Mood Lighting

Opening Reception: Thursday, July 4th, 7–10PM

Mortal Machine Gallery 

940 Royal Street, New Orleans

Mortal Machine Gallery is proud to present Mood Lighting, a three-person exhibition featuring new works by Alex Garant, Ruby Roth, and Rachael Bridge. Opening July 4th in the French Quarter, this show brings together three visionary artists exploring the emotional charge and narrative complexity of the human figure.

Each artist approaches figuration as a portal: into dream, identity, myth, or memory. Garant’s hypnotic compositions fracture perception through doubled features and bold patterns. Roth’s haunting portraits channel emotional clarity with symbolic weight. Bridge’s lush oil paintings pull viewers into darkly elegant worlds where beauty and unease quietly coexist.

This exhibition casts a low glow on the deeper corners of the self where personas shift, meanings flicker, and stories emerge through shadow and light.

Rachael Bridge will be in attendance for the opening reception on Friday, July 4th, from 7–10PM.
