Brian Zimmerman, Ruth Lantz, and Nabil Mousa Exhibitions

April 3 – May 23, 2026

The Foundry Art Centre is delighted to announce to the opening of three new solo exhibitions by artists Brian Zimmerman, Ruth Lantz, and Nabil Mousa.

Dallas-based, interdisciplinary artist Brian Zimmerman’s exhibition, Being Parts of Something, considers the ways we move through life as both isolated figures and interconnected forces. By creating life-sized figurative sculptures from plaster, silicone, concrete, and lighting that evokes Las Vegas neon signs, industrial materials and organic forms intermesh to illuminate an invisible chain of reliance: energy passed, shared, utilized, and dispersed. Here, interdependence is not separation, but participation – each action shaping and being shaped by everything else it touches.

Ruth Lantz is a visual artist based in Urbana, Illinois, whose practice explores the collision between 19th century American landscape painting and the digital environments we now inhabit. Through her exhibition, Interlacing Forests, Lantz explores how romantic ideals of nature and progress continue to shape the ways landscapes are imagined, constructed, and mediated in the technological present.

In the East Gallery, Nabil Mousa will present Shapes of Transcendence: Exploring Profound Simplicity, a collection of paintings inspired by Mousa’s spiritual journey to Sedona, Arizona, and the ancient tradition of Tantra painting. These works evoke a sense of serenity and spiritual connection, offering a visual pathway to inner contemplation and renewal.

These new exhibitions will open on Friday, April 3rd, 5-8pm, as part of the Foundry’s First Friday programming. Art activities, music, the Foundry bar, and more will be available throughout the evening.

Being Parts of Something and Interlacing Forests will be on view in the Main Galleries through May 23rd; Shapes of Transcendence: Exploring Profound Simplicity will be on view in the East Gallery through May 16th.
