Tinney Contemporary is pleased to announce Fount, a group exhibition showcasing the works of Tyler Rene Angelo, Lindsy Davis, Hannah Rose Dumes, and Sabra Moon Elliot.

Fount signifies a source or origin—a wellspring of creativity where ideas and materials converge. The featured artists explore abstraction with a spirit of openness and improvisation, embracing play and spontaneity. Organic forms and vibrant colors interact dynamically, guided by intuition. Underlying this exploration is a subtle yet persistent reference to the body—through form, gesture, or materiality. Some works evoke the figure explicitly, while others suggest corporeality through fluidity, texture, or the physicality of their making.

The exhibition unfolds as a call-and-response, where each mark, form, or gesture acts as a point of connection within a larger creative system. Like a river branching in response to its terrain, the artworks shift and evolve based on artistic impulses, mediums, and constraints.

Despite differences in form, Fount alludes to a common creative source—an ongoing process where materials and ideas flow, merge, and generate new visual languages. This generative movement echoes the body’s own capacity for transformation, adaptation, and expression.

Tyler Rene Angelo’s pieces blend refined craftsmanship with experimental techniques, resulting in works that bridge the gap between abstraction and functionality. Angelo’s practice challenges traditional expectations of art-making, transforming materials into artifacts of innovation.

Lindsy Davis delves into the tactility of her chosen mediums, layering textures and forms in a way that transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary. Her work is a response to modern domesticity, highlighting the physicality of the creative process, making the material itself a central narrative.

Hannah Rose Dumes employs bold compositions and whimsical color palettes that evoke a sense of movement and spontaneity. Her works invite the viewer to engage with abstraction as a playful and exploratory process.

Sabra Moon Elliot is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice engages with the relationships between structure, color, and larger cultural and social phenomenon. Working across sculpture, installation, paintings, and ceramics, she is inspired by the inherent structures and form found in nature as well as outsider American quilt-making traditions.
