(JERSEY CITY, NJ) -- Novado Gallery presents "Converging Realities" from November 15 to January 18, 2024. This innovative new exhibition unites the visions of three unique artists, each interpreting the environment through different artistic lenses. It is an exploration of how photography, abstract painting, and constructive surrealism converge to understanding our familiar environment. Through collaboration, these artists transform their individual perspectives into a triptych that invites viewers to explore new dimensions within the ordinary and extraordinary elements of life.

Join them for the opening reception on Friday, November 15, 2024 from from 7:00pm to 9:00pm, to experience “Converging Realities” and witness how urban, abstract, and constructed surreal forms come together to reshape the boundaries of art and reality.

In this exhibition, Steve Pearlman presents his striking photography that captures architectural textures and fleeting moments, providing the viewer his vision of both recognizable and hidden realities.  Pearlman finds visual relationships between the unrelated, often at the intersection of historic and contemporary times.

Anne Novado explores related and contrasting abstract forms.  The work reflects the artist's continued interest in energy created by texture and rhythm of expressive colors and shapes. Her process includes dissecting an earlier painting to collage into her New Gestalt series. This approach to abstraction reveals a different layer of understanding, emphasizing the essence beneath the structures.

Eleazar Sanchez brings these perspectives together through constructivist artworks that incorporate both photographic and abstract elements into sculptural pieces. These works, created in collaboration with Steve Pearlman and Anne Novado, build a bridge between distinct genres, offering viewers a surreal perspective where reality and imagination intersect.

The result is “Converging Realities” an exhibition that invites us to re-examine how we see life, blending structural familiarity with conceptual depth. This collaborative journey across disciplines shows that reality is not a singular experience but a complex layered construction. The exhibition invites you to step into a space where different perspectives fuse into one, illustrating how diverse “elements” work in harmony to shape our collective perception.
