The Leonard Pearlstein Gallery Presents - Conflagrations

Pearlstein Gallery is pleased to present two concurrent exhibitions in Spring 2026, with artists selected from our 2025-26 Call for Entries.  

Conflagrations, a group show featuring recent works by Viola Bordon, Evan Curtis Charles Hall, Narendra Haynes, and Emmanuela Soria Ruiz, investigates fire as force, event, and aftermath.  Moving between active burn and residual trace, the artists ask how we might respond to fire's capacity to clear, consume, reveal, and reorder. As fire increasingly shapes our ecological context, these works reflect on how fire constructs and destroys in the same gesture, reshaping ecologies, infrastructures, and collective memory. What burns. What survives. What returns.  


Gallery Hours:
Tuesday - Friday 12 p.m. - 6 p.m.
Saturday 12 p.m. - 5 p.m.
