Inspired by the hungry spirit Bukowski describes in “Beasts Abound in Time”, Beasts Abound is a distinct moment in space and time. A moment in 2025 in which it’s particularly exciting to be a figurative artist. Here in Memphis, the air is thick with promise and potential.

This exhibition centers around 9 artists, each at different instance in their career. Each person approaches the figure and ideas associated differently but are united by a semi-abstracted approach to the figure. The work is viewed through multiple lenses including but not limited to queer-theory, cubist ideas, religious motifs, pop-culture references and medieval structures. These constructs are explored through multiple different kinds of paint application and illustrations.
