"Convergence" by Duke Windsor brings together two distinct artistic styles—textured urban abstracts and realistic alleyway scenes—to explore the raw beauty and hidden stories of city life. Through layers of paint, rich textures, and touches of gold leaf, Windsor captures the interplay between gritty urban surfaces and the vibrant experiences they reflect. His detailed alleyway paintings, inspired by thousands of photographs, contrast with expressive abstract works, revealing the unseen narratives within our built environment. Convergence invites viewers to consider the ways our cities shape us, encouraging a deeper appreciation for the ever-evolving landscapes we call home. The exhibition will be on view from March 8 – May 4, with an opening reception on March 23 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Sparks Gallery on Facebook / Instagram
