GROUP EXHIBITION: PILOT LIGHT
P·P·O·W is pleased to present Pilot Light, a group exhibition curated by Gerald Lovell, featuring new and recent works by Bre Andy, Praise Fuller, Gerald Lovell, Devin N. Morris, Nickola Pottinger, Curtis Talwst Santiago, and Taylor Simmons.
May 2 – June 6, 2026
The exhibition will span painting, sculpture, and multi-media installation. The resulting presentation is shaped, not by spectacle, but by endurance: the slow, persistent force of faith, practice, and resiliency. In an art world where diversity can become a passing trend and visibility is often confused with care, Pilot Light insists on another measure of value outside the demands of immediacy, legibility, and consumption. Named after a small but essential flame that continuously burns regardless of the conditions outside, the exhibition presents artists who embrace forms of creation that are deeply personal and life-sustaining. In Pilot Light, artistic practice is understood as a mode of caregiving, a commitment to one’s divination, one’s community, and the subtle but unwavering spark that makes creation possible in the first place.
Bre Andy (b. 1994) is a figurative oil painter exploring intimacy, sexuality, domesticity, and self-observation through portraiture and still life.
Praise Fuller is a New York-based, self-taught artist, poet, and educator. Her practice spans printmaking, installation, and mixed media with a central focus on the cyanotype process.
For Gerald Lovell (b. 1992), painting is an act of biography. Combining flat and impressionistic painting with thick daubs of impasto, Lovell creates monumental, loving scenes often lost to the abyss of memory.
Through collage, painting, photography, physical assemblage, and video, Devin N. Morris (b. 1986) prioritizes displays of personal innocence and acts of kindness within a surreal landscape.
Nickola Pottinger (b. 1986) combines elements of drawing, collage, and sculpture to create heavily textured and layered reliefs that reflect on her background as a dancer.
Curtis Talwst Santiago (b. 1979) works across painting, sculpture, diorama, sound, and performance to interrogate systems of control and the spaces where those systems break.
The paintings and drawings of Taylor Simmons (b. 1990) incorporate hazy depictions of everyday life to form an archive of compulsively collated imagery.
