Thrilled to present brand new work for my upcoming solo show Reliquary@catskillartspace

Opening/artist talk this weekend 5/2 from 3-5 alongside @russellfloersch and
@elanaherzog

💫 We are in the Studio with Ian McMahon — an artist who calls himself a “material collaborator.”

Working from his studio in Newburgh, New York, McMahon pushes materials like plaster, steel, and air to their limits, creating monumental sculptures and installations that blur the line between raw labor, engineering, and art.

His process is an ongoing dialogue with materials: “I push them, they push me back.”

From inflating massive forms to spraying plaster into custom molds, his experimental methods transform everyday materials into striking structures that capture a fleeting moment in time.

In our latest In the Studio feature, we explore McMahon’s creative process, his obsession with experimentation, and how his work continues to evolve through curiosity, challenge, and discovery.

🎥 Watch the reel for a glimpse inside the studio — then dive into the full story by

Ian McMahon’s sculptures inhabit the tension between solidity and impermanence. Working with plaster, a material that embodies both architectural strength and fragile transience, he captures moments of transformation: air solidifying into form, pressure leaving its trace upon surface, and collapse lingering as a possibility within structure. His pillowed forms invite the impulse to touch, carrying within their apparent softness a quiet sense of weightlessness.

WHAT LINGERS is on view through November 8th.155 Elm Street, New Canaan, CT

ARDEN + WHITE GALLERY is pleased to announce the opening of WHAT LINGERS, an exhibit that brings together two artists, George Ian McMahon and James Florio, whose practices transform fleeting moments into lasting forms—moments illuminated through their capture and opened to sustained contemplation. Their works embrace impermanence as a site of wonder, revealing time as fluid, luminous, and alive within the act of attention.

WHAT LINGERS is on view through November 9th.
155 Elm Street, New Canaan, CT
