TITLE Gallery is pleased to present One’s Right Mind, a group exhibition featuring the work of Ravi Kai Buschman, Matt Clark, Poppy DeltaDawn, Mika Griego, Sam Hawley, Camilla Parker, Alivia Magaña, Ava Moss, and Carla Lopez.

Ravi Kai Buschman, known informally as the “Janky Artist”, is a painter and sculptor from Albuquerque, New Mexico. Buschman uses a lot of found, reclaimed, and unorthodox materials in his work; such as scrap wood and metal, old reclaimed drop cloths, and traditional house paint to create janky structures. His artwork touches on the complexity of stories, using internal and external contexts as inspirations.

Matt Clark is an artist from Albuquerque, New Mexico. Using primarily oil paints, his work portrays the debts between ego and nature. After living a decade in NYC where he began painting, then moving to the obscure desert landscapes of northern NM, his self taught paintings formed to blend surrealism and grotesque art with his immediate surroundings, building inspirations from artists like Ken Price and Francis Bacon. Clark's paintings delve into the median– where fiefdom meets the presence of time.

Poppy DeltaDawn is an artist and educator making work that is guided by material. She holds an MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art and a BFA from Maryland Institute College of Art, both in Fiber. DeltaDawn has held residencies and fellowships at Caldera Arts, Vermont Studio Center, and ACRE Residency, among others. Recent projects have included a solo exhibition at H Space Gallery (Cleveland, OH) and a Media Arts Fellowship at BRIC Arts Media (Brooklyn, NY). DeltaDawn was a Full Time visiting artist at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2022-2023, and is currently an Assistant Professor of Visual Art in Textiles at the University of Kansas.

Carla Lopez is a visual artist who grew up in France and is currently attending the MFA program at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque. She received her BFA from Pratt Institute and her MS in Art Therapy from Florida State University. In addition to being an artist, Carla is an art therapist and professional counselor. Working primarily in drawing and painting, her art explores the experience of being alive and the inner psychological workings of suffering and healing. Recently, Carla has been using the visual motif of fire as a conduit to channel anxiety and grief in an erupting world while alluding to opportunities for transformation and connection. Informed by her career in mental health, Carla’s art constitutes a search for and practice of healing.

Samantha Hawley is an artist and art educator born and raised in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Hawley’s work focuses on the embellishment and exploration of her memories. Using playfulness and color she creates a tangible past for herself to participate in.

Ava Moss was born and currently resides in Albuquerque, New Mexico. She is currently studying painting and psychology at the University of New Mexico. Through the medium of paint, her work incorporates psychological theories and research in hopes to capture moments of feelings which cannot be described. With an emphasis on color and abstract figuration, Ava paints her personal experiences that she hopes visually captures those strange and short lived emotions.

Camilla Parker is an artist based in Albuquerque, New Mexico. She has been painting since 2021 with a focus in oil painting, studying at the University of New Mexico. The content of her work is influenced by investigation of women and femmes, particularly the effects of generational trauma, mental illness, and fear of self-expression. While much of these themes are drawn from her personal experiences, the figures remain anonymous as she wants the viewers to be able to ‘see’ themselves within the work. Her compositions are inspired by double-exposure photography and collage, where she digitally edits and layers images to compose each painting. Emphasis on a limited palette, with strange colors like phthalo blue, cadmium lemon, and quinacridone pink, lend to the dreamlike tone and setting of each painting.
