Nathaniel Mary Quinn and Gregory Huebner: The Hand That Guides

Gallery hours: Thursday-Saturday, 1PM-5PM

This exhibition marks the first joint presentation of Nathaniel Mary Quinn and his former mentor, Gregory Huebner—two artists whose practices are bound by the transformative power of guidance, reflection, and human connection. Renowned for his emotionally charged, collage-like portraits, Quinn presents a new series of paintings on linen created specifically for this occasion. These works meditate on the “guiding hands” that have shaped his life and artistic path—mentors, loved ones, and inner voices—while opening a broader conversation about the universal role of mentorship in shaping creative journeys.

Alongside Quinn’s new work, the exhibition features Huebner’s Ritual series (2015–ongoing), a body of abstract paintings that channel his lifelong exploration of the unseen. Layering color, energy, and gesture, Huebner seeks balance amid chaos, grounding his work in decades of philosophical inquiry and spiritual study.
Together, their works resonate across generations, offering two distinct yet interconnected visions of art as a practice of searching—whether for selfhood, for spirit, or for the possibility of transformation.
