Dreamers brings together three artists—Dingyue Fan, Eleonora Rinaldi, and Cary Hulbert—whose practices examine the porous boundary between perception and the unconscious. Traversing a spectrum of figuration and abstraction, the works engage with the mutable logic of the dream state, where chronology fractures, meaning drifts, and the familiar becomes estranged.

​

Dingyue Fan’s semi-abstract compositions are rooted in personal memory and inherited mythologies, drawing from formative encounters with grotto sculptures and murals in China’s southwest. Her layered surfaces—inhabited by fragmented forms, imagined fauna, and liminal landscapes—evoke the nonlinear unfolding of memory and the emotional topography of the subconscious.

​

Eleonora Rinaldi’s paintings emerge from a practice of visual excavation. Mining personal recollection alongside literary and art historical references, she constructs chromatic environments suspended between interiority and narrative. Her use of depth, atmosphere, and symbolic form gives rise to temporal dislocations—spaces that resist resolution and invite associative readings.

​

Cary Hulbert’s paintings render fantastical ecologies where flora and fauna merge in states of flux. Working on transparent mylar and panel, she employs translucent layers of acrylic to construct immersive, otherworldly terrains. Recurrent animal figures—moths, snakes, dogs—function as symbolic thresholds between the domestic and the feral, the grounded and the surreal. Her works suggest a realm governed not by logic but by intuition and transformation.

​

Dreamers foregrounds a shared impulse to destabilize perception. Through disparate yet overlapping vocabularies, the artists construct speculative spaces where waking life dissolves into reverie and material and immaterial realities begin to blur.
