Portals

 May 31 - July 5, 2025

Join us at Ivester Contemporary for Portals, a solo exhibition by Christopher Cascio and his second with the gallery. This survey of work spans the past decade of Cascio’s practice, bringing together pieces across a range of materials, including acrylic on canvas, sewn found fabric, and concert wristbands, that all center around the recurring motif of the portal. Known for his explorations of obsession, compulsion, and ritual, Cascio often works in dense, repetitive patterns. In this focused presentation, each piece is anchored by a portal: sometimes overt, like an opening at the top of a staircase, and other times more abstract, revealed through a single contrasting form. Portals invites viewers to consider these moments as thresholds, interruptions in the pattern that offer space for reflection, transformation, or escape.
