Why center on Washington DC region artists?
DC, Maryland, and Virginia artists are working in a deeply engaged local art world that is at the red-hot center of the United States’ political landscape, and yet their voices are largely ignored by the international art world and media.

PAST EXHIBITIONS AT THE SILVA GALLERY:
The Silva Gallery x Latela Curatorial is pleased to present Lineal, a solo exhibition of mixed media artworks by artist Rania Hassan. Known for her public sculptures and large-scale museum installations, Hassan offers an intimate glimpse into her practice in Lineal, where framed drawings are displayed next to delicate cut outs and mixed media woven installations.
The Silva Gallery x Latela Curatorial is pleased to present In Light We Move, a solo exhibition of ten monoprints on paper by artist Rose Jaffe. Expanding on her printmaking practice, Jaffe’s vibrant and playful imagery have recently evolved into a more layered approach.
The Silva Gallery x Latela Curatorial is pleased to announce Wanderings, a solo exhibition of fourteen new abstract paintings by artist Anne Hanger. Through the visual language of geometric minimalism, Hanger distills elements from her routine practice of watching the sun rise from the Blue Ridge Mountains and set behind the Appalachian Mountains near her home and studio.
The Silva Gallery x Latela Curatorial is pleased to present Movement and Memory, a solo exhibition of eight mixed media artworks by artist Ernest Shaw. Through multi-layered imagery, Shaw’s work uses energetic linework and areas of color blocking to fuse realistic portraits of contemporary young Black males with sketches of historical ethnic tropes. In presenting his subjects in this manner, Shaw reveals an intimate reflection of his personal journey of grief, vulnerability, and healing after the loss of his young son to cancer.
The Silva Gallery x Latela Curatorial is pleased to present Spring in a Moon Jar, a solo exhibition of eight paintings by artist Julia Chon. Inspired by the limited spaces in which many were required to exist during the pandemic, Spring in a Moon Jar explores what it means to find peace in solitude. Through a combination of intimate portraiture and still life artworks, Chon reminds viewers how surrender to isolation can be restorative and that nature is everywhere.
The Silva Gallery x Latela Curatorial is pleased to present Seed Scattering, a solo exhibition of new collage tapestries by Nicole Salimbene. Bridging the seen and unseen, Salimbene engages a surrealistic approach to spiritual ecology. Composed of 11 contemporary collage tapestries - odes to medieval tapestries and bird encounters - this exhibition intersects the realms of relationality, mysticism, and materiality.
The Silva Gallery x Latela Curatorial is pleased to present Chroma, a solo exhibition of new and recent paintings by Jeremy Flick. Embracing a minimalist aesthetic that emphasizes the primary variables of painting, Flick’s paintings are characterized by their formal precision and systematic approach.
The Silva Gallery x Latela Curatorial is thrilled to announce the solo exhibition In Consideration by Joseph Shetler. Primarily recognized for his monochromatic drawings and paintings, Joe Shetler introduces color in a new body of work for In Consideration. Shetler’s signature linework, delicate and precise in its formulation of abstract planes and grids, seemed to simultaneously float above and ground into its canvases. 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?
The Silva Gallery x Latela Curatorial is excited to announce the solo exhibition Monuments and Black Bouquets by Schaun Champion. In the first unveiling of her artwork in a solo exhibition, Champion conjoins two series of photography: Monuments and A Black Bouquet, offering an intimate reflection on Black joy, identity and commemoration.

The Silva Gallery x Latela Curatorial is excited to announce the solo exhibition Folks by Samuel Miranda. Miranda’s Folks exhibition is inspired by the rich stories of the folks in the Mount Pleasant “barrio”; as well as the stories he’s encountered during his travels to Madrid and Havana. By seeking out and building close relationships with musicians and artists resident in the community, Miranda is initiated into the local culture, given passage into each community’s history, and given permission to excavate memories and stories.
Invocations features artwork by Kate Fitzpatrick, Rose Jaffe, Jackie Milad, Lee Nowell-Wilson, Kate Sable and Nastassja E. Swift. The artworks in this exhibition are material mirrors of the artists’ time spent in the intentional, healing stillness of devotion, mantra, meditation, self-reflection, and prayer.
