EXHIBITIONS & EVENTS
AFTERGLOW
September 12 - October 17, 2026
AVANT-ART GALLERY
2627 Colquitt Street
Houston, Texas 77098
An evening celebrating works that catch the light.
Opening Reception: Saturday, September 12, 6–9pm
Avant-Art Gallery is pleased to present Afterglow, a group exhibition featuring works by Chloe Hedden, Christine Tonolini, Collazo Collection, Donna Roppolo, Elaine Coombs, and Hamilton Aguiar. Bringing together artists from around the country, Afterglow explores the quiet magic that occurs when light becomes part of the artwork itself. Metallic finishes, layered surfaces, iridescent pigments, reflective materials, and luminous textures invite viewers to experience each piece from a new perspective with every passing moment. As light shifts throughout the evening, so too does the artwork, revealing unexpected depth, movement, and moments of discovery. From shimmering silver leaf and luminous metallic skies to richly layered resin and hyper-realistic mineral studies, each work demonstrates a unique relationship with light, creating an exhibition that is both visually captivating and quietly immersive. Join us for an evening of art, conversation, and champagne as we celebrate a collection designed to leave a lasting impression long after the sun has set.
