Where Stripes Meet Ceramics and Pools Reflect Identity: Summer’s Small Gallery Surprises
A private Art Nouveau home outside Brussels transforms into a living gallery, where Spazio Nobile’s summer exhibition scatters sculptures across gardens and fills rooms with ceramics, marble, and photography—inviting visitors to imagine art as part of daily life. In Los Angeles, Abbey Golden’s paintings at LAUREN POWELL PROJECTS submerge viewers in watery scenes, using pools and oceans as metaphors for the shifting boundaries of identity and belonging. Meanwhile, Palma de Mallorca’s La Bibi Gallery playfully challenges the old refrain that modern art looks childlike, spotlighting artists who embrace the raw, energetic style of youthful creativity. In Tokyo, the “Between” show explores the invisible lines separating the mystical from the mundane and pop culture from personal experience, with works that riff on social media icons and everyday unease. Madrid’s La Causa Gallery, finally, turns summer stripes into a visual playground, where bands of color and sunlit scenes evoke the season’s carefree spirit.
Small galleries this July prove that big ideas thrive in unexpected spaces—sometimes all it takes is a garden, a pool, or a single stripe to shift perspective.
