At West Chelsea Contemporary, Two Artists Bring Classical Archetypes Into the Present

West Chelsea Contemporary in Austin, Texas, is presenting “LUX ÆTERNA,” a joint exhibition featuring more than 40 works by Swiss visual artist Simon Berger and British artist Gary James McQueen. Berger is known for portraits created from hammered laminated safety glass, while McQueen, nephew of the late fashion designer Alexander McQueen, works with lenticular prints that shift optically. The show includes two collaborative pieces that combine their respective mediums, exploring themes of classical mythology, perception, and the nature of light.
