Thursday December 11th, 6-9pm

Heron Arts is pleased to present Lucid Plane, a group exhibition that blurs the line between dream and vision. Bringing together contemporary artists whose work channels the aesthetics of psychedelia—vivid palettes, surreal compositions, altered realities, and expanded consciousness—the exhibition spans painting, sculpture, analog, and digital media to explore new modes of perception. Curated by Tova Lobatz, Heron Arts Director, and independent curator and art consultant Dorka Keehn, Lucid Plane invites viewers to enter expanded states of seeing and imagining.

The exhibition features works by Miguel Arzabe, Jay Blakesberg, Kelsey Brookes, Nick Dong, Marco Ferrero, Lia Halloran, David Huffman, Mario Martinez, Kate Nichols, Psychedelic Puppet Show with Brad Necyk and Jason Silva, and Terri Loewenthal. The opening reception takes place Thursday, December 11, 2025, from 6–9 PM and is free and open to the public. The exhibition will remain on view through January 22, 2026, by appointment only.

Highlights
  • Miguel Arzabe deconstructed weavings rooted in Andean cosmovision.
  • Jay Blakesberg and Marco Ferrero’s The Body Electric, reshaping perceptions of the human figure through liquid light.
  • Kelsey Brookes’ intricate paintings merging molecular biology, quantum physics,
    and neuroscience.
  • Nick Dong’s light- and sound-based installations designed for inner stillness.
  • Lia Halloran’s layered, gestural works translating cosmic cycles into visible form.
  • David Huffman’s Afrofuturist “traumanauts,” painterly abstractions exploring identity, memory, and the Black diasporic experience.
  • Mario Martinez’ sculptures blending sacred geometry with modern technology.
  • Kate Nichols’ butterfly series, probing genetic modification and divination systems.
  • Psychedelic Puppet Show with Brad Necyk and Jason Silva — a surreal, multimedia installation combining NFTs, video, and puppetry to explore absurdity, consciousness, and expanded awareness.
  • Terri Loewenthal’s kaleidoscopic landscape photographs, created through in- camera manipulation.

Lucid Plane reveals how science, spirituality, and psychedelic aesthetics converge, opening portals to alternate planes of perception.
