House of CoHit is pleased to announce Underlying Current, a group exhibition curated by Eli Consilvio, opening on September 19, 2025. The exhibition explores the unseen forces shaping our collective mood in a moment of rapid change and contradiction, bringing together four contemporary artists whose practices engage with turbulence, resilience, and renewal.
Underlying Current traces today’s emotional landscape, balancing unease with quieter pulses of hope. Rather than documenting events, the exhibition considers the invisible energies that shape perception and experience: the push and pull between fragmentation and connection, fear and optimism. Through drawing, painting, photography, and ceramics, the show invites viewers to move between parallel streams of thought and feeling, asking: Which currents carry you forward, and which do you resist?
Selected Works
Gregory Siff’s work blends abstraction, pop iconography, and handwritten text, creating layered visual diaries alive with urgency. His work embodies humor, memory, and coded meaning, offering a visceral entry point to the exhibition.
Samuel Bayer
Samuel Bayer brings a cinematic sensibility to his mixed-media works. Scarred, layered, and emotionally charged, his works carry both intimacy and unease, anchoring the exhibition’s darker spectrum with a raw weight of personal experience.
Richard Nam’s ceramic sculptures and paintings combine playful pop references with humor and nostalgia. Infused with joy and absurdity, his works diffuse tension and spark delight, offering moments of release within the show.
Negar Zonoobi’s layered paintings and works on paper weave together personal histories and collective memories. Her practice reflects both intimate narrative and broader cultural experience, adding a deeply resonant voice to the exhibition’s exploration of unseen forces.
Together, these artists embody the dualities at the core of Underlying Current, guiding visitors through an installation that shifts from intensity to stillness, turbulence to reflection.
