<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Opening Reception:<\/strong> Thursday, July 30<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gallery MC is pleased to present 10 Years of Tuning<\/strong>, exhibition by Mensur Bojda, bringing together a decade of work created since the artist’s arrival in New York City. Spanning ten years of experimentation, observation, and material exploration, the exhibition traces the evolution of an artistic practice that refuses to settle into a single visual language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rather than following one stylistic direction, Bojda’s work unfolds through distinct bodies of work, each emerging from an immediate curiosity or lived experience. His practice moves fluidly between drawing, painting, printmaking, and sculptural objects, allowing each idea to determine its own material and form. The result is a collection of interconnected series that document not only artistic development but also the shifting interests, environments, and questions that have shaped the artist over the past decade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At times, Bojda’s work is driven by energetic, expressive line, echoing the emotional urgency of early Expressionism. Other works slow into meditative compositions informed by Eastern philosophy, martial arts, and contemplative traditions. Elsewhere, minimalist constructions and fabricated objects reveal an ongoing fascination with making, engineering, and the quiet beauty of structure. These varied approaches are not separate identities but parallel conversations, existing simultaneously within the artist’s practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exhibition presents works inspired by music, martial arts, botanical forms, the everyday rhythms of Hell’s Kitchen, and moments of ordinary observation transformed through sustained attention. Visitors will encounter paintings, drawings, prints, and sculptural works that move across different periods and series, revealing a practice that embraces change while maintaining a consistent commitment to curiosity and material exploration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exhibition’s title, 10 Years of Tuning<\/strong>, takes its name from Bojda’s ongoing series of piano paintings. Borrowing the language of tuning while subtly shifting it into “tinning,” the title becomes both a personal reference and a metaphor for artistic practice itself: ten years of adjusting, refining, experimenting, and finding resonance through making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rather than presenting a definitive conclusion, 10 Years of Tuning<\/strong> offers a snapshot of an evolving practice\u2014one that continues to move freely between disciplines, ideas, and materials. It is an invitation to experience ten years of creative searching and to discover the unexpected connections that emerge between seemingly unrelated works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
