Pen + Brush presents "The Now: Materiality," their fifth NOW exhibition featuring three artists—Anindita Dutta, Iliana Emilia Garcia, and Alida Wilkinson—who transform basic materials into profound expressions. Dutta performs with clay installations that embrace ephemerality and transformation. Garcia employs chairs as emotional anchors representing stability and ancestry. Wilkinson uses translucent materials to capture human complexity through layered figures. Together, they demonstrate how materials function not as passive tools but active collaborators, turning ordinary elements into languages that speak to memory, presence, and transformation.
