The Silva Gallery x Latela Curatorial is thrilled to announce the solo exhibition In Consideration by Joseph Shetler.

Introducing color as a participative subject in his work, Shetler presents a stark contrast between the color-filled backgrounds and white surfaces allocated for linework. The color fields are strong and attention-calling, yet they seem to elevate the drawing surface of each painting. Which field is more present? Or, can we consider how they exist together?
