Beyond the Wall Exhibit
2025-10-26 00:00 - 2025-12-03 00:00 | Janice Charach Gallery 6600 W Maple Rd,, West Maple Road 6600, Michigan, 48322, United States
“BEYOND THE WALL”
Exhibit at Janice Charach Gallery
October 26 – December 3, 2025
Opening Reception: Sunday, October 26, 1-4 p.m.
Artist Talk: Sunday, November 23, 1 p.m.
Step into a world where boundaries dissolve and space becomes canvas. Beyond
the Wall is a captivating art exhibit showcasing the work of contemporary
sculptors who challenge the conventions of dimensionality. Featuring a curated
blend of wall-mounted pieces and free-standing sculptures, this collection
explores the interplay between surface and structure, intimacy and
monumentality.
Each artist brings a unique approach to material, form, and spatial
presence—whether affixed to the wall or commanding the floor. From subtle
reliefs that blur the line between painting and sculpture, to bold, immersive
forms that invite movement and reflection, these works engage viewers in a
tactile and visual conversation.
This exhibit invites you to experience sculpture not as static object, but as
active participant—transforming the walls, occupying the air, and reshaping
how we perceive space itself.
Featured Artists:
Terrence Campagna
Doug Cannell
Amelia Currier
Robert Mirek
John Rizzo
