Keith Warren Greiman, Eric Kenney, and Max Seckel at Paradigm Gallery
Paradigm Gallery + Studio is pleased to present No Garden, an exhibition of illustrative paintings featuring the work of Keith Warren Greiman, Eric Kenney, and Max Seckel. As artists known for creating spontaneous environments marrying commotion and color, Greiman, Kenney, and Seckel come together to ask the question, "What is a garden?" Turning away from the manicured or disciplined, these artists explore cultivation as a lived-in environment, enhanced by the frenzy of humans and their wares. No Garden is a self-fulfilling prophecy of giving a dismal landscape a decorative title and accidentally manifesting the beauty that comes with the name. Among the lush landscapes, you can find abandoned tires, skeletons, and elements of chaos that add to the overall harmony of the land. It is the act of walking by a patch of dirt and seeing potential, similar to how these artists approach paper, panel, or canvas and envision the characters that live inside it. Greiman, Kenney, and Seckel lean into the themes of reinvention as they explore new mediums and subjects in their work for the exhibition, excited to see what grows. This is not a garden, and everything is a garden.
"No Garden" will be on view on the second floor of the Paradigm Arts Building (12 N 3rd St, Philadelphia, PA 19106) starting December 5th until December 28, 2025, with a public opening reception on Friday, December 5th from 6PM–8PM.
