Cosmic Bender | Curated by Kristen Liu Wong and Luke Pelletier

We’re proud to announce COSMIC BENDER, a vibrant, mind-warping group exhibition curated by power duo Kristen Liu-Wong and Luke Pelletier, opening May 2nd at Mortal Machine Gallery.


This show brings together a killer lineup of artists from around the world, each bending visual reality in their own distinct way. From hyper-colorful pop surrealism to gritty narrative illustration, Cosmic Bender is a portal into a universe where the strange feels familiar and the familiar gets real weird.


Featuring works by:

Tattoo Cyborg, Angela Dalinger, Sheryo, Yok, Rachel O’Donnell, Ara Cho, Luke Pelletier, Kristen Liu-Wong, Maxwell McMaster, Max Seckel, Robin Eisenberg, Tara Booth, Melissa Monroe, and Jesse Reno.


Expect maximalism, wild creatures, neon nostalgia, and a whole lot of attitude. Come get bent with us.


Opening Reception:

Friday, May 2, 2025 7-10PM

Mortal Machine Gallery

940 Royal Street, New Orleans, LA
