Immersive Worlds: Cities, Castles and Countrysides

Immersive Worlds: Cities, Castles and Countrysides explores the many worlds we inhabit: real and fantastical. Curated by North Pole Artist Max LaZebnik, the exhibition draws deeply from the studio’s archive to present a compelling selection of works that examine the spaces, landscapes, and communities that shape our sense of belonging.  Moving between urban centers, fantastical structures, and rural environments, the featured works invite viewers to consider how meaning is constructed through place.

Max processes his life experiences as a neurodivergent person and the social justice issues impacting his life and the world around him through portraiture. His passions are evident in his diverse collection of work which explores subjects related to politics, current events, art, theme parks, music, film, and pop culture.
