Phosphene Reverie, a solo exhibition by LUPA

On view at Glass Rice, 808 Sutter Street, San Francisco until June 28th 2025.

exhibited.at is honoured to present with Glass Rice, LUPA’s debut solo exhibition.

Phosphene Reverie drifts through a constellation of interior thresholds—spaces that linger between light and shadow, memory and sensation, vulnerability and refuge. Named after the phosphene phenomenon—the fleeting light seen behind closed eyes—the exhibition invites viewers into a suspended dream-state, where quiet figures inhabit luminous, enclosed worlds.

In LUPA’s universe, the body is held by nature: surrounded by cascading water, cradled in orchids, submerged in moss-lined pools. These landscapes are not mere backdrops, but emotional terrains—structures shaped by a longing for softness, stillness, and shelter. Her figures move gently through them, caught between reaching out and turning inward, mirroring the contemporary tension between connection and self-preservation.

Each painting becomes a sanctuary, a fragment of reverie where feeling takes on atmosphere. With softened contours, layered textures, and a diffused, glowing light, LUPA’s work traces the delicate boundaries between self and other, reality and dream, silence and touch.
Phosphene Reverie offers not an escape, but a quiet return—to the intimate inner landscapes we carry and continually remake.
