Jackson Junge Gallery has launched its first group exhibition of the year, titled DUALITY, which showcases the work of 24 artists exploring the concept of the diptych. Each participant created two interconnected pieces designed to be viewed as a single entity, focusing on themes of opposition such as light and dark, authority and resilience, or realism and abstraction. Featured works include Sabrina Katz’s textural explorations of Lake Michigan and Julian Guyton’s sociopolitical commentary on the American experience.
The exhibition highlights the enduring relevance of the diptych format as a tool for conceptual and formal inquiry. By tasking artists with reconciling two distinct parts into a unified whole, the show examines how contrast—whether through medium, color, or subject matter—can deepen a viewer's perception of complex social and personal narratives.
