Donahue-Shipp - Kiki Gaffney - Judy Gelles - Raymond SaáAPRIL 17 - JUNE 13, 2026Pentimenti is proud to announce its forthcoming exhibition, Where Spring Begins to Speak: Works From Our Collection (Part 2), on view from April 17 through June 13, 2026. This second installment of Works From Our Collection highlights five additional artists who have been central to our programming.In Where Spring Begins to Speak, each artist reflects on the shifting, present rhythms of nature and current time. In her collage series Storm, La Vaughn Belle explores the aesthetic possibilities of land, sea, and weather, imagining new geographies and ways of understanding space, self, and the turbulent histories that have shaped the Caribbean. Through cuts and burns in the paper, gestures central to her practice, she evokes the intertwined forces of violence and repair that continue to shape the Caribbean today.On view are two works by Brandon J. Donahue-Shipp. He reimagines the familiar basketball as a mandala form, emerging from the wall like a flower and imbuing an everyday object with organic vitality and poetic resonance. Alongside it, a sculpture created from AstroTurf introduces a lush, springlike presence that reflects on the substitution of nature, emphasizing community engagement, sports, and spirituality.Kiki Gaffney’s work reflects the cyclical rhythms of nature, balancing slow, meditative processes with the unpredictable forces of changing seasons, sun, and wind. Her practice explores how natural “architectures”, patterns that emerge without imposed order, can inform and shape the structures of human life.Spring, for many of us, embodies the vitality of youth within the cycle of life. As we grow up, we carry the voices of our parents, their advice, guidance, warnings, and critiques echoing in our minds. The work on view draws from the words of Judy Gelles’s mother. Gelles explores the weight and resonance of language, revealing how it shapes her understanding of care and responsibility as she grows older.Raymond Saá is a Cuban-American artist whose abstract, process-driven work deconstructs and reconstructs natural elements, creating motifs that reflect his Cuban heritage and link organic forms with architectural structures. The two works on view evoke the sensation of a first breath of spring, crisp, invigorating, and full of promise.Together, these works create a dynamic conversation about transition and awakening, inviting viewers to reflect on the subtle and profound moments of change that so often accompany the arrival of spring.For all inquiries, please contact us at mail@pentimenti.com or +1 (215) 625-9990.HOURS: Tuesday – Friday, 10 AM – 5 PM; Saturday, 12 – 5 PM or by appointment. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/philadelphia/rsvp-to-where-spring-begins-to-speak-works-from-our-collection-part-2/100001986996311456 - **Event Categories**: art, exhibitions, sports, it - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Philadelphia - **state**: PA - **country**: United States - **location**: Pentimenti Gallery - **lat**: 39.9531754 - **long**: -75.1429059 - **full address**: Pentimenti Gallery, 145 North 2nd Street, Philadelphia, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: RSVP to "Where Spring Begins to Speak: Works From Our Collection (Part 2)" - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/410413c4cb493fa18a6f30aef15a0ac9274336f30532ab11883f611f69693baa-rimg-w1200-h896-dceeeeee-gmir.jpg?v=1775776763 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is RSVP to "Where Spring Begins to Speak: Works From Our Collection (Part 2)" being held? - **A:** RSVP to "Where Spring Begins to Speak: Works From Our Collection (Part 2)" takes place on Fri, 17 Apr, 2026 at 06:00 pm to Fri, 17 Apr, 2026 at 08:00 pm at Pentimenti Gallery, 145 North 2nd Street, Philadelphia, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing RSVP to "Where Spring Begins to Speak: Works From Our Collection (Part 2)"? - **A:** RSVP to "Where Spring Begins to Speak: Works From Our Collection (Part 2)" is organized by Pentimenti Gallery. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
