Opening Reception: Friday, October 23, 6–9 PM Flatline Gallery is pleased to present A Little Song in the Dark, a solo exhibition of recent oil paintings by Kevin Glass, on view October 23 through November 22, 2026. Working through repetition, accumulation, and revision, Glass constructs densely layered paintings that move between order and disorder, structure and dissolution. Recurring circular forms gather into constellations, grids, and fields, suggesting everything from cellular structures and geological formations to ritual counting and the passage of time. Elsewhere, marks accumulate and disperse without an apparent organizing principle, revealing unexpected relationships between density, rhythm, and empty space. The exhibition takes its title from philosopher Gilles Deleuze’s image of a child singing to establish a sense of order in the darkness. For Glass, painting becomes a similarly provisional act of construction: a means of finding form within uncertainty, even as that form remains subject to change. Built through successive layers of pigment, scraping, covering, and interruption, the paintings retain the physical record of their making. Thick deposits of oil paint give way to exposed underlayers; repeated gestures produce subtle variations, accidents, and departures from their original systems. Rather than treating abstraction as the spontaneous expression of an interior state, Glass approaches painting as an ongoing negotiation between intention and material, allowing each decision to generate the conditions for the next. A Little Song in the Dark brings together a body of work that considers how repetition produces difference, how structures emerge through accumulation, and how even the most ordered systems remain open to transformation. by @__________flatline
#savannahhodges @im____________tired Featured work: Urban Seraphim; 20” x 16” x 7”, 2026 Arduino, servo motors, taxidermy pigeon wings DM Flatline Gallery or email info@flatlinegallery.com for inquiries _________ _________ Savannah Hodges is a Chicago-based artist whose work explores the delicate intersection of life, death, and reanimation. What began as an Ode to the Pigeons of Chicago has evolved into an exploration of the beauty found in the overlooked and the discarded. Through her work, she seeks to resurrect the vibrant, unruly chaos these birds embody in life, preserving something of their existence long after it has ended.

#fionnkelly @iifionn Featured work: Gagou’s Last Vision; 14” x 24”, 2026 In Response to My Desire to Leave; 54” x 30”, 2025 Untitled; 4” x 6”, 2022 Little House Under Deer Hill; 4” x 4”, 2022 Cloud Hill; 5” x 7”, 2026 DM Flatline Gallery or email info@flatlinegallery.com for inquiries _________ _________ Fionn Kelly is an artist based out of Chicago, IL, where they received their BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Their work has been exhibited at Gallery Kobun in Tokyo, online through Paintingsince2000, and at Flatline Gallery. Fionn Kelly’s work explores the natural world of northern California filtered through memory and a longing for stillness in Chicago. Having found respite in nature while dealing with chronic illness, Kelly uses the landscape to contemplate the truths of living. In these oil paintings, their distinctive angled brushwork and layered color conveys the fullness and activity within emptiness. By manipulating scale—expanding simple landscapes onto large canvases and compressing immense skies and hills into intimate panels—they evoke the quiet and larger than life beauty of nature. Kelly’s work stands as a meditation on the endurance of land and the persistence of the human spirit. Photos by @artdocchicago by @__________flatline

Her work explores solidarity, biology, symbiosis, networks, speculation, and connection. Hope has a BFA from the School of The Art Institute of Chicago with an emphasis in print media and art and technology studies. Currently teaching robotics to Chicago youth, her practice is rooted in the value of community building and tech accessibility as imperative modes of connection and combating authoritarianism.

#jackiepyles @jackie_______o Featured work: After The Wedding; 4’ x 6’, 2024 Oil on Canvas Untitled; 24” x 24”, 2024 Oil on Canvas Headed Down to Feed the Chickens; 6’ x 4’, 2023 Oil on Canvas DM Flatline gallery or email info@flatlinegallery.com for inquiries _________ _________ Jackie Pyles is a New York based artist focused on how the materiality of paint lends itself to storytelling. She portrays the quiet nuances that take place between interactions—what is gained, what is lost, what is left unsaid during an exchange. Her paintings feel like drawing back a curtain to find something already unfolding, where the intentionality in light, color, and gesture becomes the narrator of each piece.

#evatellier @eva_tellier_ Featured works: Larvae IV; 18" x 5.5" x 8.5", 2026 Ceramic, IV medical tubes, silicone and steel The Soft Ground; 9.5" x 9.5" (15), 2025 silicone tiles DM Flatline Gallery or email info@flatlinegallery.com for inquiries _________ _________ Eva Tellier is a sculptor working primarily with ceramics, silicone and organic materials.

Tellier has shown her work internationally in Europe, Canada and the United States. She lives and works in New York City where she has recently ended a residency at SculptureSpace NYC and was a recent artist fellow at the Museum of Art and Design. Inspired by the anatomies of hard- and soft-bodied species and the polymorphism of nature, Tellier’s work explores tensions between natural forms and human-made processes of modification, mimicry, and control. Drawing on queer theory, the monstrous feminine, and gothic fiction, the work becomes a speculative investigation of alternative aesthetic codes, challenging expectations of the body, femininity, and beauty. photos by @artdocchicago by @__________flatline
