View work by Hoseok Youn, a respected South Korean glass artist from Belger Fine Arts in Kansas City, at his solo exhibition at TDG. His pieces for “It’s Just A Toy” are both playful and exquisite. Using traditional Venetian glass techniques, he builds intricate figurative sculptures based on comic book and video game characters – pieces that captivate all ages.

Bruno David Gallery presents The Mess Is Us, an exhibition of new works by Yvonne Osei. This is the artist’s fourth solo exhibition with the gallery. Yvonne Osei’s creative practice explores beauty, systemic racism, colonialism, clothing politics, and the erasure and distortion of history. In The Mess Is Us, she employs photo-based textile works to confront cultural amnesia and spotlight narratives of racial violence in the United States, grounding her inquiry in St. Louis, where she lives and works.

Bruno David is pleased to present Sticks and Stones, an exhibition by Korean-born artist Becky Moon. This is the artist’s first solo exhibition with the gallery. Sticks and Stones, a series of paintings that explore the themes of belief, tangibility, mass, and gravity. There is nothing as everlasting as the invisible human mind. The mind is a refuge for those who long for a land they can never return to. I want my paintings to be flag posts that remind the existence of the mind that it is real, alive, and persistent. Even when all is lost, the mind lives on.

Bruno David is pleased to present Upended, a sculpture installation by multi-disciplinary artist Judith Shaw. The exhibition will be on view from April 4 through June 21, 2025, at the gallery’s WINDOW ON FORSYTH location, accessible 24/7 at 7513 Forsyth Blvd., Saint Louis (Downtown Clayton), MO. This is Shaw’s second solo exhibition with Bruno David Gallery. ‘Upended’ is part of a sculptural series that turns roadside tire debris into emotionally charged pieces about disintegration and integration. The work is informed by the expressive potential inherent in the raw material. “Explosive, gutted tire casings evoke the impulsive pace of our world and the outer and inner turbulence that erupts as a consequence, Shaw says. The debris forms a conversation about fragmentation, alienation, and dislocation. When gathering rubber along the highways, with cars and trucks speeding past me, the air and ground vibrating, I experience viscerally the fraying of personal and interpersonal connection. The chaos lingers in the character of the sculptural forms. At the same time, the womb-like shape speaks to human-to-human connection and intimacy.”

Bruno David Gallery presents Vanitas Vanitatum. A video-work by multi-disciplinary Chicago-based artist Carlos Salazar-Lermont. This is the artist’s second solo exhibition with the gallery. Vanitas Vanitatum presents a split-screen composition. On the left side, surgical and carpentry tools such as a saw and a hammer are shown, which Salazar-Lermont uses energetically but without purpose. On the right side, two assistants pierce the artist's skin to insert eyelets, which they then use, along with Salazar-Lermont’s shoelace, to tie a bouquet of flowers to his chest.

Bruno David is pleased to present Adaptations, an exhibition by artist Arny Nadler. This is the artist’s fourth solo exhibition with the gallery. In this new series, Nadler’s work explores ideas of wholeness in physical and psychological forms. In clay and ink, he contemplates the body’s precarity and its ability to adapt. Nadler says: “These simultaneously heroic and absurd forms question our fixed notions of defeat and triumph. In the face of danger, desire, or even loss, theirs is a system that adjusts toward survival.”
