So happy to feature @flyingknight , a wonderful friend of mine whose work has never failed to leave me speechless.

Her art is a beautiful combination of meticulous attention to detail, thoughtful composition, and a distinctive approach to decor, while always inviting a deeper reflection on the world and society we live in today.

Invisible Rituals is a group exhibit featuring work by noted artists Flying Knight (aka Jayda Knight,) Jun Kuang, Joe Velez and Wei Yan. Deftly explores the ways in which perception shapes aspects of contemporary representational painting. Where pattern, repetition and atmosphere appear vibrantly in the paintings and mixed-media work by Flying Knight and Jun Kuang, works by Joe Velez and Wei Yan display a keen, concentrated self-awareness and psychological depth.

Featuring works by: @flyingknight @junkuangkuang @joevelez @koomoowei

🎨 On view: May 28 – July 4, 2026
📍 VillageOneArt: 150 W 25th Street, New York, NY
🥂 Opening Reception: Thursday, May 28, 6 PM
