C24 Gallery presents Contact Points with Tony Zhao and Vidal Mouet

C24 Gallery in New York has opened 'Contact Points,' a two-person exhibition featuring painters Tony Zhao and Vidal Mouet. The show highlights their shared focus on the painted object as a site of pressure and negotiation, rejecting the canvas as a window. Instead, meaning arises from texture, scale, edge, weight, and repetition. Mouet draws inspiration from everyday objects like cardboard boxes and stacked coffee cups, translating their contours and balance into oil paintings that hover between representation and abstraction.
