(New York, NY – April 15, 2025) –Kate Oh Gallery is proud to present Selective Memory, a solo exhibition by multidisciplinary New York artist Nevil Dwek, on view from May 1–17, 2025, at the gallery’s Upper East Side location at 31 E. 72nd Street.
A graduate of NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts, Dwek’s art has been exhibited internationally, including shows with The Core Club, Shrine Gallery, Artopia Consulting and Red Fox Gallery.

In Selective Memory, Dwek invites viewers to explore the space where memory and presence converge, where the light of now reflects the shadows of then. He uses windows as both literal and metaphorical portals, as each piece invites a return to memory through light and perception. Reflections, shifting shadows, and subtle color are more than visual elements, holding a romantic nostalgia shaped by moments that once felt more alive, more connected. What we remember depends on where we are now.

Using his personal photography archive, Dwek builds dimensional, collage-like works crafted using materials such as aluminum, mirrors, and plexiglass to create that layered, shifting world. He uses photo paper and clear film, cutting it by hand and layering it to build dimensionality and includes his writing in the pieces as well as AI tools when needed to expand and support the emotional and conceptual depth of the work. To evoke the dreamlike, shifting quality that memories often hold, Dwek adds alcohol inks and Indian inks to introduce fluid and unpredictable color in the work.

“The past in this series is not static. It flickers, fades, glows again. And through reflective materials, we glimpse how the past and present coexist, as the light and reflections stir a quiet tension between presence and memory,” said Dwek. “These reflections are not fixed. They evolve.”
Dwek will also host an author reading with Michelle Young for her newest book The Art Spy: The Extraordinary Untold Tale of WWII Resistance Hero Rose Valland on May 8th from 6pm – 8pm.
On May 17th, the gallery will participate in the Madison Avenue Spring Gallery Walk, where Dwek will hold an artist talk at 1pm, 2pm and 3pm.
