Now on View: Translucence: Revisited by Matt Petley-Jones
Memory is never fixed—it shifts, distorts, and softens over time. Translucence: Revisited explores the delicate space between representation and abstraction, where color, form, and texture dissolve into the hazy edges of recollection.
Matt Petley-Jones’ work lives in this in-between—where perception blurs and nostalgia takes hold. Influenced by a lineage of photographers and artists, and inspired by the vast landscapes of the Pacific Northwest and Canadian Prairies, his paintings capture fleeting moments—some vivid, some dreamlike—like echoes of old film photographs.
We had a fantastic opening night on April 3rd and were thrilled to have Matt Petley-Jones join us in person. The exhibition is now on display at SOPA Fine Arts until June—be sure to visit and experience this luminous body of work before it’s gone.
Translucence: Revisited invites us to linger in the spaces where memory and reality meet through layered compositions and a palette that glows with emotion.
