A Hug From The Art World presents Lover’s Eye, Rachel Stern’s first exhibition with the gallery. Inspired by 18th-century miniature portraiture, the works focus on isolated eyes, intensifying expressions of longing and emotion. Stern employs painting, sculpture, and photography to explore how photography redefined artistic traditions. Referencing Ingres and Claude Cahun, the exhibition reimagines the Lover’s Eye, emphasizing photography’s role in capturing and reflecting desire.
