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.
Dan Attoe’s paintings evoke a sense of time that spans the past, present, and future, woven together through dreamlike imagery. These narratives often emerge from his unconscious and are further developed through his extensive writing practice. Attoe often blends humor, pop-cultural references, and imagined landscapes to stage a quiet critique of contemporary life. In Planetary Nebula (2025), miniature figures positioned beneath an expansive night sky draw viewers into their quiet contemplation, prompting reflection on the noise and distractions of contemporary life. The work collapses temporal boundaries, offering a meditation on how we remember, consume, and so easily overlook the fleeting beauty of the everyday.
Soo Shin’s work navigates the space between remembrance and becoming, using material and gesture to trace the invisible forces shaping identity and place. In Pas de Deux 3.13.24-8 (Pacific Ocean) (2024), the ocean becomes both medium and collaborator, inscribing movement onto paper as a ritual of memory and connection. Similarly, We, Dandelions #19 (2023) casts a fleeting bloom as a meditation on migration, dispersal, and persistence. For Shin, memory is not fixed but fluid—formed through what we return to, and what we allow to carry us forward.
