Tethys Art Presents “The Stars of Tomorrow,” An Exhibition Of Emerging Artists

Tethys Art has opened its second exhibition at its gallery at 71 Hill Street in Southampton. The group exhibition, “The Stars of Tomorrow,” features emerging talents and more established artists including Jonas Wood, Joel Mesler, Josh Smith, Sydney Vernon, Gabriela Cohen, Monsieur Zohore, Heather Day, and Jessica Lichtenstein.

Since its inaugural exhibition in June 2021 “From Keith Haring to the Screen Generation,” which featured artwork by Keith Haring, Richard Prince, Pieter Schoolwerth, Fawn Rogers, Pearlyn Lii, and Elise Swopes, Tethys Art has initiated a fresh perspective on understanding, appreciating, and collecting art, focusing on the interplay of genres and social influences to re-contextualize traditional constructs.

The latest installation from the gallery presents artists from recent MFA graduates to those with an institutional presence, in different stages of their careers. Juxtaposing established artists who have achieved recognition relatively quickly with emerging talents whose potential is compelling, this exhibition explores the evolution of an artist’s practice, and aims to help collectors recognize these talents earlier in their trajectory.

Tethys Art Co-Founder, Elena Ulansky, an artist and collector herself, comments that “although collectors are all different, I believe there is an underlying desire on all their parts, to discover new artists and connect more deeply with the work they already collect, as well as make intelligent investments.”

Grounded in this curatorial vision of quality and experimentation, Tethys Art aims to educate, making art accessible to new collectors while challenging more mature collectors to rethink the status quo and instigate culturally and socially relevant dialogues.
