Thresholds of Perception brings together four contemporary artists whose practices engage moments of transition, instability, and quiet tension. Featuring works by Noel De Lesseps, Brianna Lance, Oliver Clegg, Dennis Miranda, Organized by Gaia Matisse.
The exhibition examines how perception is shaped through spaces and forms that resist resolution. Across painting and sculpture, the works do not describe fixed places or linear narratives. Instead, they construct environments that hover between interior and exterior, memory and presence, figuration and abstraction. De Lesseps’ atmospheric landscapes establish a sense of temporal suspension, evoking spaces that feel remembered rather than observed. Lance introduces symbolic and intuitive imagery, where figures and signs function as emotional markers rather than narrative agents. Clegg’s destabilized interiors collapse the boundary between shelter and exposure, allowing water and light to overtake domestic space. Miranda’s materially charged paintings ground the exhibition through density and layered surfaces that suggest processes of accumulation, erosion, and regeneration.
Together, the works propose perception as an active, negotiated experience rather than a fixed state. Meaning arises not through clarity or conclusion, but through attention to thresholds-those moments where structures hold just long enough to reveal their vulnerability. The exhibition invites viewers to remain within these spaces of uncertainty, where sensation, material, and memory intersect.
