Lindsey Cowley
“Faces”
January 15 – February 13, 2026
Roland Miller’s solo exhibition “Abandoned in Place” is a photographic exploration of the American space-launch and research facilities that shaped the early era of space exploration. Roland Miller blends documentary, abstract, and hybrid imagery to capture a disappearing chapter of both the space race and the Cold War, revealing the impermanence of our world through the lens of these iconic sites that once captured the attention of the entire world. The facilities depicted trace one of the twentieth century’s most significant technological endeavors—from the first uncrewed flights beyond the atmosphere to the lunar landings. The abandoned structures evoke ancient sites like Pyramids, Chichen Itza, and Stonehenge, suggesting alternate futures, had the nuclear threat posed by the Cold War materialized. Moving beyond official government documentation, Miller preserves these spaces through bold imagery that offers social, historical, and artistic insight.
Lindsey Cowley presents a series of striking, three-dimensional wall sculptures in her new exhibition Faces. Each piece offers a journey of visual discovery, as faces-within-faces emerge from the layered forms. Through these brightly colored portraits, Cowley explores the complexity of human emotion—how multiple, sometimes conflicting feelings can coexist within us at once. While her “Faces” recall mythical beings from long ago, their saturated colors and geometric compositions give them a distinctly modern look. Cowley’s unique style draws on a wide range of influences from artists like Pablo Lobato and Genndy Tartakovsky to broader art movements including Pop, Post-Pop, Pop-Surrealism, comics, cartoons, animation, and street art. Additionally, she incorporates elements from traditional forms like Yūrei-zu (19th-century Japan) and Minhwa (Joseon Dynasty Korea), folding them seamlessly into her own vibrant visual language.
