(Guttenberg, NJ) – Guttenberg Arts is pleased to announce Space in Time, a group exhibition featuring Guttenberg Arts is pleased to present The World in My Eyes, a solo exhibition by artist Darin Wacs. The exhibition will be on view from Saturday, May 17 through Sunday, June 15, 2025. Join us for the opening reception on Saturday, May 17, from 7 PM to 9 PM. RSVP at guttenbergarts.org.

Darin Wacs explores the space between the familiar and the imaginary through whimsical cutout shapes and bold, organic forms. Drawing inspiration from artists such as Matisse and Calder, her work vibrates with color, movement, and curiosity.

Influenced by the mysterious world beneath the sea, Wacs constructs imagined ecosystems made up of layered, color-saturated forms. These shapes, curled tendrils, floating plants, jagged fins, and watchful eyes suggest creatures and landscapes without becoming fully representational. Her intuitive process allows for surprise and discovery, inviting viewers into joyful, otherworldly environments.

At the heart of her practice is a deep commitment to play. Through experimentation and improvisation, Wacs creates visual narratives where boundaries between animal, plant, and abstraction blur, resulting in lively, imaginative works that encourage exploration and wonder.

The World in My Eyes offers a glimpse into a vibrant, strange universe shaped by instinct, imagination, and the freedom of play.
