Gonzalo Fuenmayor: A Certain Slant of Light | May 7 - 30, 2026

Dolby Chadwick Gallery presents "A Certain Slant of Light", an exhibition of new work by Gonzalo Fuenmayor.

For over two decades, the Colombian-born, Miami-based artist has refined a distinct visual vocabulary that probes, unsettles, and complicates questions of cultural identity. The resulting maximalist compositions trace the contours of domination and desire, examining the mechanisms by which cultures are framed, consumed, and recast through the lingering optics of colonial imagination.

His new body of work explores these tensions from a shifted vantage, inverted and turned on their head, to find where imposed narratives fray and the performance of power falters. In his charcoal drawings, Fuenmayor uses light as both revelation and distortion, allowing illumination to pool in unexpected places, where glamour slips into excess and spectacle teeters on collapse. What emerges is a heightened sensitivity to the unseen forces shaping perception, where illumination becomes less a source of truth than a condition that unsettles it. These drawings hold us within that condition, implicating them in the act of looking itself: the desire to consume, to categorize, to exoticize.

Guy Diehl: The Quiet Eye | June 4 - July 3, 2026

Dolby Chadwick Gallery presents 'The Quiet Eye,' an exhibition of recent paintings by Guy Diehl.

The quiet eye, as Diehl practices it, is an eye without hierarchy. In his hands, a baguette half-wrapped in paper, tangerines sealed in cellophane, a take-out container and its plastic fork receive the same luminous, unhurried attention as a postcard reproduction of a Giorgione, a fragment of Georgia O’Keefe’s floral abstractions, or the concentric rings of a Robert Delaunay. For Diehl, looking is itself a form of reverence—and that reverence need not discriminate.

Diehl has long engaged in “conversations” with artists across history. In this exhibition, Cotán, Giorgione, Malevich, Delaunay, O’Keefe, Morandi, and Schiele will appear in the room as interlocutors, their images folded into arrangements of bottles, glass marbles, and wrapped parcels. He chooses to render them under the honesty of daylight where the eye can be taught the patience of looking. Diehl’s light—the true subject—accords equal dignity to everything it touches. At its core, a Diehl painting is an exercise in restraint.
