August 9 – September 27, 2025
Opening Reception: Saturday, August 9 | 5–8 PM
Nick Ryan Gallery

Nick Ryan Gallery presents Interdimensional, a group exhibition featuring seven artists whose diverse practices blur boundaries between painting, collage, sculpture, and installation. United by an interest in material experimentation and alternate perceptions, these artists transform the familiar into complex, layered visions that invite fresh ways of seeing.

Featured Artists

• Galen Cheney (North Adams, MA) creates richly layered, physical paintings that merge abstraction with deep material exploration. Influenced by ancient civilizations, urban graffiti, and mid-century Abstract Expressionism, Cheney’s work has been widely exhibited in the U.S., Canada, Europe, China, and the UK. She has held residencies at MASS MoCA, Vermont Studio Center, and the Millay Colony.
• Lydia Farrell (Littleton, CO) reimagines suburban landscapes through vivid, surreal paintings blending gothic and paranormal imagery with fluorescent palettes. Farrell holds an MFA from Boston University and has completed residencies in Beijing, the Vermont Studio Center, and the Art Students League of New York’s VYT program.
• Jodi Hays (Nashville, TN) explores materiality through dyed cardboard, textiles, and paint, merging sewing and piecing traditions with modernist abstraction. Hays has exhibited at Night Gallery (LA), the Corcoran Gallery, and Cooper Union, with work featured in New American Paintings, Hyperallergic, and The New York Times.
• Garry Noland (Kansas City, MO) creates layered, asymmetrical mixed-media works using materials like tape, maps, and cardboard. His work has been shown at the Bemis Center, Cleve Carney Museum of Art, and John Michael Kohler Art Center, with fellowships from the NEA/Mid-America Arts Alliance and more.
• Lisa Rock (Oakland, CA) draws from snapshots of urban walks, exploring the interplay between natural and built environments through color, pattern, and light. Rock has held solo exhibitions at Johansson Projects and Monterey Museum of Art, with residencies at Vermont Studio Center and Black Rock Desert NCA.
• Andy Ryan (Kansas City, MO) works primarily in watercolor, layering surreal imagery with humor, mysticism, and botanical motifs. A former commercial photographer in NYC, Ryan began painting in 2020 and has since exhibited in numerous group shows, with his first solo show at the Kansas City Public Library.
• Lucas Thomas (Denver, CO) combines painting, woodworking, ceramics, and assemblage to explore geometry, mysticism, and memory. His multidisciplinary works evoke both the built and natural worlds and have been widely exhibited in Colorado, earning him the 2022 Golden Educator’s Residency.

Together, these artists grapple with shifting realities and dimensions—between two- and three-dimensional forms, between the seen and the imagined—inviting viewers to reconsider how we experience places, objects, and the world around us.
