Andrew Reed Gallery and PATRON are pleased to present Intersections, a group exhibition in two parts. Embracing the role of the exhibition as a form of hospitality, hosting, and exchange, the project is structured as two consecutive visual conversations between artists from both gallery’s programs. The first installment will feature works by Soo Shin and Dan Attoe, followed by a second presentation pairing Nour Malas and Merik Goma. The exhibition becomes a conversation between two galleries—each with its own path, coming together to exchange ideas, perspectives, and possibilities.
 

Intersections II

​

Nour Malas engages memory not as static recollection but as a mutable terrain—felt, fragmented, and reassembled through form. Through layered gestures and intuitive use of color and form, Malas creates works that move between figuration and dissolution, capturing the quiet rhythms of daily life while preserving what is at risk of fading. Drawing on art historical references ranging from 16th-century religious iconography to 19th- and 20th-century modernist painting, Cosmic Glory (2025) stages a moment of collapse—where mythology, spirituality, vulgarity, and the everyday converge in a swirling meditation on belief, perception, and meaning.

Merik Goma’s photographs hold memory at a threshold—hovering between the lived and the imagined, presence and absence. Through carefully constructed sets and evocative lighting, he builds interior worlds where emotion unfolds with quiet intensity. In Dust to Dust (2020), a floor scattered with broken glass and debris evokes the aftermath of an unnamed event, its stillness made radiant through Caravaggian light. The work transforms remnants into reverence, offering a space where grief, beauty, and reflection quietly converge.
