Mixed Perception
A group exhibition celebrating the gallery’s second anniversary
Atrium Artspace presents Mixed Perception, a group exhibition celebrating the gallery’s second anniversary. Mixed Perception brings together a dynamic group of new and returning artists to explore the ephemeral space where artist and viewer meet. Within this shared moment, meaning is continuously formed and shaped by individual memory, experience, and interpretation. Through varied media and methods, these artworks invite the audience into active dialogue where perception becomes collaboration. Each piece exists as a living exchange of the artist’s intention and viewer’s interpretation. Mixed Perception celebrates the fluid intersection between what is created and what is seen.
Opening Reception: Friday, April 10, 2026, 6pm-9pm
Anniversary Party: Friday, May 15, 2026, 6pm-9pm
Closing & Artist Talk: Sunday, May 31, 2026, 2pm-5pm
About the artists
Adewale Alli (b. 1993) is a Baltimore-based multidisciplinary artist whose practice centers on survival, transformation, and the emotional weight of being alive. Through painting, sculpture, and installation, Alli creates works that translate personal endurance into visual form. His practice is rooted in a belief that art can serve as therapy, power, and resistance at once.
Alan Rhody (b. 1958) is a Maryland-based stone sculptor and holographer who has been involved with the art of holography, or “sculpting with light”, for over 40 years. The technological process incorporates laser light, specialized optics and ultra-resolution photosensitive emulsions to record and generate fully dimensional images.
Heather Bathon (b. 1962) is a Maryland-based painter whose work is heavily influenced by the colors, shapes and music of her childhood in Brazil. Form and color are the main drivers in her creative practice.
Josh Brooks (b. 1989) is a Baltimore-based artist known for his distinctive approach to figurative painting. Brooks rejects the suburban cultural pull towards precision and perfection, instead embracing a deliberate sense of “ordered chaos”.
Kyoungho Isaac Kim (b. 1998) is a Baltimore-based artist born in Minnesota and shaped by his Korean heritage. His practice explores relationships that extend beyond borders through the language of painting. Engaging with post-imperial discourse and transnational identity, he constructs visual narratives that reflect the condition of being in-between.
Sam Weible (b. 2002) is a Baltimore-based artist originally from Columbus, Ohio. They received their BA in art history and BFA in painting from Miami University, and will complete their MFA in painting from MICA in May, 2026. Their work primarily focuses on the sensitivity of perception through the study of optics and materials.
Samuel Brice (b. 1937) is a Dunbar High School alumni and self-taught artist who hails from East Baltimore, where people serve as his constant muse. With his mastery of charcoal, chalk, pastels and shading, he delves deep into the essence and inner spirit of his subjects. Sam’s art has generated widespread acclaim and impact within the community, where he has worked as a portraitist and card painter for over 70 years.
Troy LaShawan Norris (b. 1999) is a Baltimore-based artist who uses color, texture and negative space to harmonize themes around vulnerability, tenderness, sexuality, and angst. “Using prose, photography, oil and wax I honor the anomaly in the dark. The space experienced only by a set of limited senses in a special order. The truth of context in all. Humans, animals, lovers, nature and inanimate objects alike.”
