Stella Flame Gallery in Bridgehampton presents its Summer 2026 season, marking an exciting expansion of the gallery’s curatorial vision, bringing together contemporary art and fine jewelry through a dynamic series of exhibitions and guest residencies.
Broadening its focus to include conceptual narrative art, the gallery will present compelling new works by Emanuel De Sousa, Cecilia Paredes, and Lucy Cookson — three artists whose distinct approaches to figurative art and florals create a rich and evocative dialogue across mediums and sensibilities.
De Sousa’s “Flowers From Zeus” channels a playful, Dada-inspired spirit, layering mythical figures and botanical elements with wit, spontaneity, and emotional intensity.
Paredes, known for her immersive photographic tableaux, dissolves the boundaries between body and landscape, becoming one with lush floral and natural environments in meditations on identity, camouflage, and transformation.
Cookson’s ethereal, large-scale watercolor compositions evoke painterly poetry, in which delicate figures and flowers emerge from soft, atmospheric dreamscapes.
Together, these artists expand Stella Flame Gallery’s summer program into a deeply visual exploration of beauty, perception, and the contemporary figure, complemented by the gallery’s celebrated guest jeweler residencies spotlighting innovative voices in wearable fine jewelry from across the globe.
