Detour
April 11, 2026 - May 8, 2026
Opening: Saturday 11th of April 2026 4PM - 6PM
Detour considers movement as a condition of contemporary life—unfixed, accelerated, and full of interruption. The works in the exhibition draw on the visual intensity of passing through, where language, light, structure, and surface remain in flux. What emerges is a sense of momentum that feels urban, cinematic, and sharply composed.
Across the exhibition, movement appears less as a direct route than as a sequence of shifts in perception. Fragments of signage, industrial finishes, speeding light, and engineered form are reworked into images and objects that translate movement into visual form without settling into a single destination. Together, the artists explore how motion becomes rhythm, where detours become part of the experience and redirection opens onto new ways of seeing.
Ross Tamlin reworks the visual language of landscape through the industrial vernacular of corrugated iron, signage, and familiar place names. Built through layers of paint and varnish, his compositions transform surface into illusion, merging photoreal detail with a graphic structure shaped by color, text, and urban reference. In Detour, Tamlin’s work suggests movement through recognition and displacement, where location appears not as a fixed destination, but as something encountered in fragments while passing through.
Scott Froschauer draws from the visual language of street signage, transforming familiar urban forms through a practice of subversion and reinterpretation. Influenced by his background in theoretical linguistics and his interest in “culture jamming,” Froschauer replaces directive or cautionary messages with language that feels open, connective, and unexpectedly reflective. Within Detour, his work introduces a moment of pause into the flow of movement, where signs that typically regulate motion begin to redirect perception instead.
Pete Kasprzak draws from the visual intensity of urban culture, using photography as a foundation for mixed media cityscapes charged with movement, texture, and light. Through layered applications of oil and acrylic paint, he transforms the city into something both observed and reimagined, where passing views become energetic compositions. In Detour, Kasprzak’s work captures the momentum of moving through Los Angeles, reflecting the city’s streets, atmosphere, and shifting pace.
Carl Smith brings an Americana-inflected sensibility to the exhibition through a practice shaped by collage, screen printing, and painting. Working with found imagery and layered visual fragments, he draws from the culture of the road and from familiar modes of popular image-making, transforming them into compositions that feel both recognizable and slightly off-center. Within Detour, Smith’s work connects movement to memory, where the imagery of travel becomes a shifting visual record rather than a fixed destination.
Granville Beals extends the exhibition’s language of movement through material, process, and form. Working with metal, industrial source material, and automotive paint, he creates sculptures shaped by line, balance, and negative space, transforming rigid matter into something unexpectedly fluid. The resulting forms feel both refined and infrastructural, echoing the steel supports, contours, and engineered elements that surround systems of transit and passage.
