Harmonic Chaos, a new exhibition featuring artists Martha Thorn and Tonya Solley Thornton, has opened at Block Gallery in Raleigh, North Carolina. The show runs from May 7 through August 15, 2025, with an opening reception on May 8. The exhibition presents Thorn's layered paintings and Thornton's collage-driven sculptures, highlighting their contrasting yet complementary approaches to contemporary art.
The exhibition matters because it showcases the work of two local artists whose technically skilled, boundary-pushing practices demonstrate the vitality of Raleigh's visual arts scene. By offering free public access and a reception that encourages direct engagement with the artists, Block Gallery continues its role in making contemporary art accessible to the community.
