GRIT Gallery’s Upcoming Exhibit “I Have Been Here All Along” Is About Reclaiming One’s Voice, Space, and Power

The new work features photography and illustrations that represent struggles the participating artists endured, transforming vulnerability into an emblem of power.

“I Have Been Here All Along” is a collaboration between photographer Erin Braden and illustrator Andre Junget, united for the first time to present a body of work that evokes a striking dialogue on identity, visibility, and the concept of self. The show runs May 16 through July 5 at GRIT Gallery in Newburgh, NY.

The artists both utilize their medium as a reclamation of space and voice after traumatic lived experiences. Erin Braden’s photographic works are primarily n**e self-portraits that use the body as both medium and message, transforming the vulnerable format into a bold expression of self-empowerment and radical acceptance.“Each photograph carries emotional immediacy while maintaining a refined aesthetic sensibility, balancing softness with quiet strength,” she says.

Andre Junget’s series of hand-drawn works examine the tension between his authentic self and the public identity shaped or restricted by authority. His drawings represent the unseen self, creating strong expressions where a voice was previously silenced. The gallery will be filled with his paintings and pastels and drawings to create a visual balance.

The final piece to the puzzle was completed when the two artists creatively collide in a photography installation that tells both of their remarkable stories in real time. Together, their works create a cohesive and conceptually sophisticated exhibition that speaks to themes of autonomy, identity, and psychological depth.

Open weekends from 1 to 5 showing through May 10Th!!

Grit Works Gallery proudly presents Hive Mind, a dynamic exhibition of encaustic artwork by Carol Flaitz, Lisa Pressman, and Cynthia Winika, on view from March 14 through May 10, 2026. Bringing together three accomplished women artists working in the ancient and luminous medium of encaustic, the exhibition celebrates individual vision while highlighting a shared material language rooted in process, nature, and transformation.
The exhibition opens on Saturday, March 14, with a public reception from 4–6 pm, featuring live music by the New York School of Music.
All three artists work with encaustic, an elegant and enduring medium made from beeswax and damar resin combined with fine pigments and applied to absorbent surfaces using heat. Known for its depth, translucency, and tactile richness, encaustic allows for layering, revision, and the visible passage of time—qualities that resonate strongly throughout Hive Mind.
