PRESERVATION: EXHIBITION

A SOLO EXHIBITION BY ALBERTO DEVON

Closing Reception: July 12, 2025 | 6-9pm

DepARTure GALLERY invites you to experience PRESERVATION—a compelling solo exhibition by artist Alberto Devon that traces his creative evolution and newfound clarity. Leading into his current pursuit of balance and inner peace, this collection honors the journey of artistic and personal preservation. With each piece, Devon reflects on memory, cultural legacy, and the stories that shape the self—offering a powerful meditation on growth, grounding, and the art of becoming.

ROOTED IN REFLECTION

“Preservation” is a powerful reflection on artistic evolution, grounding, and growth. This deeply personal exhibition weaves together standout pieces from Alberto Devon’s first four solo collections, inviting viewers into a curated dialogue between past and present.

Rooted in raw expression and bold symbolism reminiscent of Basquiat, Alberto’s earlier works radiate energy and emotional urgency. In “Preservation,” these pieces stand alongside newer work that explores internal balance, clarity, and the quiet strength of self-awareness. The result is a moving contrast—chaos and calm, memory and momentum, held in a single space.

More than a retrospective, this collection honors the preservation of self, culture, and story. As Alberto prunes, refines, and reflects, this show marks a pivotal point in his journey—where artistic legacy meets the pursuit of peace.

Experience “Preservation”—a vibrant, living archive of where he’s been and a glimpse into where he’s headed.
