CROSSLEY GALLERY

​

April 20 – 24, 2026

Reception: Thursday, April 23, 2026, 5 – 8pm

 

The Savage Gallery is pleased to present the exhibition, Interwoven Transcendence, featuring new work by Benny Hickman and Maddy Noel. Through texture, shape, and color, Hickman and Noel explore the spiritual aspect of relationships with nature and with the self. 

 

Hickman’s works of organic forms aim to portray different forms of love and relationships. Their work consists of using the changing forms of lava lamps, and turning these fluid shapes into pieces of art through prints, paintings, and sculptures. 

 

Through paintings of highly saturated sunsets, Noel explores the tension between human presence and nature. Subtle man-made structures within her paintings highlight the disruptions of nature within otherwise calm environments. 

 

While each artist maintains a unique visual language, their practices unite through transformation and connection.
