🎨 Denise Jones Adler – Collaging the Chaos: Three Bold Exhibitions in 2025
Contemporary artist Denise Jones Adler continues to turn fragmented imagery into spiritual storytelling in a year marked by powerful exhibitions across multiple spaces. From solo to group shows, Adler’s work is making waves in the New York art scene and beyond.
💥 Beautiful Mess II
📍 Pictor Gallery, New York
🗓️ February 25 – March 22, 2025
Building on the success of her 2023 show, "Beautiful Mess II" layers magazine and photographic fragments into surreal portraits and dreamlike landscapes. Adler’s compositions are both chaotic and divine—merging discarded visuals from everyday life into meditations on identity, connection, and spirituality. Through this assembly of visual detritus, she blurs the lines between the real and the ethereal, asking us to find beauty in the overlooked.
🌌 Imaginary Worlds: Invented Spaces and Places
📍 Annmarie Sculpture Garden & Arts Center, Solomons, MD
🗓️ May 9 – September 21, 2025
Now showing in this group exhibition, Adler presents visionary spaces that challenge perceptions of reality. The show invites viewers into surreal dreamscapes and imaginative cityscapes, exploring the power of artist-created worlds. This exhibit emphasizes original artistic visions—worlds invented from scratch rather than adapted from known stories.
