“Mead’s chromatic, renaissance-esque canvases often recede to a hazy, distant vanishing point, giving the viewer the sense that there’s something to be discovered well beyond the horizon.

His approach always began with the practical, though he embraced the fantastical in equal measure, down to gelatinous charcuterie served on disc-like spaceships. Mead indulged art deco sensibilities while maintaining a sensual human presence.”

Final days to catch Syd Mead: Future Pastime
On view through 5/21

“Mead’s future is a perennial tomorrow, a place of possibility and endless conjecture, and it is this spaciousness that has granted his images their remarkably long half-lives. Throughout a remarkably varied career, Mead never lost the hope for the future and its construction.”

One month left to see Syd Mead: Future Pastime - on view through May 21st.

After more than two years of preparation, proud to announce “Future Pastime”, a landmark New York City exhibition showcasing the visionary paintings of legendary artist and visual futurist Syd Mead (@syd_mead), curated by myself and William Corman (@william.corman).

The show runs March 27 thru May 21 at 534 W 26th St. Tuesday-Sunday 10a-6p. Please join us for the opening on Thursday, March 27th from 6PM to 8PM.  

”Future Pastime” explores the mind of the man who shaped the way we see tomorrow. Syd Mead’s future is not one of sterile minimalism, cold automation, or far fetched absurdism. It is aching, alive, kinetic, and deeply human. Imagine a leisurely drive through a cerulean-blue interstellar highway, a dog race featuring mechanical greyhounds soaring above skyscrapers, a dinner party where guests don sleek, metallic couture.

Mead’s meticulous gouache paintings render the future as something tactile, filled with light, movement, and boundless possibility. His work reflects a humanity that, while evolving alongside technology, remains deeply connected to its traditions and social bonds. By seamlessly blending the familiar with the fantastical, “Future Pastime” underscores the truth at the core of Mead’s legacy:

These are not abstract utopias, but blueprints for a world just beyond our reach. The future isn’t something distant. It’s already here—we’re just catching up.
