Order and Chaos

Juried Gallery

July 31 - August 29, 2026

Deadline to Submit: July 6, 2026 at Midnight

Order and Chaos explores the tension between structure and spontaneity within abstract art. In abstraction, order may appear as symmetry, logic, or restraint, while chaos erupts as intuition, fragmentation, and unpredictability. Yet neither state exists alone. This exhibition invites viewers to consider how balance is negotiated and how beauty can arise from instability. 

Juror: Ethan Meyer 

Ethan Meyer (born 1990) is a painter and mixed media/fiber sculptor.  He graduated with his BA in Studio Art from Webster University, St. Louis in 2013.  He has worked for Duane Reed Gallery since 2015; and has been in the role of Gallery Director since 2020.  His work, both in painting and sculpture, involves networks of intricately connected, overlapping, and morphing shapes and patterns, reflecting the complex and ever-changing nature of one’s own consciousness.  Meyer’s work may be found in collections across the US as well as Canada, England, Germany, and New Zealand.
