“Anthony Padilla’s richly colored paintings of lush rainforests, flora, tropical fruit, animals, and abstract curvilinear forms illustrate the beauty and elegance of the natural environment.
Characterized by deep blues, verdant greens, and dazzling reds, Padilla’s paintings are inspired by artists such as Georgia O’Keeffe and Henri Rousseau, and pay special attention to color and form. His depictions of full leaves and blooming flowers, such as Casting Shade (2020), resemble the billowing fabric of a skirt or dress and evoke a sense of movement. Some of his paintings, such as Falling Fruit (2020), portray objects in impossible and surreal situations, emphasizing the complexity and mystery of the natural world.
In addition to his paintings, Padilla has completed murals in New York City and Fort Worth, Texas.”

Just Do It / oil on canvas / 35x27cm.
This work focuses on motherhood through one of its most immediate and unfiltered realities: the body as a site of care. The composition isolates a seemingly simple moment—a stain on a shirt—transforming it into a symbol of lactation and, with it, the quiet, persistent presence of motherhood in everyday life.
Just Do It is recontextualized here as a phrase that moves away from performance and ambition, and toward endurance and instinct. In this context, action is not driven by goals, but by necessity. The maternal body does not wait, plan, or negotiate—it responds. Again and again, without pause.
How can something so small carry so much weight? The stain, often overlooked or even concealed, becomes central—an unspoken mark of effort, repetition, and care.
The work reflects on those “minor” daily acts that rarely enter representation, yet define the experience of motherhood. There is no spectacle, no heroic gesture—only persistence. A continuous doing.
In this sense, Just Do It shifts into a message of recognition. Not as a slogan, but as an acknowledgment. A direct, almost silent encouragement that holds space for everything that remains unseen: the exhaustion, the routine, the unconditional presence.

ALLGORITHIM is pleased to announce Layered, with an opening reception on Friday, May 8th from 6 to 9 pm at ALLGORITHIM House.
Layered brings together seventeen artists whose practices share a common formal and philosophical proposition: that meaning accumulates. The exhibition takes as its premise the act of layering itself, not as technique alone, but as a way of thinking. Of ideology built upon ideology. Of identity formed through the sediment of experience. Of color and mark arriving on a surface already weighted with intention, already in conversation with everything that came before it.
To layer is to refuse resolution. It is to hold contradiction, to allow the underpainting to show through, to let one idea interrupt another without demanding that either surrender. The works in this exhibition operate in that space of productive tension: between the legible and the obscured, the conscious and the subconscious, the personal and the universal. What is revealed is never the whole picture. What is concealed is never entirely gone.
Works by Thomas Stokes III, Vincent Lantzy, Connor Meager, Zoë Renait, Jess Kellner, Samuel Elliot Phillips, Piper Olivas, and Katarina Holbrough are presented alongside newcomers Dylan Anthony Roworth, Sarah Savior, Gaëthan Henrioux, Adam Brierley, Ricardo Rodriguez, Deb Santangelo, Brad Johns, Fiona Aagaard and Preston Douglas Boyer.
Across painting and mixed media, Layered resists singular reading. Each work arrives carrying its own history of marks, revisions, and intentions. Together, they form something less like a group exhibition and more like a conversation that has been ongoing, one the viewer steps into mid-sentence.
Layered opens Friday, May 8th at ALLGORITHIM House. More announcements to come.
