FLUID ECOLOGIES A CONTEMPORARY ART EXHIBITION by SeeMe Gallery
On view: June 3rd, 6 pm- June 13th, 5pm closed Sundays and Mondays
Venue: The BLANC Art Space, 15 E. 40th Street, 11th floor New York, NY 10016
Opening Reception: June 3rd, 6 pm - 8 pm
FLUID ECOLOGIES is an international group exhibition bringing together artists whose work explores the dynamic systems that shape our world and lived experience. Rather than presenting ecology as a fixed or singular idea, the exhibition embraces fluidity, hybridity, and transformation through painting, sculpture, photography, installation, mixed media, and time-based practices. The exhibition examines ecology not only as an environmental concept, but as a broader framework for understanding identity, technology, memory, and cultural exchange.
At its core, FLUID ECOLOGIES considers how systems — natural, social, and technological — continuously interact, adapt, and evolve. The exhibition invites viewers to reflect on the visible and invisible networks that sustain life and influence the ways individuals and communities coexist within an increasingly interconnected and rapidly changing world.
The participating artists approach the concept of “ecology” from multiple perspectives. Some works investigate interdependence and interconnectedness through layered imagery, transparent materials, overlapping forms, and hybrid media, revealing the complexity of systems that collide, merge, and build upon one another; illuminating the intricate relationships between humans and nature, tradition and innovation, personal experience and collective history.
Other artists focus on processes of transformation, instability, and transition. These works reflect the continual flux of ecological, social, and psychological realities, capturing both the vulnerability and resilience embedded within perpetual change. By shifting compositions, evolving imagery, kinetic elements, and mutable materials, the exhibition explores states of becoming rather than fixed identity or static form. Through expansive and intimate perspectives alike, FLUID ECOLOGIES offers a timely meditation on interconnectedness and the evolving conditions of contemporary life.

Details:
Alena Saveleva Los Angeles, CA
Alena Saveleva creates meditative visual narratives that explore ecological imbalance, transformation, and renewal through atmospheric imagery and non-linear storytelling. Drawing from contrasts between dense urban environments and nearby natural landscapes, her work reflects on the fragile relationship between humans and the natural world, inviting viewers into speculative spaces where cycles of death, rebirth, and coexistence quietly unfold.
Grégoire A. Meyer London, UK, France
Grégoire A. Meyer examines the body as a biological, emotional, and technological form in constant interaction with its surrounding environments. Through carefully constructed imagery that blurs the boundaries between reality and imagination, his work reflects on adaptation, vulnerability, and transformation, presenting identity as something fluid and continuously shaped by natural, cultural, and digital ecologies.
Pablo V. Cazares Providence, RI
Pablo V. Cazares investigates emergence, memory, and consciousness through geological and material forms that reference caves, ritual spaces, and early human environments. Working with transparent materials, moldmaking, and found objects, his sculptures imagine stone and landscape as perceptive and transformative systems, tracing resonances between prehistoric life, speculative technologies, and contemporary ecological awareness.
Lina Kusaite Brussels, Belgium
Lina Kusaite creates richly detailed visual worlds that merge fantasy, nature, and symbolic storytelling. Through layered compositions that intertwine human and non-human forms, her work considers identity as fluid and interconnected, exploring how awareness, sensation, and environment continuously shape one another within broader ecological systems.
Nacoca Ko Geneva, Switzerland
Nacoca Ko explores hybrid ecologies emerging between technology, migration, infrastructure, and the natural world through sculpture, moving image, performance, and virtual environments. Her work examines adaptation and transformation within unstable systems, imagining speculative life forms and interconnected ecosystems shaped by artificial intelligence, oceanic debris, and evolving digital and material realities.
Alison Pasquini West Haven, CT
Alison Pasquini creates surreal and biomorphic paintings that explore ecological instability, consumerism, and speculative alternate realities. Through dreamlike compositions where synthetic materials merge with organic forms, her work reflects on environmental fragility and imagines futures in which boundaries between artificial and natural systems dissolve, decay, and regenerate.
Carol Bouyoucos North Salem, NY
Carol Bouyoucos examines the shifting relationship between nature and technology through digitally constructed landscapes that reference the romanticism of nineteenth-century painting. By fragmenting and reconstituting pastoral imagery through contemporary digital processes, her work reflects on environmental transformation, mediated perception, and the unstable boundaries between the natural and the artificial.
Xi Zhang Salt Lake City, UT
Xi Zhang creates psychologically charged paintings that blur fantasy and reality through immersive, dreamlike landscapes. Combining influences from ancient Chinese painting traditions and Abstract Expressionism, his work explores emotional turbulence, isolation, and resilience, presenting environments where inner psychological states become inseparable from the surrounding world.
AnnMarie LeBlanc Hendersonville, NC
AnnMarie LeBlanc creates contemplative paintings that move between abstraction and representation, drawing on mythology, memory, and perceptual experience. Through layered surfaces and intuitive mark-making, her work evokes unseen forces and liminal states, inviting viewers into quiet reflections on presence, transformation, and interconnectedness.
Anna Fine Foer Baltimore, MD
Anna Fine Foer constructs intricate collage works that explore ecology as an interconnected system of biological, technological, and cultural relationships. Combining fragments of endangered species, minerals, maps, and mechanical forms, her compositions imagine speculative ecosystems shaped by adaptation, loss, and regeneration, while reflecting on the evolving relationship between human intervention and the natural world.
Terry Tomlinson Woodstock, NY
Terry Ann Tomlinson creates immersive sculptural installations using handmade paper, natural fibers, light, and sound to evoke the quiet rhythms of the natural world. In works such as Dreams of Medusae, suspended translucent forms inspired by jellyfish reflect on the fragility of marine ecosystems while inviting moments of stillness, contemplation, and sensory immersion.
