McBride / Dillman is excited to present Interior Worlds / Exterior Myths opening on June 26th with a reception from 6-8 pm at 195 Henry Street. Bringing together a dynamic group of artists, Interior Worlds / Exterior Myths captures a generational impulse to mythologize the self—blending personal memory and domestic ritual into visually magnetic forms. In a city where identity and storytelling function as currency, the exhibition explores the shifting boundaries between inner life and outward projection. The resulting artworks blur lines between introspection and performance, intimacy and spectacle.
In New York—a place where space is both physical and psychological—the tension between interior and exterior becomes especially charged. This exhibition captures that friction: between home and street, solitude and visibility, ritual and display.
Highlights include Adrienne Elise Tarver, whose evocative oil paintings, such as Summer of '61 and Timeline, channel mid-century portraiture through a lens of visibility, fiction, and historical yearning. Viraj Khanna’s embroidered portrait I am very social and friendly reimagines identity through textile and satire, merging surrealism with the digital age in character-driven work. Elisa Soliven’s ceramic Body Totem #8 fuses physicality with ritual, standing as a monument to vulnerability and resilience—gestural testaments to the body’s interior life. These three artists also feature in McBride / Dillman's upcoming fall program, underscoring the gallery’s commitment to personal mythmaking and material experimentation.
Also on view are works by Jessica Alazraki, Sam Bornstein, Jared Deery, Mary DeVincentis, Jay Dong, Marissa Graziano, Ronald Hall, Patty Horing, Marta Lee, Wendy Fulenwider Liszt, Bascha Mon, and Vanessa Gully Santiago. Spanning richly textured ceramics, dreamlike oil portraits, surreal still lifes and intimate works on paper, Interior Worlds / Exterior Myths offers a prism of perspectives that reflect, distort, and reinvent the boundaries between private world and public image.
