Join us tomorrow night from 6 - 9 pm for the 2026 Edge Award exhibition, Just Passing Through, featuring winner, Kole Nichols. The exhibition will be on view through May 14.

“Kole Nichols’ practice is a poetic inquiry encompassing cartographic and material investment. Though historically Nichols’ painting supports have included slate, steel, and paper, for Just Passing Through, Nichols foregrounds canvas.

Considering mapping, movement, and the cosmos, the work is a meditative dialogue between a material’s history and Nichols’ hand. Through creasing the primed material before adding layered planes of ground, he records memories of the physical stress on the surfaces. Formerly folded valleys deny pigmentation, joining and criss-crossing, forming linear radial patterns. Subtle, structural troughs contrast shapes accumulated by layering grisaille planes of dye and paint.

The works are at once both finite and expansive, inviting reflection on points in space and the chasms in between.”

- Jodi Hays,
