Dreams
- - Manix Abrera
- November 15 - 30, 2023 •
- In Dreams, the latest solo show by illustrator, author, and visual artist Manix Abrera, a lingering strangeness glistens inside these scenes, full of topsy-turvy imagery and spirited characters. Abrera crafts a world moving with a dream-like eccentricity, bristling with moments of change and transience. Ghosts hang around an astral graveyard. A door leads to a mountaintop. A lonesome character watches a blood moon and a devilish pair of wings. Here, just as in Abrera’s own practice, the fantastic is met with a care and awareness for the human condition. Equal parts touching and trembling, Dreams is doused in an electric and freakish vigor, rendered with a touch of humor and absurdity.

Crossover
- - Mr. S
  - GNCH
  - Reen Barrera
  - SAIS
- November 15 - 30, 2023 •
- “Crossover” brings together the country’s leading pop-surrealists in contrasts and conversations. The crossover of Mr. S, Reen Barrera, SAIS, and GNCH take place in four different spaces—four different settings—each offering a different immersive experience where ideas are allowed to meet and expand the universes crafted by each of the artists. From Mr. S’ dreamscapes and SAIS’ starry- and wide-eyed portraits to the playful reimaginations and ruminations of childhood and adulthood of GNCH and Reen Barrera, onlookers are invited into curious realms and narratives. Storylines twist and converge while new ones emerge in a gallery-to-gallery, practice-to-practice exploration of world-building, character dynamics, and wondrous interiorities.

Weaving Light With Glass
- - Gabby Prado
- October 26 - November 9, 2023 •
- To weave light with glass is to hold an invisible mirror and examine thoroughly all that it reflects—ourselves at the center and the rest that emerges from the peripheries. In Gabby Prado’s exhibition, narratives are drawn from the artist’s ruminations built on her relationships. The exhibition looks into sentiments embedded within the self and, by extension, to others.
  
  Prado’s approach to abstraction has always been linked to her desire to express her inner being as she continuously attempts to navigate the world more independently. This yearning is seen through her new works as transparency dominates the layers and layers of colors that represent aspects of herself and her ties with people. Fragments of shape and form merge as gestures and movements overlap in some areas of the composition and struggle to be at the forefront.

Balance: A Year In Reflection
- - Liew Mei Toong
- October 26 - November 9, 2023 •
- For Liew Mei Toong, 2023 has been a balancing act. As the Malaysian visual artist returns to Galerie Stephanie, “Balance: A Year in Reflection” returns inwards as it revisits the past year.
  
  This much is revealed in her artistic expressions, which we find now articulated with greater degrees of symmetry and contrast. For Mei Toong, repetition provides a form of art therapy, offering an outlet for her uninhibited subconscious, free of overthinking. And with each brushstroke and crayon mark, she pours out total abandon, just as she has and continues to let both painful and beautiful memories course through her and shape her.
