Two artists, one shared vision, celebrating the beauty and resilience of the natural world through glass and paint.

Atelier Modern proudly presents an inspiring exhibition bringing together the luminous glass artistry of Grace Chepenik and the impressionistic paintings of Bryan Greene. This unique pairing explores nature’s vitality and transformation through two distinct yet deeply connected artistic languages.

Grace Chepenik’s glass creations are infused with the spirit of her Florida roots and her experiences in South Florida and abroad. Through bold color, fluid form, and expressive surfaces, her work honors the energy and resilience of natural environments. Drawing inspiration from the ocean’s delicate wonders—jellyfish, shark’s teeth, and shells—Chepenik’s glass sculptures capture the translucence and movement of marine life, transforming fragile moments of nature into enduring, radiant forms.

In dialogue with Chepenik’s glasswork, Bryan Greene’s impressionistic paintings reflect nature’s cycles through imagery of waterfalls, seeds grounded in the earth reaching skyward, and balloons ascending into the atmosphere. His work evokes growth, transformation, and the poetic balance between earth and air, rendered in vibrant brushstrokes that pulse with life.

Together, their works create a harmonious conversation between materiality and imagery, solidity and fluidity, earth and sky. The exhibition at Atelier Modern invites viewers to experience a shared celebration of the natural world’s beauty and resilience, conveyed through the radiant clarity of glass and the expressive freedom of paint.

Join us on May 16th from 4 to 6 PM at Atelier Modern for the artist reception celebrating the vibrant exhibition of Grace Chepenik and Bryan Greene. Meet the artists, explore their captivating works inspired by nature’s beauty and transformation, and enjoy an evening of art, conversation, and community. Light refreshments will be served.
