Atlantic Gallery is very pleased to present, The Interior Wild, curated by Etty Yaniv. The Interior Wild invites artists to explore how feeling, memory, and perception take shape through connection with materials, engagement with space, and gestures of making. During this challenging time, as our world undergoes significant shifts on multiple levels, the exhibition emphasizes states of transformation—emotional, physical, and perceptual. Works may convey fluctuating mental states, emotional tension, biological processes, or memory through texture, repetition, and form.

The Exhibition will be on view February 17th – March 7th, 2026. An opening reception will be held for the artists on Thursday, February 19th 5:30 – 8 PM.

The juror and curator, Etty Yaniv, will award one artist a grand-prize of a one-week solo show at Atlantic Gallery at a future date.

Atlantic Gallery is located in the Landmark Arts Building, half a block from the High Line, in Manhattan’s Chelsea gallery district. This historic building is home to more than two dozen art galleries. The Gallery may be accessed from either the building’s West 27th or West 28th Street entrances.

Atlantic Gallery represents a select group of artists, who jointly own and manage it. Rotating exhibitions feature the work of the Gallery’s member artists, as well as the work of other artists. Atlantic Gallery is committed to supporting creative autonomy and excellence. Its innovative programs create a forum where both participating artists and the public provide mutual challenge, support and inspiration.

Founded by painters and printmakers in 1974, Atlantic Gallery migrated from Brooklyn to SoHo in 1979 and to Chelsea in 2007, having added photographers and sculptors to its roster of artists. In 2012, the Gallery moved further west to its current location.
