North Carolina based artist Brian Mashburn returns for his fourth solo show entitled “Quiet Ecologies” at the gallery.

Mashburn’s influences range from everyday observations to his Asian-American heritage. He cites his childhood experience of going to Chinese language school on weekends as the origin for his interest in the painted line as well as his strong work ethic. Moreover, the heavy mists of Appalachia and smog of southeastern China and Hong Kong inform his foggy aesthetic.
