Galactic Panther Art Gallery announces All Around Us, a vibrant group exhibition exploring the imagery, characters, and cultural symbols that saturate modern life. Featuring an international lineup of emerging and established artists, the show highlights how familiar icons—from cigarettes and soda cans to comic book heroes and celebrities—shape our visual landscape.
The exhibition began when Taiwanese artist Freakyoneone contacted the gallery from China expressing interest in exhibiting his work. Known for his satirical collisions of consumer-inspired imagery, Freakyoneone’s work provided the spark that grew into a full-scale group show celebrating pop aesthetics and contemporary commentary.
Building on that foundation, Galactic Panther curated a dynamic roster of artists whose work reflects the playful, critical, and sometimes surreal visual language of everyday culture.
Featured artists include:
● Sanchez McGrath, street-art drawings of celebrities on U.S. post office stickers
● Joseph Lupo, imagery appropriates and reinterprets comic book visuals
● Garfield from Memory, coats subjects in unmistakable orange and black stripes
● Brian Hoffman, sharp visual critiques of modern society
● Rob Weiss, mind-bending paintings that challenge our perception
The exhibition also introduces several new artists to the gallery:
● Elizabeth Saloka, intricately hand-painted rocks
● Joost Van Der Spek, immaculately crafted canvases
● Walker Mettling and Will Arnold, vibrant and energetic prints
All Around Us brings together artists whose works capture the visual clutter and cultural symbols that surround us daily. By reinterpreting familiar imagery through satire, appropriation, and bold craftsmanship, the exhibition highlights how pop culture and consumer aesthetics continue to shape us.
