Dear Friends,
Itâs been almost 10 years since the birth of Dinner Gallery and after much reflection, I have decided to put the gallery on pause. Running a small gallery comes with countless joys, but also many challenges and despite my best efforts, changing circumstances have made it difficult to continue mounting ambitious exhibitions, a core value of the gallery. Sometimes in life, one has to stop and reflect in order to take the necessary steps forward.
The relationships Iâve built over the years are the most rewarding part of this continuing journey and Iâm excited to see us grow and evolve together. Your support has fueled and nourished me and I couldnât have done it without each and every one of you. While this is not goodbye, I wanted to take this moment to share my appreciation and gratitude and I hope youâll stay tuned for the next chapter.
Lior Modanâs solo exhibition âThe Foundationsâ will be on view through April 26th which will be our final day.
Much love,
Celine Mo

Today is the final day to catch âThe Foundationsâ by Lior Modan! Weâre open until 6pm so come on by â¨
âMemories of daily life meet the intangible in Modanâs work. The artist invites us to contemplate the integrity of memoryâwhen one attempts to understand the ephemeral through adhering to the structures of reason, how real are the resulting narratives we construct? All the worldâs a stage, and between the objects cast and the veil cast upon them, the distinction between fact and fiction is blurred behind the dreamy velvet curtain.â - words by Katya Borkov in Impulse Magazine

Behind the scenes: Carving foam, wood and other materials, Lior Modan creates complex low-relief sculptures before vacuum sealing them with velvet.
âIn all its obscurity, The Foundations is about the hidden-in-plain-sight symbiosis of presence and absence, whereby visible facades haunt the viewer with whatâs concealed. Itâs like trying to see an oil painting from the backside of the canvas, or looking through a peephole from the outside in.â - words by Jenny Wang

For Lior Modan, materiality dictates form and has a way of concealing as much as revealing. He carefully builds his surfaces using utilitarian materials such as wood, foam, plaster and sand before vacuum sealing them with velvet. The scintillation and fluidity of velvet provides continually shifting and holographic fluctuations that test our perception. In addition, observations of ethereal events such as smoke, light and wind, are palpable within his scenes.

âExpanding upon his investigation into the instability of images, Modanâs new series of low relief velvet paintings focus on intangible moments and feelings. His works vibrate between real and imagined, consisting of fictional spaces, borrowed imagery and snapshots of daily life.â -excerpt from press release
