City of Dreams unites Valeri Larko and John Kuo, two artists examining urban landscapes from distinct yet complementary angles. Larko’s plein-air paintings capture New York’s industrial outskirts, preserving forgotten spaces before they disappear. Kuo’s surreal sculptures explore fleeting city life, weaving memory, migration, and belonging into fragmented forms. Their work engages in a dialogue between permanence and transience, inviting viewers to reflect on the hidden stories within the city.
