KALEID Gallery is proud to present:

“A Beautiful Fugate by Troublesome Creek”
Jemal Diamond solo exhibition

Artist’s reception: Friday, May 2nd 5pm–9pm
Free entry; part of the First Fridays ArtWalk SJ

“A Beautiful Fugate by Troublesome Creek” is the latest collection of paintings by Jemal Diamond, showcasing the interplay between his abstracted, segmented figures and landscapes that blend the organic with the technological. The figures exist in a state of tension – at once passive and reactive – amidst shifting natural and constructed environments. Drawing from the Spanish word “fugate,” meaning “to flee” or “escape,” the collection explores themes of movement, displacement, and the fragile balance between humanity and the worlds we navigate.

As always with Jemal’s work, there are layers of contrasting and complementary shapes and lines. They are both mechanical and organic, masculine and feminine, abstract and representational. There lies embedded intentional dichotomies to create a playground of visual cues and possible meaning. All titles for works in this collection are given by viewers like you, including “A Beautiful Fugate by Troublesome Creek” – title by Gail Rastorfer.

Solo Exhibition Dates: May 2–30, 2025

Gallery hours: Thursdays – *Fridays 12pm–7pm, Saturdays 12pm–5pm, & *First Fridays 5pm–9pm.
Free admission.
