Energies Khatantuul Zorig & Kyle Dell'Aquila SEP 28 - JAN 5 Will be on View in the Digital Gallery < Back Overview Khat and Kyle are partners in life, business, and creativity. They explore the intersection of nature, humanity, and machines. Their work embodies the cross-section of internal and external energies with the shared mission of empowering those often overlooked. Khat’s energies focus on internal empowerment, nurturing resilience, and healing within individuals, particularly the underprivileged. Growing up in the Mongolian countryside with a love for math and the arts, Khat pursued her education in math and business at UVA and MIT. She built AI and analytics technologies at Accenture and Buddy, as well as invested in AI startups at Innospark Ventures. After realizing that AI will automate repetitive tasks and especially after meeting Kyle, Khat was inspired to explore her creative skills through film and fashion. Her explorations are shaped by her childhood in Mongolia during its time as a soviet satellite state, the loss of her father to alcohol after she immigrated to the US as an exchange student at 16, her life as an immigrant transitioning from blue collar worker to the tech and finance world in the US, her own personal struggles and transformations along the way, the differences of culture and values across Mongolia and US in variety of settings, and the future she wants to build that combines the best of both worlds. On the other hand, Kyle's energies are channeled into external empowerment, manifesting through technological innovation and artistic expression. By creating tools and ideas, he aims to inspire the next generation to push boundaries and envision a brighter future where technology and creativity work hand in hand to solve the world's challenges. A native of Santa Clara, California, Kyle is Taiwanese-Italian-Nicaraguan and grew up in the Bay Area with a deep love for the arts. His passion for blending technology and creativity led him to study industrial design at the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), where his energies for integrating art and engineering bloomed. As he builds an electric heavy machinery robotics startup in Boston, Kyle continues to draw inspiration from the legacy of Nikola Tesla, inspiring the future with products that merge electricity, apparel, and media.

Tamera Avery: Slipstream Tamera Avery SEP 21 - JAN 5 Will be on View in the Permanent Collection Gallery < Back Overview The Triton Museum of Art presents Tamera Avery: Slipstream by Bay Area Artist, Tamera Avery.

From glacial edges to post-nuclear bunkers, these environments are imbued with both potential and uncertainty: within them, young individuals navigate unconventional paths, transforming everyday objects into symbolic armor. Tamera Avery: Slipstream will be showcased in the Permanent Collection Gallery. Marquee: Tamera Avery, Slipstream , 2020, oil on canvas. Previous Next

Anatomica Hana Lock SEP 14 - JAN 5 Will be on View in the Rotunda Gallery < Back Overview Hana Lock is the Best of Show winner for the 2023 Salon at the Triton. Her work is an intriguing mix of bizarre and sublime, depicting in great detail our delicate anatomy alongside or combined with other wonderful creatures such as rabbits, frogs, mice, snakes, wolves, beautiful plants and flowers - our connection to the natural world. Her work displays our vulnerability and forces us to confront what is inevitable - that, along with all over living beings, we will all die and decompose. However, this fate is not portrayed as something to be feared, but rather embraced as part of the natural rhythm of life and death. This exhibition will include a selection of 2D works by the artist. Marquee: Hana Lock, Basara , 2024, ballpoint pen, watercolor, and acrylic. Previous Next

Overview: Join us for an immersive art workshop under the guidance of mixed-media artist Muneeba Zeeshan. Learn the tips and tricks to paint stunning sunset waves on a wood panel, while capturing the brilliance of the ocean and bringing its beauty to life. Questions? Please contact education@tritonmuseum.org Your Instructor Muneeba Zeeshan Muneeba Zeeshan’s mixed media artwork uses different kinds of inks on paper and canvas to create abstract work that simultaneously rises, evaporates, and transcends. Through the ebb and flow of inks, she creates something that is earthy, fluid, and ethereal all at once. Muneeba got a chance to travel across the globe. From those ardent travels, she brings with her the influences that have inspired her along the way. She now resides in sunny Bay Area, CA. The place itself is thriving with art and diverse culture. The calming Pacific coastline and the sheer energy of the city are enough to invigorate the artist that she is. Muneeba tends to draw inspiration from everything around her, from simple things to the environment to world events. Her work involves mixed media abstract art, predominantly alcohol ink and acrylic ink on Yupo paper, canvas and other surfaces. She also likes to experiment with different textures and metallics. Her process of creating art is inherently organic, so no two art pieces are the same. But often, there are art pieces that come together cohesively, despite being completely different. Her artwork has been represented at international and local art galleries and exhibitions. She honors and cherishes the relationships she’s built with clients and the creative community over the years. That, and the gift of art, are the biggest reward to her. Muneeba is currently working as the Visual Arts specialist at the Children’s Discovery Museum designing and implementing the arts and education program at the museum.
