Bridgette Mayer Gallery is pleased to present Soft Architectures: Paper As Structure, Idea & Translation, a major group exhibition featuring seventeen nationally known and distinguished regional artists working across the expansive field of works on paper. On view from March 1 through August 1, 2026, the exhibition brings together significant voices in contemporary art, offering collectors and art enthusiasts an in-depth exploration of paper as both medium and conceptual framework. Through mixed media painting, photography, silkscreen and woodblock prints, drawing, collage, and pastel, Soft Architectures examines paper not merely as a support, but as structure, surface, and site of translation. The works range from figurative and portrait-based compositions to bold abstractions, layered collages, and conceptual text-based works. Together, they demonstrate the remarkable versatility of paper—its immediacy, fragility, rigor, and enduring relevance within contemporary practice.
