Mirrorball Gallery is thrilled to present a solo exhibition by accomplished artist and master printmaker Phil Garrett, whose dynamic body of work explores the intersection of myth, nature, and the unknown.

Opening Reception: August 15, 2025 |
Exhibition Dates: August 15 – September 14, 2025
The exhibition will run from August 15 through September 14, 2025, with a special opening night reception on Friday, August 15, from 5:00 to 7:00 PM. The artist will be in attendance.

Phil Garrett’s monotypes and paintings reflect a deep, intuitive engagement with the natural world, shaped by elemental forces and spiritual resonance. Speaking about his work, Garrett says:
“My work is informed by nature — a kind of mythical nature. The power of storms, the spiritual quality of the elements, the beauty, grace, and ferocity of plants and animals… something greater than myself, something I can’t comprehend. Painting and making monotypes is my search for the mystery within the subject, within myself.”
Garrett’s expressive use of color, form, and texture captures the ephemeral and the eternal, revealing nature not only as a subject, but as a force — wild, mysterious, and sacred.

Join us at Mirrorball Gallery to experience this evocative and powerful exhibition. Admission is free and open to the public.

Between New York & Italy, Mirrorball is excited to represent and host Photographer & Mixed Media artist Mercedes Jelinek for a gallery talk and reveal of her newest series.

Bio: Her work and publications have been exhibited both nationally and internationally. They are held in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, Guggenheim Museum, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Whitney Museum, Library of Congress, Aperture Foundation, and the Getty Institute.

Mercedes specializes in black and white portraiture, often transforming the photographic image through painting and collage. Her visual narratives are driven by her curiosity regarding the variety of humanity, especially the stories of the lives of her subjects. She often travels worldwide, meeting, immersing, and learning about people's values and traditions. The resulting projects reflect her connections and collaborations with her subjects. Her work aims to engage her audience in a visual dialog about community, identity, and women's equality issues experienced in a post-COVID, "Me Too" altered, and Roe vs. Wade overturned world.

Project Statement "Miscommunicated Secrets" at Mirrorball Gallery

This project began with obsessive tendencies—the need to make new things based on un-photographable feelings. Sometimes words are not enough, and often, an exclamation mark does not possess the weight or dimension to come close to the sharp sense it represents. These pieces are daydreams combined with real-life experiences assembled to depict emotions that cannot be expressed in sentence form alone.
