISTS:
Uzayr Agha (born 1995) is an architectural designer and painter from Karachi, Pakistan. He holds a Master’s degree in Architecture from the Yale School of Architecture and has previously studied at Georgetown University and Bennington College. Agha integrates architectural conventions with painting to challenge traditional methods of architectural representation. Primarily through painting and mixed media, he experiments with various surfaces such as canvas, wood, and textiles, merging architectural elements with painterly techniques, creating analogies that reflect the fluidity of memory and identity.
Ariel Bintang (born 1999) is an architectural designer from Jakarta, Indonesia. He holds a Master's degree in Architecture from the Yale School of Architecture and has previously studied at Melbourne University. To synthesize the two fields, Ariel utilizes the language of painting to generate a dialogue with a building and vice versa. His work 18 colours is a series of small painting exercises created as a way to study methods of occupying abstract colours.
Ethnie Xu (born 1997) is a Chinese New Zealander artist and architect living between New Haven and New York. With a MArch and MBA from Yale, she creates ink and print works that explore the connections between cities and their inhabitants, capturing the dynamic essence of urban life as seen in her works 0.2 Miles Apart and Telephone Booth.
MOSAIC offers an opportunity to see the work of these three distinct artists and to learn more about their approaches to and practice of art. The exhibit is free and open to the public. It runs August 2 - August 25, with an Opening Reception on Saturday, August 10 from 1 p.m. – 4 p.m.
