Maggee Day, "Salty," 2022

Mónica Reyes Gallery presents Heat Wave, a late summer group show celebrating the slow, heat-soaked days of August.

If the beach down the street seems just a little too far away and a little too full, then step into the MRG’s recreation of a day by the water complete with some cooling blues of works by artists Maggee Day, Tiko Kerr, Kriss Munsya, Bernadette Phan and Valérie d. Walker; a sandy beach prepped for lounging evoked by works by Cameron McLellan, Andrea Taylor and Mina Totino; and all while Annie Briard’s glowing sun-like circle slowly marks the passage of time through changing hues. As we collectively relax into the dwindling days of summer vacation and prepare for faster paced rhythms of fall, MRG invites us to take pause and revel in this brief window of time, where we can give into the heat and seek escape by whatever body of water — be it the ocean, a pool, or a garden hose — is nearby and ready to cool us off.
