Opening Reception for Alex Eckman-Lawn Solo Exhibition at Paradigm Gallery

Paradigm Gallery is pleased to present BODY, a solo exhibition featuring the work of collage artist Alex Eckman-Lawn. Known for his imaginative paper assemblages, Eckman-Lawn spent over a decade cultivating a distinct visual vocabulary within his studio and commercial projects In BODY, Eckman-Lawn showcases his illustration and storytelling skills in a cohesive narrative inspired by events from his childhood. Both mentally and physically, the artist faced an apocalypse that has fueled his creative process and inspired the motifs that enkindle his layered collages. Although his penchant for anatomy, architecture, and classical sculpture has always existed in the work, this exhibition will be the first instance that Eckman-Lawn opens up about his images’s emotional weight and the catharsis he has found creating them.

BODY will be on view on the second floor of the Paradigm Arts Building (12 N 3rd St, Philadelphia, PA 19106) starting February 7 until March 2, 2025, with a public reception on Friday, February 7th from 6:00PM–8:00PM.
