Holy Restless Fugitive will be on view at Layered tomorrow at ALLGORITHIM House.

Opening this Friday, 𝑳𝒂𝒚𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒅 at ALLGORITHIM House.

𝑳𝒂𝒚𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒅 brings together seventeen artists whose practices share a common formal and philosophical proposition: that meaning accumulates. The exhibition takes as its premise the act of layering itself, not as technique alone, but as a way of thinking. Of ideology built upon ideology. Of identity formed through the sediment of experience. Of color and mark arriving on a surface already weighted with intention, already in conversation with everything that came before it.

To layer is to refuse resolution. It is to hold contradiction, to allow the underpainting to show through, to let one idea interrupt another without demanding that either surrender. The works in this exhibition operate in that space of productive tension: between the legible and the obscured, the conscious and the subconscious, the personal and the universal. What is revealed is never the whole picture. What is concealed is never entirely gone.

Works by Thomas Stokes III, Vincent Lantzy, Connor Meager, Zoë Renait, Jess Kellner, Samuel Elliot Phillips, Piper Olivas, and Katarina Holbrough are presented alongside Dylan Anthony Roworth, Sarah Savior, Gaëthan Henrioux, Adam Brierley, Ricardo Rodriguez, Deb Santangelo, Brad Johns, Austin Santangelo, and Preston Douglas Boyer.

Across painting and mixed media, Layered resists singular reading. Each work arrives carrying its own history of marks, revisions, and intentions. Together, they form something less like a group exhibition and more like a conversation that has been ongoing — one the viewer steps into mid-sentence.

Jess Kellner is a multidisciplinary artist whose work returns, again and again, to the human condition — a thread that runs through his painting, his filmmaking, and his primary home on the stage and screen. Most recently, he stepped behind the camera to write and direct his debut short film, Enough is Enough.

There are two sides to Jess, and both are essential. The first is the one that fills a room — warm, instinctively funny, the kind of presence that makes people feel at ease. The second runs quieter, turning inward, pressing on the deeper questions of what it means to be here. The balance between the two isn't a contradiction. It's a philosophy.
