Adrienna Matzeg’s solo exhibition "After Hours" at Abbozzo Gallery in Toronto presents embroidered textile works inspired by her late-night explorations of Kyoto, Tokyo, and Seoul during a July 2025 trip. The pieces capture quiet, illuminated scenes of convenience stores, markets, and roadside attractions, rendered on black linen with a diaristic, snapshot-like quality.
The exhibition marks an evolution in Matzeg’s travel-based practice, translating the energy of urban nightlife into intimate, tactile compositions. By focusing on the stillness of after-hours cityscapes, the show offers a unique perspective on how personal experience and memory can be preserved through textile art, connecting viewers to the artist’s sensory journey across East Asian metropolises.
